Abstract: With the gradual expansion of the university scale, it is extremely inconvenient for students to travel to and from campus and classrooms. Bikeshare and shared electric bike (e-bikeshare) are currently promising solutions for campus travel. Most literature has recently focused on bikeshare and e-bikeshare studies in the urban environment, with little attention on campus. However, campuses are significantly different from urban environments, which hinder the active promotion of campus bikeshare and e-bikeshare use. The subject of this paper is Henan Polytechnic University, which is one of the largest bikeshare and e-bikeshare universities in China. Based on the analysis and summary of travel characteristics of Chinese college travelers, this paper uses RP and SP survey data to construct a Nested Logit model to explore the potential factors influencing the use behavior of bikeshare and e-bikeshare in Chinese college environments. The results show that bikeshare and e-bikeshare are the most sensitive to trip time. The influence of trip purpose and weather conditions on the selection of bikeshare and e-bikeshare is smaller than that of time urgency. According to the estimated trip sharing rate of the model, we find that bikeshare and e-bikeshare are attractive.
