“…Studies on cycling and micromobility (refer to [123][124][125] for micromobility studies in Austria, San Francisco, California, and Austin, Texas respectively) modes are rapidly increasing. This is attributed to the marketing campaigns of SFN apps and the proliferation of share schemes, where vehicles are tracked and monitored by service providers for management and operational benefits.…”

Active travel (AT) has the potential to integrate with, or in some cases substitute for, trips taken by motorized transportation. In this paper we review relevant research on AT outcomes to address the potential of AT and emerging data sources in supporting the transport paradigm shift toward AT. Our analysis identifies physical, mental, built and physical environmental, monetary, and societal outcomes. Traditional methods used to acquire AT data can be divided into manual methods that require substantial user input and automated methods that can be employed for a lengthier period and are more resilient to inclement weather. Due to the proliferation of information and communication technology, emerging data sources are prevailing and can be grouped into social fitness networks, in-house developed apps, participatory mapping, imagery, bike sharing systems, social media, and other types. We assess the emerging data sources in terms of their applications and potential limitations. Furthermore, we identify developing policies and interventions, the potential of imagery, focusing on non-cycling modes and addressing data biases. Finally, we discuss the challenges of data ownership within emerging AT data and the corresponding directions for future work.

“…Their results show that people use e-scooter services mainly in the centre of the city and in areas with bicycle infrastructures. Moran et al [10] examined the geographical position of e-scooter service areas with the aim of determining the spatial variance of e-scooter positioning. The results show that operators restrict e-scooters to high-density neighbourhoods.…”

“…Despite its great potential, the use and regulation of micromobility varies a lot between different parts of the world with a multitude of different operators performing the service in the same cities [10]. E-scooters have been a reality in the cities of the United States for several years [1].…”

Planning Suitable Transport Networks for E-Scooters to Foster Micromobility Spreading

et al. 2021

Micromobility has a high potential to change mobility habits towards the use of sustainable transport modes. The shared mobility paradigm encourages the development of new mobility services, such as bike and e-scooter sharing, potentially reducing the need of car ownership, enlarging the accessibility of public transport and enriching the transport options needed to exploit Mobility as a Service solutions. While bike-sharing services have been used in urban areas for many years, shared e-scooter services (and private e-scooters) have been spreading only in the last few years. Due to the novelty of this mode, few attempts have been made for proper micromobility network planning. This paper proposes a multicriteria GIS-based analysis aimed at planning priority networks for e-scooters, focusing on safety, transport and land use characteristics. The case study is Catania, a medium-sized city in southern Italy, which suffers from a lack of adequate infrastructures for such sustainable modes of transport. By applying the methodology, it is possible to prioritise the road network elements that better fit the needs of e-scooters, thus paving the way for suitable infrastructures and network planning.

“…For bigger buildings, park and ride, kiss and ride, and bicycle amenities are also considered multimodal options (Queensland Government, 2015;Lang, 2017). In addition to multimodal solutions, a different scale of mobility called micro-mobility creates transportation possibilities that include bike-sharing, carsharing, scooter sharing, and e-bike sharing (Lazarus et al, 2020;Moran, Laa and Emberger, 2020;Shaheen et al, 2020). By doing so, pedestrians have increased accessibility in dense urban settings in a fast and efficient way.…”

Transportation planning and design had been a major concern from the urban planning perspective. Various means of transportation have shaped our cities and landscapes for ages and by looking at transportation buildings from an architectural perspective one can see that existing studies focus on the building performance of the transportation buildings or the history of them. Consequently, transportation building design is an important concern that should be addressed from multiple perspectives. Starting from 2019-2020 Fall Semester, Abdullah Gül University Department of Architecture started a new elective course ARCD 110 Transit Architecture, focusing on this issue. While the main intention of the course is to develop a critical view on the existing prescriptive design methods related to the transportation buildings and their environment, students are expected challenge these discussions at their final projects. In order to develop a critical view on the existing design methods, a considerable part of the class focuses on the design guidelines and typologies of the buildings along with the history of the selected building types. In parallel, student presentations showing different examples throughout the world to inspect different design approaches as well as to start debates regarding various debates around design, global world, awards in architecture, and symbolism in architecture. Afterwards, the class turns into a discussion environment focusing on design issues not only related to transportation buildings but also to the rest of the design environment which they might encounter in the future. these discussions start from multimodal and micro mobile transportation possibilities followed by the personal space as a design parameter. These arguments are followed by sustainability from triple bottom line perspective and the possibilities of different technologies and their effect on the transportation related buildings. Meanwhile, they also experiment with simulation tools to test their design cases in different conditions. After the discussions and the debates students are tasked to design a subway station in front of their campus for a final project. After four semesters, this paper will present the aim of the course, the class structure, projects and the findings of the course with selected examples from the course students to its readers.
