BICYCLE TRACKING FOR BIKE-SHARING SYSTEM

A bicycle-sharing system includes bicycles having beacons mounted thereto. Sensors are distributed throughout an urban environment and detect the beacons. Stations report check-in and check-out of the bicycles. Using reported detections of the bicycles and the check-in and check-out locations, a trajectory of the bicycle is determined. Where multiple sensors detect the beacon at a time, triangulation may be performed to more accurately determine the bicycle location. Trajectories of bicycles may be used for planning purposes or to track stolen or mislaid bicycles.
