A methodology to determine suitable locations for regional shared mobility hubs

• Shared mobility hubs are being implemented all over Europe. We propose a typology of shared hubs. apply multi criteria decision analysis (MCDA) to the location regional The MCDA is applied case study Rotterdam region. As solution high greenhouse gas emissions and declining quality life caused by private vehicles, hub introduced. place where multiple modalities come together, including public transport mobility. relatively new solution, limited research available on topic, especially finding potentially suitable locations for allocating them. In this research, knowledge gap addressed developing testing generic methodology determine specific type: hub. located outside city center able act as an intermodal point transfer. developed combination two existing methods: GIS Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) Multi-Actor (MAMCA) in literature. method score weight different which suitability, taking end-user (traveler), operator, government perspectives into account weighting. Results presented heat maps based scenarios with varying stakeholder importance. consists five that measure suitability (potential demand at certain location, implementation costs, generalized travel costs from hub, link surroundings, societal impact) measured nine attributes. method, choice made Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) weights. region (The Netherlands) analyse if produces useful results policy implementation. From analyses, it appears tackling determination problem, intuitive results.
