Demographic and Demand Characteristics of Carsharing: A Case Study of Austin,
Texas explores the use of geospatial analysis in order to understand the demand
characteristics and market for carsharing services. A literature review was performed and
the demographic characteristics of typical users of carsharing were established. A series
of maps was created to geospatially identify concentrations of typical users and their
location and access in reference to carsharing vehicle locations. The greater urbanized
area of Austin, Texas located within Travis County was used as a case study for this
analysis. The report demonstrates that geospatial analysis is a valuable tool to understand
the spatial relationship between typical carshare users, nontypical
carshare users and the
placement of carshare vehicles. / text
