Calculation of environmental benefits of shared bicycles based on the identification of coopetition in travel modes
To calculate the environmental benefits of shared bicycles participating in the"first mile"and"last mile"subway travel,the shared bicycle order data and latitude and longitude data of subway station are applied in this article.The size of the circular buffer zone is determined based on the probability density function of the distance between the starting and ending points of shared bicycle travel and the nearest subway station.The coopetition between the two is identified and characterized as competition,connection,and complementarity.A bottom-up transportation carbon emission method is used to explore the environmental benefits of shared bicycles.The case study of Hellobike in Kunming shows that in the coopetition between shared bicycles and subways,the connecting travel between shared bicycles and subways takes the highest proportion in coopetition,accounting for about 61.54％,followed by complementary travel,accounting for about 34.5％,and competitive travel takes the lowest proportion,accounting for about 3.96％.The environmental benefits generated by the coopetition between shared bicycles and subways on weekdays are greater than those on non-weekdays.The daily carbon dioxide reduction generated by shared bicycles on weekdays is 3014.749 kilograms,while that on the non-weekdays is 1312.320 kilograms.Among them,the environmental benefits generated by connected travel are larger than that generated by complementary travel,followed by that generated by competitive travel.
