Abstract

Not only in geography is motorcycle transport still a very under-researched phenomenon. Although there has been a recent growth in academic interest in motorcycle transport, there are still some key questions that remain unanswered. Empirical studies analysing motorcycle transport are surprisingly also based mainly on observations in the Global South, with very little research in the economically developed countries of the Global North. This paper aims to examine the spatial patterns of motorcycle transport in the Czech Republic. For the analysis, we use official data on average motorcycle intensities on the road network (i), and unofficial data crowdsourced from individual GPS navigations and social networks (ii). We found major inconsistencies between the two data sources. The paper’s main contribution is to demonstrate the great potential of crowdsourced data to identify important aspects of the spatial organisation of motorcycle traffic. Based on these data, we found substantial differences in the intensity of motorcycle traffic on the road network (different use of individual categories of communications according to both types of data), the popularity of individual motorcycle routes (higher popularity of scenic roads in GPS data), and the different lengths of individual trips during weekdays and weekends.

旅程也可以是目的地:基于官方和众包数据探索捷克共和国摩托车交通的空间模式
不仅在地理方面,对摩托车运输现象的研究仍然非常不足。尽管近来学术界对摩托车交通的兴趣有所增长,但仍有一些关键问题尚未得到解答。令人惊讶的是,分析摩托车交通的实证研究也主要基于对全球南部地区的观察,而对全球北部经济发达国家的研究则非常少。本文旨在研究捷克共和国摩托车交通的空间模式。在分析中,我们使用了道路网络中摩托车平均强度的官方数据(i),以及从个人 GPS 导航和社交网络中获取的非官方数据(ii)。我们发现这两个数据源之间存在很大的不一致。本文的主要贡献在于展示了众包数据在识别摩托车交通空间组织的重要方面的巨大潜力。在这些数据的基础上,我们发现了道路网络中摩托车交通强度的巨大差异(根据两种类型的数据,单个通信类别的使用情况不同)、单个摩托车路线的受欢迎程度(GPS 数据中风景优美的道路受欢迎程度更高)以及工作日和周末单个行程的不同长度。
