Abstract
Dockless bike sharing (DBS) and metro integration offer innovative solutions for the first-mile and last-mile challenges of urban transportation. However, accurately identifying transfer passenger volume, analyzing DBS and metro integration characteristics, and understanding the spatial heterogeneity of factors affecting this volume remain areas to explore. This study, using Shenzhen as a case, constructs a framework to identify transfer passenger volume by considering built environment elements around metro stations and applying a Thiessen polygon. Transfer passenger volumes are classified into six categories, and their spatio-temporal characteristics are analyzed. A multiscale geographically weighted regression (MGWR) model investigates the impacts of socio-economic attributes, built environment, and transportation-related factors on transfer passenger volume, revealing spatial heterogeneity. Results show that the demand for DBS and metro integration is higher in the morning peak than in the evening peak, with access transfer passenger volume peaks occurring earlier than egress peaks. Spatially, transfer passenger volume shows heterogeneity, with higher demand in the urban core than in the suburbs. Commercial and residential and enterprises have the most significant impact on various types of transfer passenger volume, showing the highest spatial heterogeneity in enterprises. In contrast, science education and culture positively influence evening peak access transfer volume and exhibit the weakest spatial heterogeneity. Population density, sports and leisure, shopping and entertainment, and tourist attractions display localized positive or negative impacts. These findings can guide operators and planners in optimizing public transportation resources to enhance DBS and metro integration.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Sustainable Transportation provides a discussion forum for the exchange of new and innovative ideas on sustainable transportation research in the context of environmental, economical, social, and engineering aspects, as well as current and future interactions of transportation systems and other urban subsystems. The scope includes the examination of overall sustainability of any transportation system, including its infrastructure, vehicle, operation, and maintenance; the integration of social science disciplines, engineering, and information technology with transportation; the understanding of the comparative aspects of different transportation systems from a global perspective; qualitative and quantitative transportation studies; and case studies, surveys, and expository papers in an international or local context. Equal emphasis is placed on the problems of sustainable transportation that are associated with passenger and freight transportation modes in both industrialized and non-industrialized areas. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial evaluation by the Editors and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert reviewers. All peer review is single-blind. Submissions are made online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
