Abstract

Mobility as a service (MaaS) integrates various transportation modalities and connects these modalities to enable users to travel from departure points to destination points. The objectives of this study were to analyze the factors influencing the intention to use MaaS and determine a direction for the implementation of this service. Hence, this study utilized an ordered probit model and marginal effect analysis. Specifically, a survey was conducted based on citizens living in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, to prepare logical MaaS operation measures customized in this province. Subsequently, variables related to MaaS were classified, and statistical analysis was performed based on these variables. The need for integrated transportation service, intention to use shared mobility, gender, household income, and region are found to have significant effects. Moreover, demographic groups with high levels of intention to use MaaS were identified. Finally, the intention to use MaaS was found to be mainly affected by whether public transportation was the primary means of transportation or whether the subjects spent a comparatively long time commuting. It is expected that these findings will serve as the basis for MaaS implementation in the future and will also be used as fundamental data for transportation service planning.
