Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this research is to compare the results of the face-to-face and virtual modes for mixed data surveys in the case study of the implementation of a Public Bicycle System (PBS) in Villavicencio, according to a revised methodology in other regions of the world such as the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia. Methods/Analysis: The methodology in this investigation is composed of Preliminary investigation; Processing of primary information and comparison with case studies; Analysis of supply and demand of the PBS; finally comparative analysis of survey methodology for characterization of users of a PBS. Findings: Authors find that According to the review of modes for conducting surveys (e-mail, postal mail and telephone call) used in three regions of the world, the most used is the virtual one. Therefore, it is recommended that, if this method is chosen, it will be supported with face-to-face surveys for these populations to disseminate the survey for more than a month and motivate them with some compensation. In addition, it is established that the people most willing to use the PBS are those who are currently mobilized in non-motorized ways. Application/ Improvements: It is important to know that each PBS must correspond to a specific analysis of the region where it is implemented. That it corresponds to a mixed data survey to have a complete characterization of the sample of the surveyed population and of the possible users of the Public Bicycle System. Keywords: Face-to-Face Survey, Origin-Destination Studies, Public Bicycles, Virtual Survey
Highlights
A system of public or shared bicycles is based on the loan or temporary rental of this type of vehicle
When it comes to public bicycles and using them, the data collected is essential for planners, advocates, public health officials, marketing teams and others as they implement public bicycle systems or promote bicycle infrastructure; design policies and programs; and the potential users of the bicycle[13]
For Public Bicycle System (PBS) surveys before implementation, it is suggested that the Survey include questions of declared and revealed preference, that is, that it corresponds to a mixed data Survey to have a complete characterization of the sample of the surveyed population and of the possible users of the public bicycle system
Summary
A system of public or shared bicycles is based on the loan or temporary rental of this type of vehicle It aims to promote its urban use in short trips (usually around 30 minutes), between previously registered persons and identified. In Colombia there is a successful case with planned operation continuity for 2030 called Encicla[4], which is the Public Bicycle System (PBS) of the Aburra Valley in Antioquia. Other systems as such implemented are in the cities of Manizales[5,6], Popayán and Bogotá, where there has not been such a satisfactory operation or where it has had low coverage. It is important to establish that each PBS must correspond to a specific analysis of the region where it is to be implemented, taking into account the social environment, the financial resource, the route needs of the users and the continuity of the administration of the system
