Abstract

Conventional transit network planning relies on assumptions about passenger behaviors that are becoming challenging to predict due to the growing popularity of smart mobilities, such as shared micromobility as an access mode. This has created a notable knowledge gap in multimodal transport planning, and the current study aims to address this gap by proposing a model to optimize station locations in an integrated transport approach. The study jointly optimizes the density of transit stations and micromobility docking stations, introducing a new approach to multimodal transport planning. The fixed and variable costs of the two modes, as well as the user costs, are evaluated. The findings show that an increase in the density of micromobility stations balances the reduction in transit station density as transit station costs rise. This highlights the supplementary relations between these two modes in an integrated transport network. The results also showed that travel demand increases transit station density while micromobility station density is less affected. However, micromobility station density is more sensitive to their market penetration levels. The findings provide insights for decision-makers to understand the synergies between shared mobility and public transit.
