Abstract

Abstract : Under the background of implementing green travel in response to the national energy conservation and emission reduction policy, the concept of shared travel as a new transportation mode has been promoted. This paper aims at providing a more scientific and quantitative method to explore the shared travel traffic mode and evaluating efficiency with data mining technology. Based on the analysis of the evaluation index system of the existing intelligent shared mobility, this paper firstly points out some issues in reflecting the operation efficiency of a specific shared mobility service. In order to find out the characteristics of passenger flow and propose recommend indicators, this study presents a detail analysis using data in Xiong'an new area from September 2020 to September 2021. Then, this paper proposes a time-series algorithm to identify ridesharing behavior of demand responsive (DR) bus and to recommend indicators on operation efficiency considering capacity, turnover, and time. Moreover, the definition of indicators and calculation of case study are carried out. Results show that the utilization rate of vehicle seat for DR bus was increased by 1.6–2.5 times, and the turnover efficiency was increased by about 2 times compared to private cars and taxi. In general, this paper quantitatively describes the improvement of operation efficiency brought by bus sharing, which shows that this kind of shared mobility has the attributes of public transport in a certain sense. Also, this paper shows that the above indicators are quantifiable and comparable, which is a useful supplement to the existing evaluation index system.
