Abstract

Many cities have introduced policies to promote cycling through personal and shared bicycles. However, there are limited studies simultaneously exploring the determinants affecting the types of cycling and their interactions within the urban mobility system. This article aims to analyze factors influencing the use of private and shared bicycles using data from a student survey conducted at 17 academic institutions in Lyon, using a copula-based binary choice model. Our results show that spatial factors, such as residential location, shared bike accessibility, and home-campus distance, strongly influence the active mode choice. They also provide novel evidence on the complementarity and substituability between cycling and other modes. For example, we find that while having a public transport season ticket significantly reduces the likelihood of commuting by bicycle, this substituability is more pronounced between public transport and shared bike use than between public transport and use of private bikes. However, for multomodal home-study trips, shared bikes are stronger complements to alternative modes (inclunding public transport) than private bikes. From a policy perspective, these results confirm the need for specific heterogeneous policies aimed at promoting cycling and sustainable mobility.
许多城市都出台了鼓励个人和共享单车骑行的政策。然而,同时探讨城市交通系统中影响自行车类型及其相互作用的决定因素的研究有限。本文旨在使用基于copula的二元选择模型,利用在里昂17所学术机构进行的学生调查数据,分析影响私人和共享自行车使用的因素。研究结果表明,居住区位、共享单车可达性和家校距离等空间因素对学生主动模式的选择有较大影响。这也为自行车与其他交通方式的互补性和可替代性提供了新的证据。例如,我们发现,虽然拥有公共交通季票大大降低了骑自行车上下班的可能性,但这种可替代性在公共交通和共享自行车之间比在公共交通和使用私人自行车之间更为明显。然而,对于多式联运的家庭学习旅行来说,共享单车比私人单车更能补充其他交通方式(包括公共交通)。从政策角度来看,这些结果证实了制定旨在促进自行车和可持续交通的具体异质性政策的必要性。
