“…The information most commonly being visualized is the CO2 emissions caused by the users' trips ( [6][7][8][9][10][11]). Certain approaches provide visualizations of the cost and burned calories ( [8,10,12]) calculated from users' mobility patterns. The assumption is that when one switches to more environmentally friendly and active transport modes (e.g., from car to public transport or bicycle) the cost of mobility is reduced, and users burn more calories.…”

“…These concepts commonly rely on trees that grow as users adopt more sustainable habits ( [7,11]), while in [7], an additional concept of a growing iceberg was used, which provides conceptual correlations to climate change. The second form of feedback refers to charts (including bar and pie charts) presenting detailed statistics of the users' behaviour ( [8,[10][11][12]). Visual feedback is typically combined with and supports other persuasive strategies, e.g., support for goal-setting and challenges, social comparison, inclusion of gamification and rewards (playful aspects), or personalized suggestions/messages.…”

“…Rewards are commonly given to users in the form of points when they opt for sustainable transportation modes ( [11,13,14]). Persuasive messages are commonly text based, whereas in [10] an approach that combines text with images is proposed. Table 3 presents the 23 persuasive systems we identified in the domain of sustainable mobility.…”

“…The IPET platform [10] integrates functionalities for the provision of persuasive information and advice to mobile devices. More specifically, it tracks user activities, analyses them to detect the used trip mode, and infers alternative and more sustainable routes that are communicated to the user using brief persuasive messages that combine text and images in different, including comics and real-life sceneries.…”

“…In the analysed studies we identified four main alternatives: attitude, motivation, awareness and intention. Attitude change is reported two studies ( [6,10]) and the related metrics focus on measuring changes in the attractiveness of environmentally friendly transportation modes as well as in attitudes toward the environment. In [6], the authors directly ask participants to state whether the persuasive technologies have the potential to change their attitude toward public transport, while in [10], the authors use standardised questionnaires.…”

Abstract:In recent years, persuasive interventions for inducing sustainable mobility behaviours have become an active research field. This review paper systematically analyses existing approaches and prototype systems as well as field studies and describes and classifies the persuasive strategies used for changing behaviours in the domain of mobility and transport. We provide a review of 44 papers on persuasive technology for sustainable transportation aiming to (i) answer important questions regarding the effectiveness of persuasive technology for changing mobility behaviours, (ii) summarize and highlight trends in the technology design, research methods, strategies and theories, (iii) uncover limitations of existing approaches and applications, and (iv) suggest directions for future research.

Impacts of Pokémon GO on route and mode choice decisions: exploring the potential for integrating augmented reality, gamification, and social components in mobile apps to influence travel decisions

et al. 2021

This study aims to understand the impacts of Pokémon GO, a popular location-based augmented reality (AR) mobile gaming app, on route and mode choices. Pokémon GO leverages AR to introduce virtual objects at fixed and dynamic locations that translate through the app interface to incentives in the real world that potentially influence users’ route and mode choices. Its gaming nature and social components can possibly enhance long-term user engagement through applying the characteristics of game elements and providing opportunities for competition, collaboration, companionship, and social reinforcement. An online survey is conducted to collect the self-reported behavior of a group of Pokémon GO users to explore its impacts on the following aspects of travel behavior: (1) the frequency of changing the route to interact with virtual objects; (2) the likelihood of carpooling more instead of driving alone for more in-app collaboration; and (3) the likelihood of shifting mode from drive alone to public transit, walking, and cycling if provided with additional incentives. The ordered survey responses including frequency and likelihood are analyzed using random parameters ordered probit models to account for the unobserved heterogeneity across users and identify subpopulations of travelers who are more susceptible to the influence of Pokémon GO. The modeling results identify four types of variables (attitude and perceptions related to Pokémon GO, app engagement, play style, and sociodemographic characteristics) that affect users’ travel behavior. The results illustrate that such apps with integrated AR, gamification, and social components can be used by policymakers to influence various aspects of travel behavior. The study findings and insights can provide valuable feedback to system operators for designing such apps to dynamically manage traffic in real-time and promote long-term sustainable mode shifts.
