The influence of spatial configuration on e-scooter traffic flows
The theory of natural movement posits that the configuration of space is the primary determinant of movement patterns. Existing research in this domain, however, often relies on manual counting, fails to capture temporal variations in movement, and lacks evidence of transferability across locations. This study addresses these limitations by leveraging passively generated GPS data produced by the globally growing mode of e-scooters.
We model e-scooter traffic flows using GPS data of ∼80,000 trips over three months in 2021 in three areas: Salford (United Kingdom), Rochdale (United Kingdom), and Mannheim/Ludwigshafen (Germany). Spatio-temporally cross-validated spatial lag models demonstrate the high predictive power of spatial configuration-based parameters, while additional attractor parameters contribute minimally to model performance.
Our findings provide actionable insights for infrastructure planning and policy interventions, particularly for the effective planning, operation, and management of e-scooter schemes. Moreover, the results highlight that spatial configuration-based modelling methodology can be augmented with a temporal dimension, with broad potential application in transport planning.
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.
