Research of 3-Tier Mobility Stations System with bike and car sharing— Case study of small–scale city in Germany

This paper proposed an innovative strategy for planning multimodal, integrated, intelligent, and sustainable mobility by applying 3-tiers mobility stations system combine with car sharing and bike sharing, which aims to promoting the accessibility with available transportation systems and enhance the intramodality and utilization of non-motorized transportation modes. Through the case study of the Furstenfeldbruck city region in Germany, the 3-tiers mobility stations system concept and its planning criteria and indicators were proposed. And mobility service offerings and location selection of stations were analyzed by considering demand and coverage. Subsequently, evaluation methods based on the pre-defined indicators were implemented to the case study. The planning process is target-oriented and based on relevant structural data analysis.
