Electric Scooters' Trip Data Collection and Analysis
Description
Electric scooters or e-scooters are a transport mode that has increased rapidly but with mixed reactions. In this paper, we present aggregated usage data and some basic analysis from four European cities: Berlin Madrid, Paris and Stockholm. We have analyzed the utilization rate, trip duration and straight-line distance, and where and when they are used in the observed cities. The maximum utilization rate is between 2 and 4% with a declining trend towards winter. Not surprisingly, the scooters are used for short trips mainly in the afternoon and evenings, and mostly on Fridays and Saturdays. However, we do observe variations between the cities. Stockholm, e.g., has a morning peak absent in the other three cities.
