Abstract

As a sustainable mode with numerous benefits, cycling offers promoting physical fitness and providing a cost-effective transport option. To promote cycling, cities worldwide are striving to increase cycling usage by improving infrastructure, and network connectivity. Understanding the magnitude of the influence of cycling infrastructure on cycling usage is vital. This paper hence aims to estimate the impact of cycling infrastructure improvement on cycling usage. To this end, a generalised spatial difference-in-differences (GS-DiD) fixed effect spatial lag model is utilised using data collected from bicycle counters in Lyon and Paris. The model allows controlling spatial and temporal unobserved heterogeneity. The results indicate that cycling infrastructure improvement has a positive and statistically significant effect on cycling usage. Additionally, the spatial coefficient was found to be negative and statistically significant, suggesting that an increase in cycling infrastructure usage in neighbouring areas leads to a decrease in infrastructure usage in the area being examined. These findings provide evidence of the positive impact of cycling infrastructure improvement on cycling usage, while also highlighting the importance of considering spatial spillover effects in the analysis.

估算改善自行车基础设施对使用率的影响:空间差异法
作为一种好处多多的可持续交通方式,骑自行车既能强身健体,又是一种经济高效的交通选择。为了推广自行车出行,世界各地的城市都在努力通过改善基础设施和网络连接来提高自行车的使用率。了解自行车基础设施对自行车使用率的影响程度至关重要。因此,本文旨在估算自行车基础设施的改善对自行车使用率的影响。为此,本文利用从里昂和巴黎自行车计数器收集到的数据,采用了广义空间差分(GS-DiD)固定效应空间滞后模型。该模型可以控制空间和时间上的非观测异质性。结果表明,自行车基础设施的改善对自行车使用率有积极的、统计上显著的影响。此外,研究还发现空间系数为负,且在统计上具有显著性,这表明邻近地区自行车基础设施使用率的提高会导致被研究地区基础设施使用率的下降。这些发现证明了自行车基础设施的改善对自行车使用率的积极影响,同时也强调了在分析中考虑空间溢出效应的重要性。

期刊介绍: A major resurgence has occurred in transport geography in the wake of political and policy changes, huge transport infrastructure projects and responses to urban traffic congestion. The Journal of Transport Geography provides a central focus for developments in this rapidly expanding sub-discipline.
