オンデマンド交通とカーシェアを組み合わせたRural MaaSモデルの試み〜鳥取市事例からの考察

抄録

This paper presents a Rural MaaS model that provides mobility as a service in rural areas where there is heavy reliance on the private car and public transportation is in decline. To achieve this, a model different from that used in urban areas is necessary. In this study, we hypothesized a model that combines Demand Responsive Transit (DRT) and car-sharing, and attempted to flesh out this model through a POC (Proof of Concept) project in Tottori City. The results showed that DRT is used for daily use in the neighbourhood, while car sharing is used for shopping in the suburbs, and that they are complementary to each other. We were also able to confirm a use case in which people use DRT to travel from their homes to car-sharing stations located outside of walking distance. The use of private cars, which are usually the most popular mode of transportation, was observed to decrease the most during the POC project. The results suggest that the Rural MaaS model, which combines DRT and car sharing, can contribute to servitizing the mobility in rural areas.
