Table 2.

The calculation procedures for environmental benefits of all bike-sharing trips.

1 Extract the road network for vehicles in Beijing with OSMnx, which is denoted as GvNv,Lv,where Nv and Lv is the set of nodes and links of the road network for vehicles.
2 When trip distance d of bike sharing is larger than the thresholdθ, step (3)-(6) are conducted repeatedly:
3 Find the nearest point locations of (Olon,Olat) and (Dlon,Dlat)from Gv, denoted as (Ov'lon,Ov'lat) and (Dv'lon,Dv'lat).
4 Input (Dv'lon,Dv'lat), (Dv'lon,Dv'lat)and Gv, utilizing Dijkstra algorithm to calculate the shortest paths of all potential vehicle trips.
5 Save the distance length d'of the shortest paths of potential vehicle usage asRv.
6 Based on Eqs. (1), (2), calculate the potential fuel consumption E and emission Mi, namely, environmental benefits of one bike-sharing trip.
7 Add up potential fuel consumption E and emission Mi of all bike-sharing trips, and environmental benefits of bike sharing are obtained.
