  • Abstract
    Today, many countries and organizations have suggested research methods for reducing CO2 emissions. However, they have not performed sufficient researches on their suggestions, and their results are insufficient. Hence, many organizations have conducted researches on methods to reduce CO2 emissions. As the outcome of these researches, we have demonstrated the potential of new traffic systems using bicycles. Cycling presents many advantages as a short-distance transportation mode in urban areas: it can contribute to relieving congestion in city centers by reducing car trips; it is truly environmentally friendly, providing mobility free of CO2 emissions. However, such bicycles systems are only small improvements and do not adequately consider current scenarios and customer requirements. The system is merely a benchmark of successful cases of some leading organizations. In this paper, we have examined the activation framework of bicycles on the basis of previous researches.
