Abstract: Round-trip carsharing services, particularly when integrated with other transport options, have been proven to represent a viable means to mitigate the negative impacts of individual motorized traffic in dense urban areas. An increasing number of cities, therefore, aim to integrate carsharing with local public transport as an additional mobility option which promotes sustainable transport patterns. However, selecting appropriate sites for carsharing pods remains a difficult task for decision-makers since both integration with public transport as well as maximization of coverage of potential customers/market share have to be achieved. In this context, we present a GIS-based site-selection model that includes criteria from both the demand and the supply sides at the local level. On the demand side, the spatial distribution of demand is addressed by incorporating the spatial accessibility of local amenities and transport options, as well as socio-demographic and behavioural criteria. On the supply side, the key aspect is the integration of carsharing pods with public transport. Potential sites were assessed at the level of individual buildings, based on their proximity to public transport infrastructure, their centrality, and the residential locations of regular public transport users. Keywords: carsharing, site selection, suitability modelling Published Online: 2016/06/29 09:28:19 Object Identifier: 0xc1aa5576 0x0033ffa9 Rights:https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/
GI_Forum publishes high quality original research across the transdisciplinary field of Geographic Information Science (GIScience). The journal provides a platform for dialogue among GI-Scientists and educators, technologists and critical thinkers in an ongoing effort to advance the field and ultimately contribute to the creation of an informed GISociety. Submissions concentrate on innovation in education, science, methodology and technologies in the spatial domain and their role towards a more just, ethical and sustainable science and society. GI_Forum implements the policy of open access publication after a double-blind peer review process through a highly international team of seasoned scientists for quality assurance. Special emphasis is put on actively supporting young scientists through formative reviews of their submissions. Only English language contributions are published.
