As the use of shared electric kickboards is rapidly increasing, there are many cases of illegal parking of shared mobility. In order to solve this problem, local governments are taking measures such as towing illegally parked shared electric kickboards, but user management is not considered and the methods are inefficient. Accordingly, in this paper, we propose a blockchain-based shared electric kickboard user management model. The shared electric kickboard is equipped with a camera sensor and GPS that can check the parking status, and when the user ends the use of the shared electric kickboard, information on the parking status is collected through the installed sensors and the shared electric kickboard company You can check if the user has parked correctly. In addition, trust points are given according to the user's parking history and incentives are provided according to the trust points, inducing users to return the shared evangelism kickboard correctly. The information is shared through the consortium blockchain in which shared electric kickboard companies participate, enabling integrated user management of shared electric kickboard companies.

Travel demand estimation of E-Scooter is the start point of solving the regional demand-supply imbalance problem and plays pivotal role in a linked transportation system such as Mobility-as-a-Service (a.k.a. MaaS). Most focuses on developing trip generation model of shared E-Scooter but it is no study on selection of an appropriate zone scale when it comes to estimating travel demand of E-Scooter. This paper aimed for selecting an optimal TAZ scale for developing trip distribution model for shared E-Scooter. The TAZ scale candidates were selected in 250m, 500m, 750m, 1,000m square grid. The shared E-Scooter usage historical data were utilized for calculating trip distance and time, and then applying to developing gravity model. Mean Squared Error (MSE) is applied for the verification step to select the best suitable gravity model by TAZ scale. As a result, 250m of TAZ scale is the best for describing practical trip distribution of shared E-Scooter among the candidates.

An electric scooter(e-scooter), one popularized micro-mobility vehicle has shown rapidly increasing use in many cities. In South Korea, the use of e-scooters has greatly increased, as some companies have launched e-scooter sharing services in a few large cities, starting with Seoul in 2018. However, the use of e-scooters is still controversial because of issues such as parking and safety. Since the perception toward the means of transportation affects the mode choice, it is necessary to track the trends for electric scooters to make the use of e-scooters more active. Hence, this study aimed to analyze the trends related to e-scooters. For this purpose, we analyzed news articles related to e-scooters published from 2014 to 2020 using dynamic topic modeling to extract issues and sentiment analysis to investigate how the degree of positive and negative opinions in news articles had changed. As a result of topic modeling, it was possible to extract three different topics related to micro-mobility technologies, shared e-scooter services, and regulations for micro-mobility, and the proportion of the topic for regulations for micro-mobility increased as shared e-scooter services increased in recent years. In addition, the top positive words included quick, enjoyable, and easy, whereas the top negative words included threat, complaint, and ilegal, which implies that people satisfied with the convenience of e-scooter or e-scooter sharing services, but safety and parking issues should be addressed for micro-mobility services to become more active. In conclusion, this study was able to understand how issues and social trends related to e-scooters have changed, and to determine the issues that need to be addressed. Moreover, it is expected that the research framework using dynamic topic modeling and sentiment analysis will be helpful in determining social trends on various areas.

As the demand for shared-type electric kickboards increases day by day, various companies in Korea are also providing shared-type electric kickboard rental services. With the rapid growth of related fields, users can easily rent shared electric kickboards in the vicinity, but management after use is not performed properly due to the absence of a designated rental station, and It is a situation that electric kickboards are being damaged. For this reason, citizens' perception of shared electric kickboards has changed negatively, and it is said that the service of shared electric bicycles is limited in some cities. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a user filtering system that extracts Black Consumers that can negatively affect the rental system through indiscriminate use. When this system is introduced, it is expected that safe electric kickboard use and management will be possible.

Recently, shared dockless e-scooter usage has rapidly increased, rather than the station-based shared mobility service, because of convenience. This transition leads to new social problems in urban areas such as increased traffic accidents and hindrance of pedestrian environments. In this study, we analyze the usage characteristics of shared e-scooters in Seoul, and identify factors influencing demand for shared e-scooters by developing a negative binomial regression model. As a result, the usage characteristics show that the average trip distance, the average trip duration, and the average trip speed were 1.5km, 9.4min, and 10.3km/h, respectively. Demographic factor, transport facility factors, land use factors, and weather factors have statistically significant impacts on demand for shared e-scooters. The results of this study will be used as basic data for suggesting effective operation strategies for areas with higher shared e-scooter demand and for establishing transport policies for facilitating shared e-scooter usage.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of gamification strategies on improving participation and motivation of shared electric scooter users. To this end, this study derived the user type through the first research question of how the shared electric scooter usage behavior and pulse are, and derived user tasks and scenarios. The second research question, a shared electric kickboard app with gamification, was tested by users to see if it helps increase user participation and form motivation. As a result of the analysis, it was found that users were induced to be considerate of other users by using a combination of the motivational, relational, and self-expression strategies of gamification. Second, it was found that the use of motivation, achievement and reward, and reward visualization strategy elements promotes user's voluntary behavior. Third, through relationship, achievement, and reward strategies, users participated to create a positive culture of shared electric scooters, drawing immediate feedback, indicating that convenience has increased. In conclusion, it was found that the user helped to play a positive role in voluntary participation and motivation through the use of the shared electric kickboard service with gamification.

경찰청에 따르면 도로교통법이 개정된 이후 3개월단 개인형 이동장치(PM)를 단속한 결과 무면허 운전이 3199건에 달하는 것으로 나타났다. 공유 킥보드 서비스의 경우 회원가입을 할 때 운전면허증 취득 여부를 확인하긴 하지만 서비스를 이용할 때는 별도의 확인 절차 없이 대여할 수 있기 때문에 운전면허증을 취득하지 않았어도 대여하는 경우가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 공유 킥보드 서비스의 보안 취약점을 보완하기 위해 오토인코더와 변이형 오토인코더를 사용한 딥러닝 기반의 공유 킥보드 대리 대여 방지 시스템을 제안한다. 오토인코더는 지문 데이터로부터 특징만을 추출할 수 있어, 사용자의 지문 원본을 서버에게 노출시키지 않을 수 있다. 변이형 오토인코더는 생성형 모델로써, 사용자의 지문 데이터를 증폭 시켜 합성곱 신경망의 성능을 높이는데 도움을 준다. 이러한 오토인코더와 변이형 오토인코더의 특징을 이용해 사용자의 지문을 서버에 노출시키지 않으면서 적은 데이터로 신뢰성 높은 사용자 인증이 가능한 전동 킥보드 대여 시스템을 제안한다.

The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze leading brands of the scooter-sharing system market of Korea, KICKGOING and Lime, in terms of user experience, and to suggest the improvement direction of the applications and scooters of those two services. The assessment was conducted in such a way that the experimental group using scooter-sharing system over a certain frequency would choose the specific service they use most frequently, and complete a questionnaire: based on the reorganized version of the Peter Morville's Honeycomb Model. Based on the results of the experiment, We drew a conclusion that the services need to add navigation features in the application, to provide more simple procedures for reporting breakdown or accident and browsing insurance information, and to improve the user and pedestrian safety levels by gamification, et cetera. We expect this study to help the fast-growing smart mobility market and scooter-sharing systems that represent the market develop into a user-centered way.
