Uptake of e-Scooters in Palermo, Italy: Do the Road Users Tend to Rent, Buy or Share? In International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications Springer: Cham, Switzerland, 2021 pp. Planning for e-scooter use in metropolitan cities: A case study for Paris. How did micro-mobility change in response to COVID-19 pandemic? A case study based on spatial-temporal-semantic analytics. Usage of e-scooters in urban environments. Who is using e-scooters and how? Evidence from Paris. The funders had no role in the design of the study in the collection, analyses, or interpretation of data in the writing of the manuscript, or in the decision to publish the results. The authors declare no conflict of interest. Without obstacles and on wide cycle tracks, the average clearance distance was 0.89 m. The presence of an obstacle to the wheel height reduced the average clearance distance up to 0.10 m, being 0.20 m in the case of obstacles to the handlebar height. They found that clearance distance increased with lane width, and decreased as the cycle tracks had lateral obstacles (e.g., parked vehicles or urban furniture). They collected data of 336 meeting manoeuvres on six two-way cycle tracks ranging 1.3–2.15 m in width, delimited by different boundary conditions in Valencia (Spain). observed cyclists’ meeting manoeuvres using an instrumented bicycle, equipped with video cameras, a GPS tracker, laser rangefinders, and speed sensors. Therefore, several studies have used instrumented bicycles to analyse interactions with other vehicles. ![]() However, video camera can only be placed in specific locations, thus limiting the generalizability of the findings. Video recording is unobtrusive and allows data collection without influencing cyclists’ behaviour. Additionally, an online questionnaire was proposed to assess users’ perceived risk during the meeting manoeuvre, concluding that micromobility users feel safer and more comfortable riding on pavements away from parked or moving motorized traffic, and on protected bicycle tracks. ![]() As a result, bicycle tracks having concrete or vegetated curb presented lower clearance distance (≈0.8 m) than those without edge elements (>1 m), with no statistically significant differences found between the interaction with bicycles and e-scooters. This research aimed at characterizing the meeting manoeuvre between micromobility users along diverse typologies of two-way bicycle track by using an instrumented e-scooter. Thus, there is a need to study e-scooter users’ behaviour and their interaction with cyclists. ![]() In this context, e-scooters have experienced a great rise globally which has led to an increase of crashes involving this type of micromobility vehicle in urban areas. Mobility patterns and lifestyles have changed in recent years in cities worldwide, thanks to the strong rise in modes of travel commonly referred to as micromobility.
