Abstract: The development of Shared bicycles has a strong impact on all aspects of the city. This paper takes the development of Shared bicycles in New York City as an example, and constructs different evaluation and prediction models by using descriptive analysis method, entropy method, MNL and other theories. By comprehensive use of MATLAB, SPSS, EXCEL and other software programming solutions, the influences of Shared bicycles on different aspects of urban economy, transportation, society and environment are obtained, and their weights are calculated through modeling. Quantitative evaluation paper Shared cycling influence on urban traffic, as well as relevant economic, social and environmental impact, this article first by using MATLAB software to get four factors after the normalization of data, by use of EXCEL to make trend diagram, entropy value method model quantitative calculation of the Shared cycling for transportation, economic, social and environmental impact weight, through the contrast analysis shows that Shared cycling influence on traffic, environment, society and economy are diminishing. The characteristic of this paper is using the mathematical statistics analysis method to analyze Shared cycling for the influence of the different aspects in different cities, and on the basis of the problem background and model problem processing, some suggestions are put forward for the development of Shared bicycle.
