Abstract:
Shared e-scooters have emerged as a popular mode of micro-mobility in urban areas, while their widespread adoption has also led to regulatory challenges, particularly concerning improper parking. Several governments and local authorities have established parking regulations to tackle the challenges. However, less is known about their effects on shared e-scooter usage patterns. This paper explores how shared e-scooter usage changed before and after the enforcement of parking regulations from statistical, spatial, and temporal perspectives by conducting a case study in Stockholm, Sweden. The results indicate that the parking regulations have a significant influence on shared e-scooter usage in terms of trip frequency, service area, and usage efficiency. This research is beneficial for urban planners and policy-makers to develop evidence-based parking regulations and practices for regulating shared micro-mobility.
