This study aims to identify latent classes among shared e-scooter users based on their characteristics and analyze the differences in personal and usage characteristics across these classes. Specifically, the study has the following key objectives: (1) to select variables related to the personal and usage characteristics of shared e-scooter users; (2) to collect data on the personal and usage characteristics of shared e-scooter users; (3) to derive the latent classes of shared e-scooter users; and (4) to test the differences in personal and usage characteristics across the identified latent classes. Variables related to the personal and usage characteristics of shared e-scooter users were selected based on a literature review. Through a survey, data on the personal and usage characteristics of shared e-scooter users were collected. A latent class analysis (LCA) was performed to derive the latent classes of shared e-scooter users. Finally, a chi-square analysis was conducted to test the differences in personal and usage characteristics across the latent classes of shared e-scooter users. The results of this study are as follows. The personal characteristics of shared e-scooter users were identified as age and sex, whereas the usage characteristics were identified as usage frequency, time periods of e-scooter usage, return/rental zones, return/rental places, and types of roads used. Data on sex, age, usage frequency, periods of e-scooter usage, and return/rental locations were collected from 278 shared e-scooter users. Based on information criterion, statistical validation, and the entropy index, four latent classes of shared e-scooter users were identified: “male users with a commuting purpose in business zones,” “male users with a homeward commuting purpose in residential zones,” “female users with a leisure purpose in park/green zones,” and “users in their 20s with a commuting purpose in residential zones.” The results of a chisquare analysis revealed statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) in the personal and usage characteristics across the latent classes. Shared e-scooter user types were classified through Latent Class Analysis (LCA), and differences in personal and usage characteristics were identified across the classes. The preferred usage environments and conditions for each class of shared e-scooter users are determined. Variables related to the return/rental zone and periods of e-scooter usage showed the most significant differences among the classes. These findings can contribute to the development of customized user policies and the improvement of services based on the characteristics of shared e-scooter users.

보행자 대기공간의 효과척도와 서비스수준 기준은 도로용량편람(2013)에서 제시되고 있다. 보행자 대기공간은 밀집하여 대기하는 공간으로, 횡단보도 대기공간, 지하철 역사, 대합실, 매표소, 엘리베이터 내 등이 이에 해당한다(도로용량편람, 2013). 효과척도는 점유공간으로 측정되며, 이는 보행자가 차지하는 평균 면적을 의미한다. 그러나 도로용량편람(2013)의 기준은 이전 도로용량편람(2001)과 동일한 수치를 적용하고 있어 현 상황을 반영하지 못하고 있다. 이에 따라 대부분의 분석 지점에서 서비스수준이 A로 산출되는 문제가 발생한다(김응철, 2015). 본 연구의 목적은 보행자 대기공간의 서비스수준을 최신화하는 것이다. 연구 절차는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 인체치수를 활 용하여 보행자 대기공간의 점유공간 면적을 재산정하고자 한다. 둘째, 문헌조사를 통해 서비스수준 등급별 기준을 재산 정하고자 한다. 셋째, 최신화된 서비스수준과 도로용량편람(2013)의 기준을 비교하고자 한다. 마지막으로, 현장조사를 통 해 최신화된 서비스수준의 적용 사례를 제시하고자 한다. 연구 결과, 보행자 대기공간의 점유공간 면적을 재산정하고, 이를 기반으로 서비스수준 등급별 기준을 재산정하였다. 도 로용량편람(2013)의 기준과 최신화된 서비스수준 간 차이를 확인하였다. 비교 결과, 점유공간이 2배 증가한 서비스수준임 을 제시하였다. 최신화된 보행자 대기공간 서비스수준을 이용한 실제 보행환경에 관한 적용 사례를 제시하였다.

In this study, we analyze the design preferences of parking spaces for shared e-scooters. The detailed purposes are to develop the attributes and attribute levels for the design of shared e-scooter parking spaces, derive profiles by combining the attributes and attribute levels of parking space design, collect preference data on parking-space design from shared e-scooter users, and analyze the preferences for parking space design. The attributes and attribute levels for the design of shared e-scooter parking spaces were developed based on a literature review and an investigation of shared e-scooter parking spaces. Using the full profile method and orthogonal design, the profiles were derived by combining the attribute levels. Preference data for parking space profiles were collected from shared e-scooter users using survey cards to visualize the profiles. Preferences for parking-space design were analyzed using conjoint analysis. Through a literature review and case studies, three attributes: parking angle and direction, parking unit, and parking method, along with their attribute levels were developed. By combining the attributes and their levels, 16 profiles for parking spaces were created. Preference data for these parking-space profiles were collected from 278 shared e-scooter users using a 10-point Likert scale. Using conjoint analysis, the utility and importance of the attributes and attribute levels for parking space design were analyzed. A parking-space design plan that considers the preferences of shared e-scooter users was proposed. The utilities of the attribute levels for shared e-scooter parking space design were derived. Among the attribute levels, the 'compact parking unit' showed the highest utility for the parking unit, whereas 'head-in parking' had the highest utility for the parking method. For parking angle and direction, 'perpendicular parking' had the highest utility, followed by '45°, direction toward the facility’s passageway.' The importance of the attributes for shared e-scooter parking space design was also derived, with 'parking angle and direction' being the most important attribute. Finally, a parking space design plan for shared e-scooters was proposed using visualized survey cards.

