Spatial analysis for E-bike market in Singapore

With the increase in bike sharing in Singapore, issue of bikes parked randomly at bus stops, dock less, at pavement meant for public places or some even dumped at unwanted location and drains, has been observed. Unfortunately, this problem of indiscriminate parking is causing inconvenience to public and pedestrians. It also introduces a complex issue of bikes being left at locations at which they may pose a hazard or impede pedestrian traffic. Moreover, there is no guarantee that the location is easily accessible. This geospatial analysis is for a new e-bike company who wants to enter the bike sharing market with a new e-bike product which runs on battery. These e-bikes can run at faster speed and take less space to park. This will be solving the problem stated above by introducing the fixed docking stations for e-bikes at various locations of the city. Each of these stations has a fixed capacity (typically around 20 e-bikes). Customers can swipe a card at the docking station to get access to the e-bike, and they drop it off at another station near their destination. These docking stations will be having an in-build charging point as well which will help to charge the e-bike once it is parked at the station. By doing a spatial analysis we aim to find the market for e-bikes in the city.
