Abstract:
The present study evaluates the improvement of the autonomy in the transport situation as a result of the implementation of car sharing services in university area. The main indicator for the autonomy in the present study is the accessibility index showed as Spatial mesh. The study focuses on the long-term users during October - November, 2019. The data was collected covering different transport situations with various transport modes such as walking, Public transport, CU POP Bus, and Ha:mo-the car sharing service. The results showed that Ha:mo provides more convenient than both public transport and CU POP Bus. The respondent who uses either public transport or CU POP Bus cannot avoid traffic congestion, hence takes more travel time. The respondent who will wait to aboard the public transport at the bus stop will take more waiting time if there are not enough frequency of public transports. If the respondents use Ha:mo to travel to destination, the respondents could determine the travel time by reserving the Ha:mo via online platform. Therefore, to use Ha:mo can make more trip generations, and increase personal miles travel. The present study also covers the influence of Ha:mo on First-Last Mile Travel. Based on the stated preference survey from Ha:mo usages during September November, 2020. the results of 149 participants indicated that the availability of Ha:mo service instigate more walking distance to access Ha:mo compared to walking distance to access public transport. Finally, the present study reveals that, in university area, the car sharing service - Ha:mo substitutes to public transport usages by 30%, provides access to the study area by 24%, provides egress from the study area by 22%, provides trips connecting between public transport modes by 17%, and provides trips connecting to public transport by 7%.
