Spatial associations of dockless shared e-scooter usage. [PDF]

Transp Res D Transp Environ, 2020
In this study, we explore the usage of e-scooter sharing services in Austin, Texas over about a six-month period. The study is based on trip records of all the shared e-scooter operators in Austin and includes trip start and end locations. We use both analysis of trip patterns and spatial regression techniques to examine how the built environment, land

Modeling the Demand for Shared E-Scooter Services. [PDF]

Transp Res Rec, 2022
This paper presents the findings on modeling the demand for shared e-scooter services (SES); specifically, spatio-temporal variation of SES demand. A zero-inflated negative binomial (ZINB) model is developed using the count data of trip origins at the dissemination area level from Kelowna, Canada.

Price and competition in emerging shared e-scooter markets

Research in Transportation Economics, 2023
The rapid deployment of shared dockless electric scooters (e-scooters) has resulted in attention from the public and regulators. Recurring issues include fleet size and the number of operators in the market. In this paper we study market development in two Norwegian cities and discuss how these experiences point towards future e-scooter regulation and ...
