Developing a decentralized community of practice-based model for on-demand electric car-pooling towards sustainable shared mobility

Assessment of Shared Mobility Acceptability for Sustainable Transportation in Amman

“…The study's findings underscore the critical role of convenience, environmental sustainability, and cost-effectiveness as driving factors behind the adoption of shared mobility services in Amman. The statistical significance of these factors, as demonstrated through Structural Equation Modeling, echoes the sentiments found in recent studies, which highlight the importance of these elements in influencing public acceptance of shared mobility solutions [6]. Specifically, our analysis revealed that convenience in booking and payment options significantly increases the perceived utility of rideshare services among Amman's residents, with a 1-unit increase in convenience leading to a corresponding increase in rideshare usage of 1.029 units (see Figure 2).…”

“…A research team provided a comprehensive review, highlighting the multifaceted impacts of shared mobility on enhancing the sustainability of transportation systems, emphasizing the need for integrated policies and technological advancements [5]. Concurrently, another research team introduced an innovative decentralized community of practice-based models for on-demand electric car-pooling, projecting a pathway towards achieving sustainable shared mobility by leveraging communal resources and technologies [6]. Furthermore, the exploration of shared transport services' acceptability among vulnerable groups reveals critical insights into the social dimensions of shared mobility, advocating for inclusive policies that ensure broader acceptance and utilization [7].…”
