Outline of Final Research Achievements

The research created models of person flows in cities with public and shared transport systems. Different types of shared transport are explored such as feeder, shuttle and carsharing services. A main objective has been to understand how these systems compete or collaborate with public transport. We discuss in particular the role of pricing for this. An unregulated shared public transport operator would charge trips to maximise profit. The prices would then differ significantly over the city area. In particular areas with less public transport service would allow the shared transport operator to charge more. Such pricing is not likely to be perceived as fair. Overall, we suggest hence that certain regulations are required together with a good public transportation system.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は、モデリング・アプローチに貢献すると同時に、交通計画のためのいくつかの知見を導出している。モデル化に関しては、モデル都市における様々な共有交通システムや公共交通システムの需要を予測するための公式を導き出すことで、「連続的な近似アプローチ」を開発している。さらに、本研究で進められた微視的なシミュレーションのアプローチは、今後の研究においても使用されるツールになることを示唆している。日本ではインフォーマルな公共交通機関や様々な形態のシェアード交通が今後、増加する可能性があるため、本研究は、どのような運賃規制が適切であるかについて、交通計画者に方向性を示す研究となっている。
