서울시 전동킥보드 공유서비스 이용행태의 시공간적 특성 분석

Abstract

본 연구에서는 국내 최대 규모 전동킥보드 공유서비스의 실제 통행 기록 데이터를 활용하여 서울특별시 내 공유 전동킥보드 공유서비스 이용행태의 시공간적 특성을 분석하고자 한다. 구체적으로 통행 횟수뿐 아니라 통행시간, 통행 거리, 주행모드 및 할인금액 수혜율 등 전동킥보드 공유서비스를 통해발생한 실제 전동킥보드 이용행태를 요일 및 시간대, 자치구 별로 도출하고, 비교하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 더 나아가 서울특별시 내 전동킥보드의 다른 이동수단 대체 가능성을 검증하기 위해전동킥보드 통행의 출도착지점을 기준으로 다른 이동수단과의접근성 특성을 분석하고자 한다. 최종적으로 분석된 특성을 기반으로 서울특별시 내 전동킥보드 이용행태 특징을 도출하고, 향후전동킥보드 공유서비스의 지속적 운영 및 관리 등을 위한 시사점을 제시하고자 한다.

Electric scooters, as a newly emerging dockless micro-mobility option, have rapidly grown in popularity with the expansion of sharing services. Electric scooters have been established as a sustainable mode of transportation, offering various advantages that complement or substitute existing public transit systems. However, concerns regarding safety and management issues persist. While numerous studies have addressed this topic, most have focused on macroscopic factors, such as usage patterns, accidents, and the impact of illegal parking, with limited attention to detailed analyses of usage characteristics. This study aims to analyze the spatiotemporal characteristics of usage patterns for electric scooter sharing services in Seoul, a major city with high micro-mobility adoption. The findings are as follows: First, electric scooters are primarily used for shorter trips compared to other personal mobility devices and can be utilized to secure first-mile and last-mile connectivity. Second, electric scooters are heavily used not only during peak hours but also during late-night hours, with spatial variations in usage patterns. Third, differences in trip characteristics, such as trip duration, distancе, and user age, were observed across different areas aside from the frequency of sharing service usage. Fourth, older users benefitted from higher discount rates, while greater discounts were evident during late-night hours. Fifth, in Seoul, electric scooters served as a mode of transportation in areas with low public transit accessibility. These findings provide valuable insights for developing strategies to improve the management and utilization of electric scooters.