PURPOSES : This study is to analyze factors affecting improper parking behaviors in a perspective of personal mobility users. Detailed purposes are as follows. Firstly, exogenous and endogenous latent variables were set. Secondly, structural equation model were constructed. Hypothesis for the structural equation model were established. Then model’s goodness of fit was analyzed and following the result model was modified. Lastly, factors affecting improper personal mobility parking behavior was found out. METHODS : Based on the literature review, exogenous and endogenous latent variables were set. Correlation between latent variables and their observed variables was defined to build structural equation model. According to the model hypothesis was established. In order to collect data, survey was conducted on personal mobility users. Model’s goodness fit was verified and the model was modified. Lastly in order to find out the factors affecting improper personal mobility parking behavior path analysis was conducted. RESULTS : Based on literature review, based on 6 of latent variables the structural equation model was made. Survey was conducted on 341 participants who has used personal mobility at least once based on Likert 5-point scale. Out of 341 responses 22 responses considered as careless responses were removed. As a result of analysis of structural equation model, it turned out that ‘ease of transfer’ had a positive effect on improper parking of personal mobility meanwhile ‘convenience’ and ‘road condition’ had a negative effect. CONCLUSIONS : It was concluded that the proximity and accessibility to the transfer facility could be important when installing personal mobility parking lot as improper parking behavior of personal mobility users could be affected by ease of transfer to other traffic mode. Also, interval of parking lots, location and its road condition should be considered in order to make it convenient for users to find parking lot and to encourage them to use it more often.

PURPOSES : This study is to analyze preference of shared personal mobility(shared e-scooter or shared bike) parking lot. The detailed purposes are as follows. Firstly, the attributes and attribute levels of shared personal mobility are developed. Based on combined attributes and attribute levels several profiles were composed. Preference data of shared personal mobility parking lot is collected through survey. Preference of shared personal mobility parking lot was analyzed using conjoint analysis. METHODS : Based on the literature review, the attributes and attribute levels that might affect behavior or intention of shared personal mobility parking were developed. Several profiles that contain combined attributes and attribute levels were created in a fractional factorial design. In order to collect preference data of shared personal mobility parking lot, online survey were proceeded. The survey participants were asked to mark preference point between point 1 and point 10. Lastly, preference of shared personal mobility parking lot was analyzed using conjoint analysis. RESULTS : Based on literature review, 5 attributes for conjoint analysis were set.(Distance between shared personal mobility parking lot and destination, Space for shared personal mobility parking lot, Location of shared personal mobility parking lot, Type of shared personal mobility parking lot, Interval of shared personal mobility parking lot). With the combination of 5 attributes and their levels, 16 random profiles were made. Online survey was proceeded with 300 participants who have used shared personal mobility. Using conjoint analysis utility and importance of each attribute has been calculated. As a result, the preference got higher when distance between parking lot and destination and intervals of parking lots are short. In addition racks are tended to be preferred and it seems to be more profer to install parking lot on buffer zone of pedestrian road instead of adjacent to private building. CONCLUSIONS : It could be important to install personal mobility parking lot considering preference of parking lot attributes in order to encourage users to use the proper parking lot instead of parking anywhere.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of self-luminescent road markings using driving simulation. METHODS : In this study, a driving simulation was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of self-luminescent road markings. The details of this study are as follows. Highway sections were categorized as tunnels, tunnel approaches, bridges, merging areas, mainlines, and curbs. The luminance of the existing road markings was collected through field measurements. The luminance of the self-luminescent road markings was collected through experimental measurements. The luminance of the road markings is converted into a brightness ratio to be applied to the driving simulation. Road facilities at night were visualized during the driving simulation. Driving simulation was tested by 30 participants. Each participant rated the visibility perception of both the road markings ahead of 90 m with a 5-point scale. The log data generated from the driving simulation tests were analyzed. RESULTS : The luminance of the existing road markings and self-luminescent road markings was measured. The luminance of the existing and lab-based road markings was converted into a brightness ratio. The road facilities of highway sections were investigated for driving simulations. The driving simulation was tested by 30 participants. Visibility perception ratings and log data from the driving simulation were analyzed. The average of visibility point increased from 1.01 to 4.63 when self-luminescent road markings were added to the existing road markings. The average speed also increased when self-luminescent road markings were added to existing road markings. CONCLUSIONS : In conclusion, self-luminescent road markings can improve the visibility of road markings and driving speed, particularly in highway sections where driving speed decreases owing to low visibility.
