Estimation of the Potential of Carsharing in the Czech Republic, with Case Study, of the Skalka Housing Estate in Ústí and Labem

Original language description

Carsharing is part of a growing segment of sharing economy. It is often described as a more economically advantageous alternative to owning a car, because in the case of carsharing, some cost items are split between multiple users. On the other hand, it is also necessary to take into account the overhead costs of the carsharing operator and the possible poorer availability of vehicles. This paper presents an analysis of the financial benefits of carsharing in the Czech Republic to estimate the potential of replacing private cars while taking into account other limitations like size of the town and public transport offer. Considering that carsharing tariffs depend not only on the distance driven, but also on the duration of the rental, the financial advantage was assessed for different scenarios of vehicle use. This paper also describes a case study from the Skalka housing estate in Ústí nad Labem, in which, in addition to the potential of replacing private cars with carsharing, the necessary number of shared vehicles was also addressed. This was estimated based on recordings of vehicle stays in the area of the Skalka housing estate. The conclusion is that replacing the user's own car with carsharing is beneficial only for people who use their car only occasionally. If limitations such as the use of public transport and the minimum size of a municipality of 20,000 inhabitants are taken into account, carsharing in the Czech Republic can replace 4-8% of private cars (in larger towns 8-17%). Based on measurements at the Skalka housing estate, one shared car can replace 1.89-3.11 private cars. However, it is necessary to mention that several influences (such as comfort) were not taken into account.
