Quantifying The Impact Of Weather On Ride-Hailing Ridership: Evidence From Haikou, China
TRAVEL BEHAVIOUR AND SOCIETY(2021)
摘要
Existing studies have demonstrated that weather significantly affects public transit and active travel, but few studies quantify the impact of weather on ride-hailing ridership. Compared with other travel modes, the supply of ride-hailing can be flexibly adjusted following weather changes, thereby reducing the difficulty for users to hailing cars and improving vehicle utilization. This study quantifies the impact of weather on ride-hailing ridership in Haikou, China. Our main results include: (1) An increase of 1 mm in precipitation raises ride-hailing ridership by 0.39%, and an increase of 1 m/s in wind speed reduces ridership by 1.04%; (2) Wind speed and rainfall have stronger impacts on weekends than on weekdays. The increase of 1 mm in precipitation raises the ridership by 0.21% and 0.59% on weekdays and weekends, respectively; (3) The impact of weather on ride-hailing ridership is significant in the daytime while insignificant in the nighttime; (4) The effect of wind strengthens with travel distance, while the impacts of rainfall and air pollution diminish with travel distance; and (5) Trips starting from urban areas are more vulnerable to weather than those from suburban areas.
