An Analysis on Characteristics and Behaviors of Traveling by Bike-sharing

Studies of travel behaviors helps to formulate more effective policy measures for traffic construction,management,and control.Bike-sharing is developing as a new green travel mode,which facilitates travel of people.However,due to its rapid development and lack of traffic planning,there are problems occur in the developing process.Therefore,it is necessary to study the travel behavior of bike-sharing.A questionnaire survey is conducted and 621 valid data is collected.Based on the data,factors influencing people using bike-sharing are obtained,and characteristics of their travel are analyzed.A binary Logit model is developed and SPSS is used for computation.Results show that in comparison,women,young people,and people with a higher level of education are more inclined to use bike-sharing.Among these factors,the level of education is the most significant one.Besides,monthly income is removed from the variables in the model,which indicates that this factor has no significant effect on bike-sharing.
