Abstract

Sharing mobility solutions changes people’s lives in cities; however, such services are not common in remote areas, where the most widespread transport mode is a privately owned car. The main challenge is that the existing transport system fails to meet the population’s daily travel needs in such regions. Sharing mobility covers environmental issues, infrastructure development, digitalisation, integration of different transport modes, and people behaviour changes. This study analyses the possibility of expanding the existing urban mobility sharing system in remote tourist areas of Lithuania; for this purpose, a small resort in the central part of Lithuania – Birštonas was selected, and a survey of residents and tourists (visitors) was conducted. Using the survey results of residents and tourists, the needs for Car Sharing (CS) and micro-mobility services are determined. The attitude of municipality, residents, tourists, service providers towards micro mobility and vehicle sharing services is determined. Based on the achieved results, further steps of service development are proposed. The article’s main aim is to evaluate the views of various stakeholders on the development of micro mobility and CS systems in remote areas and propose development solutions.

在偏远旅游区共享移动解决方案:立陶宛的案例研究

共享出行解决方案改变了人们在城市的生活;然而，这种服务在偏远地区并不常见，那里最普遍的交通方式是私家车。主要的挑战是，现有的交通系统无法满足这些地区人口的日常出行需求。共享交通涵盖环境问题、基础设施发展、数字化、不同交通方式的整合以及人们行为的改变。本研究分析了立陶宛偏远旅游区扩大现有城市交通共享系统的可能性;为此，立陶宛中部的一个小度假村- Birštonas被选中，并对居民和游客(游客)进行了调查。利用居民和游客的调查结果，确定对汽车共享(CS)和微移动服务的需求。确定了市政当局、居民、游客、服务提供商对微出行和车辆共享服务的态度。在此基础上，提出了服务发展的下一步措施。本文的主要目的是评估各利益相关者对偏远地区微移动和CS系统发展的看法，并提出发展解决方案。

期刊介绍： At present, transport is one of the key branches playing a crucial role in the development of economy. Reliable and properly organized transport services are required for a professional performance of industry, construction and agriculture. The public mood and efficiency of work also largely depend on the valuable functions of a carefully chosen transport system. A steady increase in transportation is accompanied by growing demands for a higher quality of transport services and optimum efficiency of transport performance. Currently, joint efforts taken by the transport experts and governing institutions of the country are required to develop and enhance the performance of the national transport system conducting theoretical and empirical research. TRANSPORT is an international peer-reviewed journal covering main aspects of transport and providing a source of information for the engineer and the applied scientist. The journal TRANSPORT publishes articles in the fields of: transport policy; fundamentals of the transport system; technology for carrying passengers and freight using road, railway, inland waterways, sea and air transport; technology for multimodal transportation and logistics; loading technology; roads, railways; airports, ports, transport terminals; traffic safety and environment protection; design, manufacture and exploitation of motor vehicles; pipeline transport; transport energetics; fuels, lubricants and maintenance materials; teamwork of customs and transport; transport information technologies; transport economics and management; transport standards; transport educology and history, etc.
