Understanding the intention to use bike-sharing system: A case study in Xi'an, China.

ABSTRACT: Bike-sharing is widely recognized as an eco-friendly mode of transportation and seen as one of the solutions to the problem of air pollution and congestion. With the emphasis on sustainability in transportation, bike-sharing systems is an emerging topic of urban transport and sustainable mobility related research. Existing studies mainly explored the factors affecting individuals' initial intentions to start using a shared bicycle, but few looked at the likelihood that a user would continue using one This study proposed a structural equation model with bike-sharing purchase decision involvement as independent variable, bike-sharing willingness to use as dependent variable, traveler participation and traveler perceived value as intermediary variables by introducing the concepts of purchase decision involvement, customer participation and perceived value in consumer psychology and behavior. A survey on bike-sharing users in Xi'an was conducted online and offline, and 622 effective responses were collected. The research model was tested by Amos 24.0 and the empirical results showed that All influencing factors including bike-sharing's purchase decision-making involvement, traveler participation and traveler's perceived value are found to be significantly and positively associated with usage intention; traveler perceived value play a chain-mediating role between bike-sharing purchase decision involvement and usage intention; bike-sharing purchase decision involvement have indirect effects on traveler perceived value through traveler participation. The results of this study enrich the current research's in the field of sharing economy, and it is certain guiding significant for how to obtain and maintain stable customers in bicycle-sharing industry.

Project description:Selecting an appropriate intensity of epidemic prevention and control measures is of vital significance to promoting the two-way dynamic coordination of epidemic prevention and control and economic development. In order to balance epidemic control and economic development and suggest scientific and reasonable traffic control measures, this paper proposes a SEIQR model considering population migration and the propagation characteristics of the exposed and the asymptomatic, based on the data of COVID-19 cases, Baidu Migration, and the tourist economy. Further, the factor traffic control intensity is included in the model. After determining the functional relationship between the control intensity and the number of tourists and the cumulative number of confirmed cases, the NSGA-II algorithm is employed to perform multi-objective optimization with consideration of the requirements for epidemic prevention and control and for economic development to get an appropriate traffic control intensity and suggest scientific traffic control measures. With Xi'an City as an example. The results show that the Pearson correlation coefficient between the predicted data of this improved model and the actual data is 0.996, the R-square in the regression analysis is 0.993, with a significance level of below 0.001, suggesting that the predicted data of the model are more accurate. With the continuous rise of traffic control intensity in different simulation scenarios, the cumulative number of cases decreases by a significant amplitude. While balancing the requirements for epidemic prevention and control and for tourist economy development, the model works out the control intensity to be 0.68, under which some traffic control measures are suggested. The model presented in this paper can be used to analyze the impacts of different traffic control intensities on epidemic transmission. The research results in this paper reveal the traffic control measures balancing the requirements for epidemic prevention and control and for economic development.
