Résumé / Abstract
Former research showed that bicyclists particularly valued secure parking and good cycle paths to use the bicycle as an access mode to trains. In spring 2010, in the Paris region, a stated preference survey was designed and conducted to investigate the preferred types of intermodal bicycle facilities at stations. For that, 18 situations were simulated with photographs and short texts. Each situation combined the values of six attributes: access route (cycle path, none), site protection (open air, shelter, warden, smart card control, lockers), securing provision (nothing, pole, stand, grip), distance to platforms (50 meters, 200 meters), operation time (24 hours, 20 hours, peak hours only), user fee (free, 10 euro per month, 20 euro per month). The respondents were asked to rate their satisfaction level with the situation on a six-level scale. Respondents were recruited among cyclists by e-mail, on cycling forums and on a bicycle second-hand market. Despite a limited number of respondents, a cumulative logit model could estimate the effects of most attribute items. Respondents were most satisfied with lockers, then simple shelters, and most dissatisfied with fees and lack of cycle paths. Moreover, qualitative comments by respondents helped at understanding how the general quality of the facilities was valued. In particular, despite the relatively low estimation for stands, many comments confirm that they are essential theft-proof devices.
