Estimation of Route Choice Behaviors of Bike-Sharing Users as First- and Last-mile Trips for Introduction of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS)

Cho, Shin-Hyung / Shin, DongHwa

Bicycling has been considered the sustainable alternatives of first- and last-mile trips for Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) in integrated transport systems. This study aims to analyze the route choice behaviors of bike-sharing users for the first- and last-mile trips in MaaS, incorporating the connectivity to the subway stations. The observed GPS data is employed to generate the route travels of bike-sharing users, and the choice set generation algorithm, i.e., the k-medoids clustering method, is applied to extract the representative alternatives in route choice models. This study analyzes the path-size logit model to compare the route choice behaviors incorporating peak periods, and access and egress trips. The bike-sharing use at the evening-peak period is more frequent than the other periods. Also, the bike-sharing users are found to be positively associated with the ratio of bike lanes for the access and egress trips to the subway stations, whereas they are reluctant to detour for their trips. The finding of this research is that the extension of bike facilities on access and egress to the subway stations is necessary to improve the bike-sharing use for the first- and last-mile trips in MaaS.
