1706939 (Cherry)/ 1706695 (MacAuthur). Electric bicycles (e-bikes) are bicycles with a small battery-powered electric motor to assist the rider. Over 150 million e-bikes have been sold in Europe and Asia in the past ten years--in China's case, truly transformative transportation. This is the world's largest adoption of an alternative fuel vehicle. E-bikes are becoming more important in North America. However, there is little empirical evidence on the behavior of e-bike users and environmental sustainability impacts. The investigator team will refine and deploy a research study, using a combination of emerging hardware and software capabilities, to collect behavioral data from e-bike riders. The collected data will then be used to evaluate how large shifts in e-bike use will affect sustainability. The research in this GOALI project is enabled by an industry partner (Bosch). The first objective of this research is to refine an instrumentation system (physical hardware and a mobile device application) tailored for e-bike users. This system includes a mix of onboard hardware and smartphone software to collect a host of data on energy and other vehicle telematics. The data collected by the instrumentation and mobile application will be sent to a platform with little to no input required by the user. Using that data, the second objective is to assess the riding behavior of e-bike users and the performance of e-bikes in meeting travel needs. The research team will conduct an empirical study, starting with at least 150-200 participants for one year. This collaboration with industry partners will collect vehicle telematics and rider behavior metrics with an aim toward modeling net travel changes between modes (mode shift and vehicle kilometers traveled). This objective will identify how e-bike use behaviors differ from relatively well known incumbent modes. The third objective is to investigate the life-cycle environmental impacts of e-bike ownership and use, relying on the Department of Energy's GREET LCA model. Coupling the behavioral models with LCA models will provide a methodologically novel assessment of the impact of this new mode. This study will inform local and state policy and planning efforts related to the growth of e-bikes and their influence on environmental policy goals.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

1706939(樱桃)/1706695(MacAuthur)。电动自行车(e-Bikes)是一种由电池供电的小型电动马达来辅助骑车人的自行车。在过去的十年里，电动自行车在欧洲和亚洲售出了超过1.5亿辆--对中国来说，这是真正革命性的交通运输。这是世界上采用替代燃料汽车最多的一次。电动自行车在北美正变得越来越重要。然而，关于电动自行车使用者的行为和环境可持续性影响的实证证据很少。研究团队将完善和部署一项研究研究，使用新兴的硬件和软件功能的组合，以收集电动自行车骑手的行为数据。然后，收集的数据将被用来评估电动自行车使用的大幅转变将如何影响可持续性。这个GOALI项目的研究是由一个行业合作伙伴(博世)促成的。这项研究的第一个目标是完善为电动自行车用户量身定做的仪器系统(物理硬件和移动设备应用程序)。该系统包括车载硬件和智能手机软件的混合，以收集大量关于能源和其他车辆远程信息处理的数据。由仪器和移动应用程序收集的数据将被发送到用户几乎不需要输入的平台。使用这些数据，第二个目标是评估电动自行车用户的骑行行为，以及电动自行车在满足出行需求方面的表现。研究小组将进行一项实证研究，从至少150-200名参与者开始，为期一年。这项与行业合作伙伴的合作将收集车辆远程信息处理和乘客行为指标，目的是对不同模式(模式转换和车辆行驶里程)之间的净出行变化进行建模。这一目标将确定电动自行车的使用行为与相对众所周知的现有模式有何不同。第三个目标是根据能源部的Greet LCA模型，调查电动自行车拥有和使用对生命周期环境的影响。将行为模型与生命周期评价模型结合起来，将为这一新模式的影响提供一种新的方法论评估。这项研究将为地方和州的政策和规划工作提供信息，涉及电动自行车的增长及其对环境政策目标的影响。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
