Modelling of User Behaviour for Static Rebalancing of Bike Sharing System: Transfer of Demand from Bike-Shortage Stations to Neighbouring Stations
Algorithm 1
Algorithm for lost demand evaluation considering user behaviour.
Input: The initial station status (), the interstation acceptance rate matrix (), the interstation distance matrix ()
Output: Total lost demand

While and do
//Calculation of residual stock () of stations
//Calculation of residual demand () of stations
//Calculation of (i) backlog demand () of the target stations after transferring users from source stations which have a residual demand () not null, (ii) lost demand of each station (), and (iii) global lost demand ()

Let be a nonempty station (such as ), which is acceptable (such as ) and the closest, in the sense of the matrix (if there are several stations at the same distance, the smallest index station is chosen).
