Dock-based and Dockless Bikesharing Systems: Analysis of Equitable Access for Disadvantaged Communities
| 项目名称： | Dock-based and Dockless Bikesharing Systems: Analysis of Equitable Access for Disadvantaged Communities |
| 摘要： | Dockless bikeshare systems have the potential to replace dock-based systems since they provide greater flexibility. Many cities in the US currently regulated the maximum number of bikes a dockless system can have in use because of problems associated with managing the bicycles. Despite issues of inventory management, dockless systems offer two main advantages over dock-based ones: a lower membership fee and free-range (or, at least free-range within service areas). These two advantages may help solve existing access barriers for disadvantaged populations. However, much of the research has focused on addressing equity issues in dock-based systems, and there is limited knowledge about how dockless systems can help relieve barriers for disadvantaged populations. This project will use San Francisco as a case study. The research team will analyze the spatial distribution of bikeshare trips and trip usages for dock-based and dockless bikeshare systems, and the team will quantify the service level (e.g., bikeshare usage and bike distribution areas) for disadvantaged populations. Comparing the differences in service levels between the systems, the team will study if dockless systems are able to address equity issues. The results will also provide policy insights to local municipalities on how to properly regulate these systems in order to improve equity access. |
