Abstract

This study aims to study the impact of weather conditions and locational characteristics of bike stations on the usage of public bike sharing system for efficient deployment and operation of public bike systems. Linear regression analysis is used to estimate the usage of public bikes of Goyang city. The statistical analysis shows that the usage rate increases with average temperature and decreases under high wind (over 7m/s) or high temperature (over $29^{\circ}$) condition. The usage rate of public bike sharing system can be differentiated by locational characteristics of bike station such as residential area, commercial area, park, school, and metro station. The usage rate increases in park and commercial areas from 10 AM to 3 PM, while it increases in school areas from 3 PM to 5 PM. Public bikes are highly used near the metro station from 5 PM to 8 PM. The stations in parks are highly used in late night, and the usage rate in CBD area increases after the midnight.

본 연구는 효율적인 공공자전거 도입과 운영을 위하여 기상조건과 스테이션 입지특성이 공공자전거 수요 및 이용패턴에 영향을 파악하고자 고양시 공공자전거 대여자료를 가지고 선형회귀분석방법을 통해 시간대별 대여량 모형을 구축하였다. 기상조건에 따른 영향은 평균 기온이 상승할수록 대여량이 늘어나는 것으로 분석되었으며, 강수량이 10mm 이상 되거나, 평균기온이 29도 이상으로 높아지는 경우, 풍속이 7m/s 이상 되는 경우에 대여량이 떨어지는 것으로 분석되었다. 입지특성에 따른 영향은 새벽시간대는 유흥가가 위치한 중심상업지역이, 낮 시간대에는 공원지역과 중심 및 일반상업 지역의 대여량이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 하교시간대는 학교인근 스테이션의 대여량이 증가하고, 퇴근시간대는 지하철역 인근의 대여량이 두드러지게 높아진다. 심야시간대에는 공원지역에서의 대여량이 두드러졌다.
