Abstract

Electric Micromobility (EMM), e.g. e-bikes, e-scooters, light-weight electric vehicles, has a key role in policymakers’ strategies for making cities more liveable. Especially, its combination with Public Transport (PT) can be essential in the transportation sector decarbonization. This work proposes a zonal metric to evaluate EMM and PT integration, named “Level of Propensity” (LoP) to multimodality. LoP is defined adopting a multi-dimensional domain-based classification capturing two main phases of the trip: (1) the access phase by EMM towards PT stops; (2) the accessibility potential to destination by PT. PT open data, road network configuration, activities and Floating Car Data are adopted for the elaboration. LoP has been validated in the medium-size city of Salerno (Italy), but it is easily transferable to other cities. It can support urban planners and PT/EMM operators in identifying zones with low propensity to multimodality, suggesting priorities in terms of PT service improvements and EMM infrastructure implementations.
