This presentation shows how to apply advanced analytics to forecast the need for timely restocking of bike stations in Washington DC, by taking into account past history, weather, calendar, traffic conditions, and additional external information. A model is created to predict the restocking need of each station by the hour and based on the minimum bare number of input parameters. The minimum bare number of parameters, necessary to guarantee an adequate prediction accuracy turned out to be: bike station, current bike ratio at the station (# bikes/# slots), time of the day, and weekend vs. business day.
