Analyzing the Effects of Car Sharing Services on the Reduction of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions (2018, background): “Shaheen et al. [3] examined the operators’ perspectives on the benefits and limitations of one-way and roundtrip car sharing.”
A behavioral choice model of the use of car-sharing and ride-sourcing services (2017, result): “Similar findings have been reported by Rayle et al. (2016), Viechnicki et al. (2015), Martin and Shaheen (2011), and Coll et al. (2014).”
Impact of Carsharing on Household Vehicle Holdings (2010, background): “The evaluation of these effects, strictly related to household travel, are reported in Martin and Shaheen (1).”
Measuring the car ownership impact of free-floating car-sharing – A case study in Basel, Switzerland (2018, methodology): “the course of their car-sharing membership [7].”
Low carbon lifestyles: A framework to structure consumption strategies and options to reduce carbon footprints (2016, background): “In the case of car sharing, direct emissions could be decreased if either the overall km driven are reduced through sharing and not owing a car or if the car that is shared is fuelled by lower carbon intensive fuels (Martin and Shaheen, 2011).”
Empirical analysis of free-floating carsharing usage: The Munich and Berlin case (2015, background): “When trying to increase the acceptance of carsharing one last point is very important to mention: one study shows that station-based carsharing reduces greenhouse gas emissions (Martin and Shaheen, 2011).”
Free-floating electric carsharing-fleets in smart cities: The dawning of a post-private car era in urban environments? (2015, background): “The percentage- expected compared to cities with a higher initial number of average household vehicles: ‘‘[C]arsharing impacts are potentially greater in low-density urban environments where car ownership is more widespread’’ (Martin and Shaheen, 2010, p. 55).”
Carsharing’s Life-Cycle Impacts on Energy Use and Greenhouse Gas Emissions (2016, methodology): “Martin and Shaheen (2011a) also found that carsharing vehicles are more fuel 211 efficient than the vehicles they replaced, with the carsharing fleet averaging 13.9 km per liter 212 (32.8 mpg) and the vehicles they replaced averaging 9.8 km per liter (23.3 mpg).”
Comparing Car-Sharing Schemes in Switzerland: User Groups and Usage Patterns (2016, background): “…case of traditional car-sharing services, where slight increases of vehicle miles travelled (VMT) by the majority of customers were more than balanced by substantial decreases in VMT by the remainder of the customers (Martin and Shaheen, 2011a) resulting in a significantly positive overall impact.”
