为了在现有的出行方式中构成一个现实的选择，拼车需要能够提供足够的可达性。迄今为止，拼车服务如何影响可达性仍未得到深入研究。在这项研究中，我们探讨了瑞典122名用户的拼车经历，并检查了拼车可达性的一些可能决定因素。结果表明，用户并不认为拼车是特别容易获得的，在样本中水平很低。此外，多元线性层次回归分析表明，出行简便性、人口密度、受教育年限、上学和工作行程似乎会影响拼车的可及性，而出行时间和成本似乎不会影响拼车的可及性。最后一个模型解释了拼车可达性的三分之一的差异，因此近三分之二的差异仍然没有得到解释。未来的研究应该进一步探索拼车可达性的可能决定因素，以解释、理解和抵消与这种特定出行模式相关的低可达性。
In order to constitute a realistic option to existing travel modes, carpooling needs to be able to offer adequate levels of accessibility. Insights into how carpooling services affect perceived accessibility up until now remain unexplored. In this study we explore carpooling experiences of 122 users in Sweden and examine a number of possible determinants of the perceived accessibility of carpooling. Results show that carpooling is not perceived by the users as particularly accessible with low levels across the sample. Moreover, multiple linear hierarchical regression analyses show that simplicity of travel, population density, years of education, and school and work-trips appear to affect perceptions of accessibility of carpooling, whereas travel time and cost appear not to. The final model explains a third of the variance in perceived accessibility of carpooling, thus nearly two thirds of the variation is still unaccounted for. Future research should explore further possible determinants of perceived accessibility of carpooling in order to explain, understand, and counteract the low levels of accessibility that appear to be linked to this specific travel mode.
