1189 | 401 | The Influence of Vehicle Density on the Usage of Shared E-Scooters and E-Bikes. | Bhagya Shrithi Grandhi, Haitao He, Bernhard Friedrich

Shared micromobility systems are a popular and sustainable transportation option, but excess vehicle supply can lead to clutter, reduced user satisfaction, and financial losses. This study aims to analyse the influence of vehicle density on the usage of shared e-scooters and e-bikes, exploiting choice modelling and using trip and vehicle data for the analysis. In addition to the trip attributes, various definitions of vehicle density are calculated and investigated. Multinomial logit models are analysed for each Traffic Analysis Zone and tested for each vehicle density definition. Based on the best model fits, we analyse the attributes and compare their influence on service usage in different city zones. The models are first tested and analysed using data from Zurich, Switzerland, and then validated using data from Brisbane, Australia. The results from this study will help service providers and city authorities make informed decisions about the optimum number of vehicles required to be deployed in an area within a city.
