摘要

在新兴技术的推动下,共享概念在向更可持续的交通方式转变的过程中发挥着越来越重要的作用。这项研究旨在为越来越多的按需运输服务文献做出贡献,特别强调在使用运输网络公司(TNCs)和微运输等服务时共享或拼车。该研究对2500多名受访者进行了一项共享出行调查,受访者来自德克萨斯州选定的地区,从大城市到小城市和农村地区。我们使用广泛的统计分析和推理技术对调查数据进行了详细的分析,并采用了面向实施的研究分析方法来解决理论与实践之间的差距。研究发现,人口统计、地理和建筑环境等因素在决定用户是选择共享服务还是汇集服务,以及/或他们如何看待这些选择方面发挥着重要作用。研究结果强调了提高安全和保障、提高对拼车好处的认识以及设计适当的政策措施以促进可持续交通的重要性。我们确定了潜在的运营改进、政府政策和雇主计划,以改善共享乘车服务并鼓励使用,例如减少共享乘车的不确定性,最大限度地减少乘客的不便。一个重要的发现是,需要优先考虑共享出行的运营改进,而不是仅仅依靠经济激励来诱导行为改变。无论所实施的改善、政策或计划的性质如何,提高公众意识和教育也至关重要。

Driving sustainable transportation: insights and strategies for shared-rides services
The concept of sharing, enabled by emerging technologies, is playing an increasingly important role in contributing to a transformation toward more sustainable transportation. This study aimed to contribute to the growing body of literature on on-demand transportation services, with a particular emphasis on sharing or pooling a ride when using services such as transportation-network companies (TNCs) and microtransit. The study conducted a shared mobility survey of over 2,500 respondents from selected locales across Texas—ranging from large urban areas to small cities and rural areas. We analyzed the survey data in detail using extensive statistical analysis and inferential techniques and adopted an analysis approach toward implementation-oriented research to address the gap between theory and practice. Demographic, as well as geographic and built-environment, factors were found to play an important role in determining whether users will opt for a shared or pooled service and/or how they perceive these alternatives. The findings highlight the importance of improving safety and security, increasing awareness of the benefits of ride-sharing, and designing appropriate policy measures to promote sustainable mobility. We identified potential operational improvements, government policies, and employer programs to improve shared-ride services and encourage their use, such as reducing uncertainty in shared rides and minimizing inconvenience for passengers. A critical finding was the need to prioritize operational improvements in shared-ride trips over solely relying on financial incentives to induce behavior change. Enhanced public awareness and education were also determined to be crucial regardless of the nature of improvements, policies, or programs that are implemented.

期刊介绍: Sustainability: Science, Practice and Policy is a refereed, open-access journal which recognizes that climate change and other socio-environmental challenges require significant transformation of existing systems of consumption and production. Complex and diverse arrays of societal factors and institutions will in coming decades need to reconfigure agro-food systems, implement renewable energy sources, and reinvent housing, modes of mobility, and lifestyles for the current century and beyond. These innovations will need to be formulated in ways that enhance global equity, reduce unequal access to resources, and enable all people on the planet to lead flourishing lives within biophysical constraints. The journal seeks to advance scientific and political perspectives and to cultivate transdisciplinary discussions involving researchers, policy makers, civic entrepreneurs, and others. The ultimate objective is to encourage the design and deployment of both local experiments and system innovations that contribute to a more sustainable future by empowering individuals and organizations and facilitating processes of social learning.
