Impact Assessments of New Mobility Services: A Critical Review

Assessing the impact of new mobility systems (e.g., shared mobility services, mobility as a service (MaaS), and Mobihubs) in urban contexts remains a challenging endeavor due to the varying priorities (social, economic, and environmental) of different stakeholders and restricted and/or limited availability of data. In a broad sense, new mobility services (NMS) can be characterized as a way of optimizing the ownership and use of a variety of mobility resources, tailored to the needs of an entire (urban) community. In this context, providing an up-to-date and critical review on the impact of NMS is the main contribution and added value of this study. To this end, this study presents an in-depth review of NMS and their diverse features (e.g., car sharing, bike sharing, Mobihubs, etc.), as an alternative to privately-owned travel modes. By reviewing more than 100 relevant sources from academic journals (Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Web of Science) and media reports, this study explains the key elements on how to address the impact assessment of NMS in terms of social, environmental, and economic aspects of sustainable mobility services. This study concludes that the implementation of NMS offers the potential to promote efficiency, sustainability, social equity, and quality of life. The main findings of this study serve as a perfect starting point for mobility providers and policymakers who are concerned about the growing demands for clean and green cities.

“…Biking has emerged as a popular active transportation mode primarily, as a result of the wide range of advantages associated with biking which include increased physical exercise, reduced vehicular emissions, improved accessibility, and reduced traffic congestions and delays (1). Cities around the world are investing in their bike infrastructure as well as the initiatives related to the promotion of biking such as bike sharing services (2). One of the recent developments in bike sharing systems is the dockless bike sharing services (DBS), which is a station-less system allowing users to pick up and drop off bikes anywhere in the city following the completion of their trips.…”

This study investigates trip-level destination choice behavior of users of the dockless bike sharing service (DBS). A random parameter latent segmentation-based logit (RPLSL) model is developed utilizing the DBS users’ trip itinerary data for Kelowna, Canada. The RPLSL model captures multi-dimensional heterogeneity such as inter-segment and intra-segment heterogeneity. The model is developed at a micro-spatial resolution which is defined as the bicycle analysis zone. One of the key features of this study is to test the interdependencies between the origin and destination of a trip using their built environment attributes. Model results suggest that segment 1 is more likely to include trips originating from the urban neighborhoods; whereas, segment 2 includes trips originating from the suburban neighborhoods. The parameter estimation results reveal that DBS trips are more likely to be destined to locations with longer length of cycle tracks, higher employment density, and that are closer to the Central Business District and bus stops (i.e., within 500 m). The model confirms multi-layer heterogeneity. For instance, trips originating from the urban areas in segment 1 are more likely to be destined to destinations within 500 m of the designated bike return sites (i.e., havens). In contrast, shorter trips originating in suburban areas in segment 2 show a negative relationship. Interestingly, a bike-friendly environment might increase the attractiveness of destinations closer to havens, even for the trips originating in suburban areas. The findings of this study will assist in developing policies and infrastructure investment decision making at the destination locations to promote DBS usage.

“…Similarly, shared cycling and pedestrian infrastructure, such as improved paths, also create benefits for pedestrians and people bringing justice between population groups. A study shows that specific infrastructure and behavioral change encourage to cycle from home to work regularly (Xu & Chow, 2020).…”

By exploiting the opinion of the society in a Mediterranean city, this paper identifies the mechanisms behind utility cycling and determines the aspects of using the bike in cities for daily commuting. This study focused on the assessment of biking as an alternative mode of transport within a typical Mediterranean city in Crete. Limited road safety is the principal reason that hinders 60% of respondents from cycling, and 41% from riding more frequently. The survey results are congruent with this statement, provided a significant difference in the ratios of actual recreational cyclists (39%) and those who like to ride for entertainment, but they hesitate (71%). In order to quantify this, the attitude of the bikers was grouped in two fact factors influencing: the clothing and the technological one. Based on the opinion of the local society, high priority policies are recommended, such as proper infrastructure, sensitization campaigns, and education programs.
