Generic time- and method-interdependencies of empirical impact-measurements: A generalizable model of adaptation-processes of carsharing-users' mobility-behavior over time

摘要: The purpose of this article is to advance empirical sustainability-evaluations carsharing-systems. Carsharing, a frequently cited example product–service system (PSS), currently morphing from niche into mainstream mode transportation. Carsharing has the potential provide more sustainable mobility-option compared private car usage, for by reducing overall motor-vehicle traffic in cities. However, quantification complex, and few studies have analyzed fundamental impacts chosen measurement-methodology on results carsharing-evaluations. This analyses time- method-interdependencies carsharing-studies based generic model structuring adaptation mobility-behavior carsharing-users over time. A paradigm shift static dynamic view PSS carsharing proposed, which could support policymakers enacting carsharing-regulations analysis methodological interdependencies when conceptualizing as processes generalizable impact-assessments new technologies changing user-behavior
