Electric scooter safety: An integrative review of evidence from transport and medical research domains

Khashayar Kazemzadeh et al.

Summary: Safe mobility is crucial for sustainable cities and societies, but the safety concerns surrounding e-scooters pose a significant challenge for their widespread adoption. A systematic review of peer-reviewed papers on e-scooter safety reveals a need for analyzing their interactions with other road users and implementing surrogate safety measures. Head and face injuries are identified as the most common injuries for e-scooter riders involved in collisions. The absence of uniform regulations for e-scooter practices could hinder their safe adoption, emphasizing the importance of establishing regulations for safety gears and preventing riding under the influence.

Comparison of station-based and free-floating bikeshare systems as feeder modes to the metro

Long Cheng et al.

Summary: Shared micro-mobility has been growing rapidly, and the coordinated development of different modes can improve urban public transport connectivity. This study compared the spatial and temporal patterns of station-based bikeshare systems (SBBS) and free-floating bikeshare systems (FFBS) with the metro. The results showed that SBBS were mainly used as feeder mode in downtown metro stations, while FFBS-metro integration was more dispersed at peripheral stations and covered wider time periods.

Data-driven interpretation on interactive and nonlinear effects of the correlated built environment on shared mobility

Kun Gao et al.

Summary: Understanding the usage demand and determinants of shared mobility systems in different areas of a city is crucial for planning, operating, and managing the systems. This study uses an unbiased data-driven approach called accumulated effect analysis to examine the complex effects of correlated built environment factors on shared mobility usage. The findings show that the commonly used partial dependency analysis method results in biases, while accumulated local effect analysis can appropriately interpret the effects of correlated built environment factors. The results reveal nonlinear and threshold patterns in the effects of built environment factors on shared mobility usage, and also demonstrate complex interaction effects between different factors.

Mode choice, substitution patterns and environmental impacts of shared and personal micro-mobility

Daniel J. Reck et al.

Summary: The study found that trip distance, precipitation, and access distance are fundamental factors in micro-mobility mode choice. Additionally, personal e-scooters and e-bikes emit less CO2 than the transport modes they replace, while shared e-scooters and e-bikes emit more CO2 than the transport modes they replace.

Inertia effects of past behavior in commuting modal shift behavior: interactions, variations and implications for demand estimation

Kun Gao et al.

Summary: This paper empirically investigates the inertia effects of past behavior in commuting modal shift behavior, exploring influences on traveler's preferences regarding level-of-service variables, mode-specific inertia effects, and factors contributing to heterogeneity of inertia effects. Results show significant interactions of inertia terms with LOS variables, distinct inertia effects for different transport modes, and effects of personal characteristics and contexts on inertia effects magnitude. Incorporating interactions and mode-specific inertia effects can improve demand estimation in various contexts.

Investigating the association between neighbourhood characteristics and e-scooter safety

Shahram Heydari et al.

Summary: This study explores the association between neighborhood characteristics and e-scooter safety in Greater London for the first time. The research findings indicate that the City of London, the West End, and St. James's have the highest expected e-scooter crash frequencies. It is also found that the increase in area-level walking and cycling activities is associated with higher e-scooter crash frequencies, while an increase in the proportion of greenspace is associated with a decrease in crashes involving e-scooters.

Assessing environmental benefits from shared micromobility systems using machine learning algorithms and Monte Carlo simulation

Helinyi Peng et al.

Summary: This study proposes a method to estimate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction of shared micromobility systems (SMSs). Machine learning algorithms are used to identify citizens' travel mode preferences and estimate the substituted travel modes for each shared micromobility trip. Monte Carlo simulations are applied to improve the reliability of the GHG reduction estimation. The results suggest that SMSs have positive environmental impacts and can contribute to decarbonizing urban transport.
