Abstract

This article presents the EBIS (e-Biking in Switzerland) study, including its methodology, the resulting dataset, and an initial descriptive analysis of the population surveyed. The EBIS study is a Switzerland-wide GPS-tracking study with the aim of investigating the scope of carbon savings in the transport sector due to e-biking. Participants consisted of cyclists and e-bikers across the French- and German-speaking regions of Switzerland. In addition to extensive GPS tracking, the study included a randomized controlled trial (RCT) on transport pricing’s role in substituting e-bike trips for car trips, a retrospective survey on mode shift, and a stated preference survey on cycling infrastructure preferences. We here report participant attrition and engagement rates and compare the EBIS population to the 2021 Swiss Mobility and Transport Microcensus (MTMC) in terms of socio-demographic characteristics and travel behavior. In doing so, we present a unique dataset of 3,940 participants, 324 thousand user-days of tracking data, and over half a million stages by bike or e-bike.

瑞士电动自行车（EBIS）研究：方法和数据集

本文介绍了EBIS（瑞士的电动自行车）研究，包括其方法、所得数据集和对调查人口的初步描述性分析。EBIS研究是一项瑞士范围内的gps跟踪研究，旨在调查电动自行车在交通部门节省碳排放的范围。参与者包括瑞士法语区和德语区的自行车手和电动自行车手。除了广泛的GPS跟踪之外，该研究还包括一项随机对照试验（RCT），研究交通定价在电动自行车出行取代汽车出行中的作用，一项关于模式转换的回顾性调查，以及一项关于自行车基础设施偏好的声明偏好调查。我们在此报告了参与者的流失率和参与率，并将EBIS人口与2021年瑞士移动和交通微观普查（MTMC）在社会人口统计学特征和旅行行为方面进行了比较。在此过程中，我们提供了一个独特的数据集，包含3940名参与者，32.4万用户日的跟踪数据，以及50多万骑自行车或电动自行车的阶段。

期刊介绍： In our first issue, published in 1972, we explained that this Journal is intended to promote the free and vigorous exchange of ideas and experience among the worldwide community actively concerned with transportation policy, planning and practice. That continues to be our mission, with a clear focus on topics concerned with research and practice in transportation policy and planning, around the world. These four words, policy and planning, research and practice are our key words. While we have a particular focus on transportation policy analysis and travel behaviour in the context of ground transportation, we willingly consider all good quality papers that are highly relevant to transportation policy, planning and practice with a clear focus on innovation, on extending the international pool of knowledge and understanding. Our interest is not only with transportation policies - and systems and services – but also with their social, economic and environmental impacts, However, papers about the application of established procedures to, or the development of plans or policies for, specific locations are unlikely to prove acceptable unless they report experience which will be of real benefit those working elsewhere. Papers concerned with the engineering, safety and operational management of transportation systems are outside our scope.
