E-scooter is an innovative travel mode that meets the demand of many travelers. A lack of understanding of user routing preferences makes it difficult for policymakers to adapt existing infrastructures to accommodate these emerging travel demands. This study develops an e-scooter route choice model to reveal riders’ preferences for different types of transportation infrastructures, using revealed preferences data. The data were collected using Global Positioning System units installed on e-scooters operating on Virginia Tech’s campus. We applied the Recursive Logit route choice model to 2000 randomly sampled e-scooter trajectories. The model results suggest e-scooter riders are willing to travel longer distances to ride in bikeways (59% longer), multi-use paths (29%), tertiary roads (15%), and one-way roads (21%). E-scooter users also prefer shorter and simpler routes. Finally, slope is not a determinant for e-scooter route choice, likely because e-scooters are powered by electricity.

电子踏板车是一种创新的出行方式，可以满足许多旅行者的需求。缺乏对用户路线偏好的理解，使得决策者很难适应现有的基础设施来适应这些新兴的旅行需求。这项研究开发了一种电动踏板车路线选择模型，以使用显示的偏好数据来揭示车手对不同类型的交通基础设施的偏好。数据是使用全球定位系统收集的安装在弗吉尼亚理工大学校园内的电动滑板车上的设备。我们将递归Logit路线选择模型应用于2000个随机采样的电动踏板车轨迹。模型结果表明，电动踏板车骑手愿意走更长的距离，以骑自行车道（长59％），多用途路径（29％），第三级道路（15％）和单向道路（21％）。电动踏板车用户还喜欢更短和更简单的路线。最后，坡度不是电动滑板车路线选择的决定因素，这可能是因为电动滑板车由电力驱动。
