Abstract:
A computer-implemented method is provided for allocating a set of shared dockless bikes. The method includes providing a notification to a user of an availability prediction of a shared dockless bike, from among the set of shared dockless bikes, based on a trajectory of the shared dockless bike with respect to a current location of the user, and adding the user to a request queue associated with the current location of the user, responsive to the user agreeing to wait a specified time period for access to the shared dockless bike. The method further includes maintaining an available bikes queue for newly available shared dockless bikes, from among the shared dockless bikes, responsive to the newly available ones of the shared dockless bikes becoming available. The method also includes notifying users of the newly available shared dockless bikes in a priority order determined from the request queue.
