Promoting considerate parking behavior in dockless bike-sharing: An experimental study

Land Consumption of Delivery Robots and Bicycle Couriers for On-Demand Meal Delivery Using GPS Data and Simulations Based on the Time-Area Concept

“…The inconsiderate parking of shared dockless bicycles and scooters is one of the biggest problems caused by micromobility [13] in cities. They impede pedestrian and wheelchair travel [12], are a tripping hazard [12], block bus stops [14], and park on tactile guidance systems [15] and footpaths [15]. Cities were suddenly faced with the challenge of removing illegally parked or abandoned shared bicycles and scooters, which caused additional costs [15].…”

“…In recent years, policymakers have started to regulate these new forms of mobility. For example, some cities banned dockless bike-sharing systems [14,17], some cities started regulating free-floating bike sharing [15] (e.g., Vienna, Singapore, Tianjin, China, Melbourne, Amsterdam, and Seattle) and implemented parking infrastructures such as geo-fences, electric fences, and corrals [13]. Early research shows that parking violations are rare in streets with these types of parking facilities [12].…”

The spatial-temporal evolution of public bike-sharing systems in China: The disruption of dockless bike-sharing emergence

“…From the case of the operation of PBS in Nanjing, we concluded that the reasonable allocation of docking stations can improve the competitiveness of PBSs under the DBSs disruption, which could be explained by two findings from the previous studies: (1) the number of PBSs stations and the scope services of PBSs are smaller than that of DBSs because PBSs require a lot of funds for their construction and maintenance (Gu et al, 2019b); and (2) the popularity of DBSs brings the issue of parking, which blocks public space and hinders the flow of users (Chen et al, 2020a; Su et al, 2020), thereby reducing the operational efficiency of PBSs. Regarding the docking station allocations, bike redistribution is critical to customer satisfaction and is an essential strategy to promote public transport integration (Zhang et al, 2014).…”

Spatial-temporal heterogeneity and built environment nonlinearity in inconsiderate parking of dockless bike-sharing

“…Gao et al (2021) employed a stated preference survey with 453 respondents and showed that monetary rewards and fines, as positive and negative incentives, motivated people to park their shared bikes in areas near their destinations where parking was not saturated. Su et al (2020) found that warning messages and rewards encouraged regulated parking through random field experiments. Wang et al (2021a) used questionnaires and demonstrated that social norms influenced users' orderly parking via personal norms.…”

“…Previous studies on DBS have focused on riding characteristics rather than parking characteristics (Wu et al, 2021;Wang et al, 2022), and there is a lack of understanding of the characteristics and patterns of inconsiderate parking. In terms of the analysis of factors that influence inconsiderate parking, the literature mainly explores the influence of socioeconomic attributes, psychological characteristics, and external incentives of DBS users on inconsiderate parking using a stated preference (SP) experimental approach (Gao et al, 2021b;Su et al, 2020;Wang et al, 2021a;Gao et al, 2021a). There is a lack of evidence, based on big data, on the impact of the external environment on inconsiderate parking.…”
