A proposal for a predictive analysis model for bike-sharing systems based on a mixed model of statistical and machine-learning approaches.The model assumes a Poisson distribution on bike station arrival and departures.

While several application domains are exploiting the added-value of analytics over various datasets to obtain actionable insights and drive decision making, the public policy management domain has not yet taken advantage of the full potential of the aforementioned analytics and data models.

This document details the strategy, the research needs, the critical importance of innovation in Artificial Intelligence and recommendations for future investments in Europe.
