Micromobility

Promoting micromobility usage in mobility services

The Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy of Korea initiated a project to promote micromobility and related services.

Duties:

  • discovered effective use of Micro-Electric vehicles in transportation and logistics

  • built roadmaps to proliferate Micro-Electric vehicles and related services nationwide

  • investigated spatiotemporal rental and return patterns of E-scooter sharing services

Micro-Electric vehicle for postal service

GIS-based narrow paths extraction results where Micro-Electric vehicle-based logistics can be effective

Postal zone-based narrow paths heatmap

Shared E-scooters

Conventional urban land use plan
(For planning purposes & fixed)

Point-Of-Interests (POIs) in the
shared E-scooters service area

Spatial city-block clustering based on
Point-Of-Interests (POIs) density
(Actual land use based & updating)

Normalized POI densities
of each spatial city block cluster
