Publication: Resilience and Sustainable Transportation Systems
ABSTRACT
Bicycle is a healthy and environmentally friendly transportation mode, which is favored by many people. Bike share developed very fast in the past years, especially in some big cities. This paper collected the public bicycle card data of January, April, and July 2015 in the public bicycle station along the BRT in Guangzhou, and conducted a SP survey on the public bicycle travel choices of residents around the BRT. Firstly, according to the operational data, the monthly distribution, daily distribution, and time distribution characteristics of public bicycles are discussed. Secondly, according to the SP survey data, the sensitivity of residents' acceptable riding time, acceptable travel fare, acceptable worst riding conditions, acceptable congestion level, and price concessions for public bicycle travel are analyzed. Thirdly, based on the SP survey data, a logistic regression model was established to analyze the eight potential factors that may affect the behavior of public bicycle travel. The results show that monthly income and membership discount have no significant impact on the choice of bicycle travel. Age, owing a car, discount on public bicycle transfer with public transportation, public bicycle business has a significant impact on public bicycle travel options. Finally, some key points of establishing a public bicycle system near the BRT corridor are discussed. The research results can provide decision-making basis for the subsequent optimization of the public bicycle network layout and the attraction of public bicycles.
