Abstract

This study explores the location of bicycle stations and the use of a community cycle system (CCS) in Nagoya city, Japan, based on survey data collected through a social experiment using 300 bicycles and 30 bicycle stations. The service area was located within the central area of Nagoya and covered 1.5 km from north to south and 2.5 km from east to west. A rental frequency model was developed using data of actual demand as well as latent or unsatisfied demand when all bicycles were rented out. The results suggested that greater activity in the central city area could be expected because of the induced travel for shopping or sightseeing. Travel behaviour changes were observed with competition between CCSs and public transit in areas with high levels of public transit service. The model results suggest that the number of trips around a station and the distance between transit stations and CCS stations are important factors in planning station locations. The calculated latent demand is about 2.8% of the explicit demand, suggesting that latent demand needs to be considered when actual data from CCSs are analysed.
