Students Daniel Hillebrand and Kilian Epple developed a data-based approach for identifying promising new rental #bike locations and wrote about their methodology and findings in the DiSC Blog:

Tweaking Innsbruck's Bike Sharing Network
The transport company Innsbrucker Verkehrsbetriebe (IVB) operates a bike sharing system in Innsbruck. Bikes can be rented and returned at fixed locations throughout the city. We have developed a data-based approach that identifies areas where new bike stations would most benefit university students, a main user group of this service.
