Shared Micromobility Usage Patterns in Lisbon Spatiotemporal analysis of shared micromobility services in Lisbon
| Resumo: | Sustainable urban mobility is an imperative concern in contemporary cities, and shared micromobility systems, such as docked bike-sharing, dockless bike-sharing and dockless e-scooter sharing are recognized as essential contributors to sustainability in cities, complementing and enhancing public transport options. Most of the literature, predominantly focuses on individual assessments of these systems, overlooking the comparative analysis necessary for a comprehensive understanding. This research aims to bridge this gap by conducting a spatiotemporal analysis of two different shared micromobility modes of transportation, docked bike-sharing system and dockless e-scooter sharing system that operates in the municipality of the city of Lisbon. The analysis is further segmented into arrivals and departures on weekdays and weekends. Additionally, this research explores the impact of sociodemographic factors, population commuting modes, and points of interest (POIs) on the demand for both docked bike-sharing and dockless e-scooter sharing. Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression (MGWR) models are employed to estimate the influence of these factors on system usage within different parishes in Lisbon. Comparative analysis reveals that the temporal distribution of trips is similar for both docked bike-sharing and dockless e-scooter sharing systems on weekdays and weekends. However, differences in spatial distribution between the two systems were observed. The MGWR results indicate that the number of individuals commuting by bike in each parish has a positive effect on docked bike sharing, while it exerts a negative influence on dockless e-scooter sharing. Also, the number of commercial points of interest (POIs) for weekday arrivals positively affects the usage of both systems. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of shared micromobility patterns in urban environments and can aid the city in developing effective strategies that not only promote and increase the utilization of these shared micromobility systems but also contribute to sustainable urban mobility. |
