Factors Affecting the Integration of Micromobility into Smart Cities and Effects on Urban Transport

Abstract

In the transport of the future, the development of smart cities and the use of micromobility vehicles play an important role in terms of sustainability and efficiency. Micromobility vehicles such as electric scooters, bicycles and e-mopeds provide environmental, economic and social benefits by offering an important alternative in urban transport. However, many factors need to be considered for the successful integration of these vehicles. The aim of this paper is to analyse the main factors affecting the integration of micromobility vehicles into urban transport systems. In this paper, 9 sub-criteria under 6 main criteria affecting the integration of micromobility vehicles are considered and the relationships between these criteria are analysed by DEMATEL method. As a result of the analysis, the importance ranking of the criteria related to micromobility vehicles is determined as follows: roads reserved for micromobility vehicles, integration of micromobility vehicles with public transport, accidents, legislation deficiencies, lighting and signing, accessibility to micromobility vehicles, digital literacy level, effects of micromobility vehicles on environmental sustainability and fuel cost. The study makes an important contribution towards better understanding the impacts of micromobility vehicles on urban transport and identifying important factors to be considered in the integration process.
