Dockless Electric Scooters Worldwide: Methods and Analysis
Pages 697 - 700
Abstract
Usage data on Dockless Electric Scooters (DES) is crucial for developing policies and mobility applications to support shared transportation by understanding their supply and utilization. However, such data is not publicly available and prior DES studies relied on DES providers for the provision of usage data, which is often incomplete and difficult to obtain. This limits the ability to audit these datasets and study DES usage trends globally and over time. This paper addresses these limitations by introducing scalable methods to continuously collect DES data globally without relying on providers. We collect DES usage trends from 12 providers across 11 cities worldwide and examine supply and utilization trends and provider competition in this study.
