Urban transportation has changed dramatically in the recent years through the large scale implementation of shared micro-mobility services, especially bike sharing systems (BSS) and electric scooter sharing (ESS). The COVID-19 pandemic brought further changes and uncertainty to this turbulent...

Flow, a state of mind that occurs when persons are deeply immersed in an activity, plays an important role in enhancing the tourist experience through a variety of activities. Historically, flow is explored from the perspective of how tourists' experience the state, while little attention has...

This paper analyses the effects of new bike lanes on traffic volume, congestion, and accidents. In order to obtain causal estimates, I exploit the quasi-random timing and location of newly built cycle lanes. Crucially, the new cycling infrastructure replaces existing car lanes thereby reducing...

In the last years, sustainable travels have included bike tourists visiting cities to enjoy cultural and urban environments. Yet, when considering cycling tourists' intra-destination trips by motorized vehicles, the extent of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions could reduce the sustainability of...

In an effort to fight climate change, many cities try to boost their cycling levels. They often look towards the Dutch for guidance. However, historians have only begun to uncover how and why the Netherlands became the premier cycling country of the world. Why were Dutch cyclists so successful...

Zahlreiche Untersuchungen zeigen, dass sichere Infrastruktur für Radfahrende geschaffen werden muss, um den Radverkehrsanteil zu steigern und den Kfz-Verkehrsanteil zu reduzieren. Die wissenschaftliche Grundlage dafür, was als sichere Infrastruktur angesehen wird, ist allerdings nur bedingt...

This paper analyzes a bike-sharing service from both network efficiency and demand profiles perspectives. Specifically, it focuses on the BIZI service in the city of Zaragoza (Spain), which was launched in May 2008 with the aim of increasing the use of the bicycle in the city. Since then, the...

This paper examines how 37 US cities regulate scooter parking. It analyses rates of improper scooter parking and discusses how cities can employ scooter regulations, in conjunction with other policies, to realise broader goals such as promoting sustainability and mobility.

This report explores how traffic systems and infrastructure can be redesigned and expanded for a broader range of vehicle types, especially "smaller-than-car" or light mobility options. It identifies the potential benefits of making vehicles lighter and diversifying the range of vehicles used...

Der Beitrag zeigt wesentliche Phasen der Stadt- und Verkehrsentwicklung im östlichen Ruhrgebiet und dem Oberzentrum Dortmund seit dem Beginn der Industrialisierung auf. Der Fokus liegt auf der neueren Entwicklung hin zu einer nachhaltigen, auf die Verkehrsmittel des Umweltverbundes...

As more people move back into densely populated cities, bike sharing is emerging as an important mode of urban mobility. In a typical bike sharing system, riders arrive at a station and take a bike if it is available. After retrieving a bike, they ride it for a while, then return it to a station...

Bike-sharing systems are exploding in cities around the world as more people are adopting sustainable transportation solutions for their everyday commutes. However, as more people use the system, riders often encounter that bikes or docks might not be available when they arrive to a station. As...

Bike Buying System is an appearing approach of the transport in the global. Industries are trying to structure a bike share system. Previously they botched to use data analytics genuinely. That forecast the utilize such system that will be kind for the customers to plan their journey. There may...

We address the operational management of station-based bike sharing systems (BSSs). In BSSs, users can spontaneously rent and return bikes at any stations in the system. Demand is driven by commuter, shopping, and leisure activities. This demand constitutes a regular pattern of bike usage over...

Die Bedeutung des Radverkehrs in Städten nimmt stetig zu und dieser Trend wird sich aller Voraussicht nach auch auf absehbare Zeit fortsetzen. Dabei stellt sich aus Sicht der Planenden in Deutschland die Frage, ob das System hierzulande für die Verkehrswende geeignet ist. Können wir mit den...

The cities of Paris, London, Chicago, and New York (among many others) have set up bike-share systems to facilitate the use of bicycles for urban commuting. This paper estimates the impact of two facets of system performance on bike-share ridership: accessibility (how far the user must walk to...

Dockless bike sharing provides a convenient, affordable, and sustainable mode of transport for urban citizens. It acts as a reliable complement to public transit systems by reducing the cost of last-mile commuting and increasing the attractiveness of public transport services. Thus, dockless...

This paper presents a policy framework intended to maximize the benefits of dockless bike share through outcome-oriented system planning that includes monitoring and enforcement of regulations. Operational shortfalls of dockless bike share are categorised and several policy options for each...

This paper reviews the economic case for regulating ride-hailing and dockless bikeshare. Ride-hailing has disrupted heavily regulated taxi markets and is calling much of the rationale for taxi regulation into question. It argues for light-handed regulation to enable fair, nondistorting...

This paper presents fatality rates for walking and cycling in European Countries used in the World Health Organization's Health Economic Assessment Tool (HEAT). It evaluates and ranks the quality of data sources and gives fatality rates adjusted by exposure (i.e. distance travelled). It also...

This report reviews the effectiveness of light separation as an alternative to more permanent infrastructure to protect cycle lanes. With more cyclists on the roads than ever, it is important to consider infrastructure options that safeguard cyclists and other road users whilst being cost...

This paper reviews available research on the safety impacts associated with the growth in bike share use. In the last 20 years the global fleet of dock-based and dockless bike share systems has grown to well over 4 500 000; making bike share one of the fastest growing modes of transport. This rapid...
