Purpose: The article aims to build a mathematical model of a bike-sharing station based on an appropriate queueing system and show the model's usefulness in practice. Design/methodology/approach: In designing the model, constructing a queueing system described by exponential distributions with a finite accumulating buffer was used. The existence of the steady state of the system and the global balance principle were used to obtain analytical results. Findings: The most important analytical results are the stationary probability distribution of the number of rented bikes, the so-called loss probability (the probability that the customer has to resign from sharing due to the lack of bikes), as well as the average (mean) values of the number of rented bikes. Originality/value: The paper fits into the broadly understood trend of research related to the smart city concept. The proposed model may be beneficial in practice when designing specific solutions related to the development of bicycle rental stations. (original abstract)
