Abstract
Dockless Bike-sharing systems can be treated as a typical paradigm of the sharing economy. Due to the indiscriminate use and placement of huge bikes, their scheduling rules are complicated, which poses a challenge to the macro-control of the companies To enhance the information dimension of bike Origin-Destination (OD) data, an algorithm based on grid features is proposed to reconstruct travel trajectories of OD data. This paper starts by analyzing and designing metaphors to describe the scheduling rules and trip characteristics of Dockless Bike-Sharing. The evaluation shows that the proposed metaphors are user-friendly to novice users. We argue that metaphors provide an effective way for users to understand abstract ideas in a visual design with a large dataset.
