Inspired by developments in urban planning, the concept of “shared space” has recently emerged as a way of creating a better public realm by facilitating pedestrian movement and lowering vehicle traffic volumes and speeds. Previous research looked at how the behaviour and perceptions of pedestrians, vehicle drivers and pedal cyclists, vary with the introduction of elements of shared space. The aim of this study is to extend this analysis to Powered Two-Wheeler (PTW) riders, who are a road user group that is often overlooked. The study consists of two parts. The first one conducts a video observation analysis of the behaviour of PTW riders before and after the redevelopment of the Exhibition Road site in London’s South Kensington area to a layout with shared space elements, and looks at changes in key variables, such as flow and speed. The second part, then, provides an insight into the perceptions of PTW riders through a generic stated-preference survey investigating their “willingness to share space” with vehicles and pedestrians. The results show that PTW riders appear to treat shared space features more like motorised users rather than non-motorised ones. Indeed, lower PTW flows and speeds and fewer overtaking manoeuvres are recorded on Exhibition Road post-redevelopment, while lower willingness to share is expressed when large numbers of pedestrians and static obstacles (such as trees, seating and fountains) are present. On the other hand, PTW riders are more positive towards shared space elements if the design provides ample space and a smooth pavement surface.

具有共享空间元素的街道设计中电动两轮车用户的行为和感知

受城市规划发展的启发,“共享空间”的概念最近出现,作为一种通过促进行人移动和降低车辆交通量和速度来创造更好的公共领域的方式。先前的研究着眼于行人、车辆驾驶员和骑自行车的人的行为和看法如何随着共享空间元素的引入而变化。本研究的目的是将这一分析扩展到电动两轮车 (PTW) 车手,他们是一个经常被忽视的道路使用者群体。研究由两部分组成。第一个对伦敦南肯辛顿地区展览路场地重新开发为具有共享空间元素的布局前后PTW车手的行为进行视频观察分析,并观察流量和速度等关键变量的变化. 然后,第二部分通过一项通用的陈述偏好调查,调查他们与车辆和行人“共享空间的意愿”,深入了解 PTW 骑手的看法。结果表明,PTW 骑手似乎更喜欢将共享空间特征视为机动用户而不是非机动用户。事实上,重建后的展览路记录了较低的 PTW 流量和速度以及较少的超车动作,而当存在大量行人和静态障碍物(如树木、座位和喷泉)时,分享意愿较低。另一方面,如果设计提供充足的空间和光滑的路面,PTW 车手更喜欢共享空间元素。通过一项通用的陈述偏好调查,调查他们与车辆和行人“共享空间的意愿”,深入了解 PTW 骑手的看法。结果表明,PTW 骑手似乎更喜欢将共享空间特征视为机动用户而不是非机动用户。事实上,重建后的展览路记录了较低的 PTW 流量和速度以及较少的超车动作,而当存在大量行人和静态障碍物(如树木、座位和喷泉)时,分享意愿较低。另一方面,如果设计提供充足的空间和光滑的路面,PTW 车手更喜欢共享空间元素。通过一项通用的陈述偏好调查,调查他们与车辆和行人“共享空间的意愿”,深入了解 PTW 骑手的看法。结果表明,PTW 骑手似乎更喜欢将共享空间特征视为机动用户而不是非机动用户。事实上,重建后的展览路记录了较低的 PTW 流量和速度以及较少的超车动作,而当存在大量行人和静态障碍物(如树木、座位和喷泉)时,分享意愿较低。另一方面,如果设计提供充足的空间和光滑的路面,PTW 车手更喜欢共享空间元素。结果表明,PTW 骑手似乎更喜欢将共享空间特征视为机动用户而不是非机动用户。事实上,重建后的展览路记录了较低的 PTW 流量和速度以及较少的超车动作,而当存在大量行人和静态障碍物(如树木、座位和喷泉)时,分享意愿较低。另一方面,如果设计提供充足的空间和光滑的路面,PTW 车手更喜欢共享空间元素。结果表明,PTW 骑手似乎更喜欢将共享空间特征视为机动用户而不是非机动用户。事实上,重建后的展览路记录了较低的两轮机动车流量和速度以及较少的超车动作,而当存在大量行人和静态障碍物(如树木、座位和喷泉)时,分享意愿较低。另一方面,如果设计提供充足的空间和光滑的路面,PTW 车手更喜欢共享空间元素。座位和喷泉)存在。另一方面,如果设计提供充足的空间和光滑的路面,PTW 车手更喜欢共享空间元素。座位和喷泉)存在。另一方面,如果设计提供充足的空间和光滑的路面,PTW 车手更喜欢共享空间元素。
