Travel behaviors of women in micromobility

The potential advantages of micro-mobility have been beginning to show, and a critical aspect of clearly understanding the impact of this new system and developing policies to overcome various operational and security issues is the identification of user profiles. Because knowing the user profile is critical to take the proper steps in areas such as infrastructure, security, integration, and policy to be developed. This study focused on the travel behavior of women in micromobility. Accordingly, in this study, women's demands and behaviors in micro-mobility have been quantified, considering women's perspectives on micro-mobility vehicle use. In this context, women's current urban transportation mode usage preferences, micromobility vehicle usage demands, their fundamental views on micromobility, the type of travel they make/can make with micro-mobility vehicles, their duration, purpose, parking characteristics and barriers to using these vehicles are examined in this study. In line with the findings, inferences, and discussions that will increase the share of women in micromobility have been put forward. It is thought that this study, which differs significantly from previous studies in the literature by focusing on the travel demands and behaviors of women in micro-mobility, will add a meaningful depth to the literature.
