Exploring the potential of shared e-scooters in promoting the resilience of public transportation systems in Sweden
The purpose of this project is to investigate and quantify the role of shared e-scooters in promoting the resilience of public transportation systems in a data-driven manner. Traditional survey-based methods are infeasible to evaluate the integration between shared e-scooters and public transport and measure the resilience of public transport networks at a fine spatial and temporal scale. Here, we will use the GPS-based shared e-scooters trips and General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) data to achieve the research purpose.
Our findings will provide new scientific information and knowledge to build sustainable and
resilient collective mobility through better integrating shared e-scooters with public transport.
Specific objectives of this project are to:
- Measure the resilience of public transport (PT) systems in terms of structural properties with complex network theory
- Explore the impact of layouts, routes, and schedules of PT networks and their changes on the integration between shared e-scooters and PT
- Quantify how shared e-scooterscontribut e to building resilient PT systems in terms of alleviating passenger load during peak hours and offering mobility during temporary disruptions as well as related social equity
