New paper: "Mode choice during transport disruptions: Socioeconomic and trip factors in shared mobility adoption in the Netherlands",

We are happy to share this new paper "Mode choice during transport disruptions: Socioeconomic and trip factors in shared mobility adoption in the Netherlands", authored by our PhD student Luiza Azolin.

This study examines the factors influencing the consideration and choice of shared modes (bike, e-bike, moped, and car), as well as how individuals trade off travel attributes (access time, waiting time, in-vehicle time, and cost) when their usual mode is unavailable. The study shows that despite disruptions inducing non-routine travel choices, individuals still perceive barriers to adopting shared modes, such as unfamiliarity, even in a mature multimodal system. 

The study advances the understanding of shared mobility’s potential to enhance transport system resilience. By incorporating an adaptive choice-set design, behavioural realism is improved. The paper is co-authored by Antonio Nelson Rodrigues da Silva, Luqi Dong, Anna Grigolon and Karst Geurs.
