Assessment of Micromobility Infrastructure from the Perspective of Electromobility Development
Source abstract
Abstract
The aim of this article is to assess micromobility infrastructure from the perspective of the development of electromobility in Poland. The research problem was formulated in the form of a question: To what extent does the development of micromobility infrastructure contribute to changes in the electromobility process? In conceptual terms, point and linear transport infrastructure and means of transport adapted to a given infrastructure were identified. For the purposes of infrastructure research, models relating to point and linear micromobility infrastructure were used. The methodological basis was the adoption of five criteria for the design and evaluation of bicycle infrastructure, on the basis of which a theoretical model of sustainable micromobility development was created. In Poland, there is considerable interest in personal transportation devices. This is due to the high availability of PTMs, mainly because they do not require much parking space (point infrastructure) and provide relatively cheap travel compared to traveling by car, and they also speed up the first and last kilometers of the journey. In recent years, Poland has seen significant growth and development regarding linear infrastructure.
