Abstract
Public bikesharing systems are expected to function as the first- and last-mile service of public transportation rather than an alternative means of public transportation. Compared to station-based analysis, this study attempted to investigate the key factors affecting the contribution of the first- and last-mile service of bikesharing to public transportation systems from an origin–destination pair perspective. To this end, first-mile transfer trips at the destination stations and the last-mile trips at the origin stations of bikesharing were modeled using bivariate Poisson and bivariate generalized Poisson models based on the bikesharing system in Taipei metropolitan. The estimation results revealed that the BGP model performed better than the BP model, and that the contribution of both the first- and last-mile bikesharing service to public transportation strengthened as a function of a decrease in the bikesharing riding distance, the direction of the bikesharing origin–destination pair heading to central business district, and a high student and employment population.
公共自行车共享系统有望成为公共交通的首末站服务,而非公共交通的替代工具。与基于站点的分析相比,本研究试图从起点-终点配对的角度研究影响共享单车首末站服务对公共交通系统贡献的关键因素。为此,以台北都会区的共享单车系统为基础,使用双变量泊松模型和双变量广义泊松模型,对共享单车目的站的前一英里换乘人次和始发站的最后一英里人次进行了建模。估算结果表明,BGP 模型优于 BP 模型,并且随着共享单车骑行距离的缩短、共享单车起讫点对向中央商务区的方向以及学生和就业人口的增加,共享单车首末站服务对公共交通的贡献都有所增强。
期刊介绍:
Transportation Research: Part A contains papers of general interest in all passenger and freight transportation modes: policy analysis, formulation and evaluation; planning; interaction with the political, socioeconomic and physical environment; design, management and evaluation of transportation systems. Topics are approached from any discipline or perspective: economics, engineering, sociology, psychology, etc. Case studies, survey and expository papers are included, as are articles which contribute to unification of the field, or to an understanding of the comparative aspects of different systems. Papers which assess the scope for technological innovation within a social or political framework are also published. The journal is international, and places equal emphasis on the problems of industrialized and non-industrialized regions.
Part A''s aims and scope are complementary to Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, Part C: Emerging Technologies and Part D: Transport and Environment. Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review. Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour. The complete set forms the most cohesive and comprehensive reference of current research in transportation science.
