Abstract

This paper proposed an innovative strategy for planning multimodal, integrated, intelligent, and sustainable mobility by applying 3-tiers mobility stations system combine with car sharing and bike sharing, which aims to promoting the accessibility with available transportation systems and enhance the intramodality and utilization of non-motorized transportation modes. Through the case study of the Fürstenfeldbruck city region in Germany, the 3-tiers mobility stations system concept and its planning criteria and indicators were proposed. And mobility service offerings and location selection of stations were analyzed by considering demand and coverage. Subsequently, evaluation methods based on the pre-defined indicators were implemented to the case study. The planning process is target-oriented and based on relevant structural data analysis.

Highlights

  • As a new and innovative strategy for planning multimodal, integrated, intelligent, and sustainable mobility, mobility stations could play an important role in cities by promoting the use of non-motorized modes, public transport, shared modes, and e-mobility[1]

  • Linking different transport services together is one of the main roles of mobility stations which promotes multiand inter-modality, they act as platforms to promote ecofriendly and technically innovative transport concepts which attract people to new mobility services such as carsharing and bike-sharing

  • Acceptance rate - defined by the prediction of Variable definition: accessible travelers’ acceptance level and willing to use Population with access (To Car) - Number of residents the E-car sharing system

Summary

Introduction

As a new and innovative strategy for planning multimodal, integrated, intelligent, and sustainable mobility, mobility stations could play an important role in cities by promoting the use of non-motorized modes (walking and cycling), public transport, shared modes (car-sharing and bike-sharing), and e-mobility[1]. By involving smartphone-based apps, mobility station services can provide real-time information and booking services in order to reduce users’ barriers of using different transport modes. As a strategy to orientate people away from using their private cars, many cities have attempted to develop mobility station projects. The Fürstenfeldbruck city in Germany is used as the target study area, and the research tries to reduce private car travel demand and promoting the efficient travel including accessibility and intermodality in the city region by providing more efficient options for mobility through alternative modes with a new mobilitystation system
