How much does the introduction of micromobility in hilly cities improve public transportation services? A case study of Busan, Korea
Short and medium-distance traffic is a major cause of traffic congestion and greenhouse gas emissions. Recently, numerous cities have attempted to tackle these issues by introducing micromobility services. This study aims to evaluate their effectiveness in improving public transit services, considering the geographical characteristics. An algorithm for estimating the slope-dependent speed and travel time was developed and verified, complemented by the field experiments with two micromobility modes, and its efficiency was evaluated in terms of public transit accessibility and catchment areas in a hilly city, Busan, Korea. This study found that micromobility modes can save approximately 83 % and 80 % of walking time to and from the homes to the public transit nodes, respectively. Consequently, micromobility modes are a promising means of reducing walking time to and from public transit nodes and replacing short and medium-distance traffic.
期刊介绍:
Cities offers a comprehensive range of articles on all aspects of urban policy. It provides an international and interdisciplinary platform for the exchange of ideas and information between urban planners and policy makers from national and local government, non-government organizations, academia and consultancy. The primary aims of the journal are to analyse and assess past and present urban development and management as a reflection of effective, ineffective and non-existent planning policies; and the promotion of the implementation of appropriate urban policies in both the developed and the developing world.
