The popularity and proliferation of electric scooters (e-scooters) as a micromobility solution in our cities and urban communities has been rapidly rising. Rent-by-the-minute pricing and a healthy competition between micromobility service…
The micromobility is shaping first- and last-mile travels in urban areas. Recently, shared dockless electric scooters (e-scooters) have emerged as a daily alternative to driving for short-distance commuters in large cities due to the…
The growing popularity of e-scooters and their rapid expansion across urban streets has attracted widespread attention. A major policy question is whether e-scooters substitute existing mobility options or fill the service gaps left by…
As one of the most popular micro-mobility options, e-scooters are spreading in hundreds of big cities and college towns in the US and worldwide. In the meantime, e-scooters are also posing new challenges to traffic safety. In general,…
E-scooters are becoming a popular means of urban transportation. However, this increased popularity brings challenges, such as road accidents and conflicts when sharing space with traditional transport modes. An in-depth understanding of…
E-scooter-sharing and e-bike-sharing systems are accommodating and easing the increased traffic in dense cities and are expanding considerably. However, these new micro-mobility transportation modes raise numerous operational and safety…
This study examines how the introduction of shared electric scooters (e-scooters) affects public transport demand in Santiago, Chile, analyzing whether they complement or substitute for existing transit services. We used smart card data…
Shared e-scooters have become a familiar sight in many cities around the world. Yet the role they play in the mobility space is still poorly understood. This paper presents a study of the use of Bird e-scooters in the city of Atlanta.…
The escalating challenges of traffic congestion and environmental degradation underscore the critical importance of embracing E-Mobility solutions in urban spaces. In particular, micro E-Mobility tools such as E-scooters and E-bikes, play a…
The growing adoption of e-scooters has raised significant safety concerns, particularly due to a surge in injuries and fatalities. This study explores the relationship between road infrastructure, traffic scenarios, and e-scooterists'…
Micromobility vehicles are gaining popularity due to their portable nature, and their ability to serve short distance urban commutes better than traditional modes of transportation. Most of these vehicles, offered by various micromobility…
We estimate the causal effect of shared e-scooter services on traffic accidents by exploiting variation in availability of e-scooter services, induced by the staggered rollout across 93 cities in six countries. Police-reported accidents in…
Dockless e-scooters, a key micromobility service, have emerged as eco-friendly and flexible urban transport alternatives. These services improve first and last-mile connectivity, reduce congestion and emissions, and complement public…
In recent years, an increasing number of shared E-bikes have been rolling out rapidly in our cities. It therefore becomes important to understand new behaviour patterns of the cyclists in using these E-bikes as a foundation for the novel…
Micromobility devices, such as e-scooters and delivery robots, hold promise for eco-friendly and cost-effective alternatives for future urban transportation. However, their lack of societal acceptance remains a challenge. Therefore, we must…
Many cities around the world have introduced dockless micromobility services in recent years and witnessed their rapid growth. Shared dockless e-scooters have the potential to benefit neighborhoods that lack access to station-based…
E-scooters have become a more dominant mode of transport in recent years. However, the rise in their usage has been accompanied by an increase in injuries, affecting the trust and perceived safety of both users and non-users. Artificial…
Micro-mobility transport vehicles such as e-scooters are joining current sidewalk users and affect the safety and comfort of pedestrians as primary sidewalk users. The lack of agreed-upon metrics to quantify people's discomfort hinders…
This study examines the behavioral and environmental implications of shared autonomous micro-mobility systems, focusing on autonomous bicycles and their integration with transit in the U.S. While prior research has addressed operational and…
Finding an available on-street parking spot is a relevant problem of day-to-day life. In recent years, cities such as Melbourne and San Francisco deployed sensors that provide real-time information about the occupation of parking spots.…
