DOI 10.1109/sist50301.2021.9465943
Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In this paper we analyze bike riding patterns in Almaty by employing the annual data from Almaty Bike system. The main contribution of the paper is explaining the factors effecting bike sharing usage in Almaty. To our knowledge this is the first (albeit preliminary) study to investigate behaviors of bike-sharing users in Kazakhstan using statistical and network analysis methods. The analysis shows that mostly bikes are used no more than 20 minutes, for the most part during the daytime, although the peak use is between 7 and 9 pm, and there is no consistent difference between bike use on weekends and weekdays.
