Методика выявления перспективных зон для развития велошеринга в городском пространстве
Purpose: to present the author's methodology for locating perspective zones for bicycle sharing infrastructure development tested on the example of certain districts of the city of Moscow.
Methods: the study is based on the application content-analysis of scientific publications and legal documents on bicycle sharing, analysis of statistical data and desk research of spatial location of urban point of attraction. The authors used visual observation and the method comparative analysis to choose the optimal zone for bicycle sharing development to test the proposed method.
Results: the analysis of scientific research on the effective location points of bicycle sharing infrastructure is carried out. The research showed the need for the development of a methodology for locating perspective zones for bicycle sharing development in Moscow city. A method has been developed to identify the territories of the city that are most promising for the development of cycling infrastructure. The article offers the system of assessment of the level of development of infrastructure, which allows to perform a comparative analysis of the identified zones to make a conclusion on the prospect of development of the cycling infrastructure. Сonclusions and Relevance: the proposed methodology for locating perspective zones for bicycle sharing infrastructure includes several stages:1) identification of geographical points of attraction for bicycle-users, 2) selection of the most prospective areas containing maximum amount of point of attraction, 3) assessment of the cycling infrastructure development based on the simplified assessment system. It allows to locate perspective zones for cycling and for balancing the location organizing of the sharing infrastructure for cycling development in urban space.
