Modelling of micro mobility - M3
A prestudy on knowledge needs and user patterns.
Micro-mobility is a collective term that encompasses different types of vehicles, e.g. electric scooters, electric bikes, segways and electric tricycles. Electric scooters and similar forms of micro-mobility provide a fast, quiet, environmentally friendly and space-saving means of transport. However, the rapid establishment has meant that today's infrastructure is not adapted to their characteristics, which has given rise to a number of conflicts and problems. Thus, there is a great need for authorities to understand how the positive sides of micro-mobility can be strengthened and how the negative sides can be remedied. The aim of this prestudy is to lay the first stone in the build-up of analytical and modeling skills in urban traffic micro-mobility. The project aims to identify the knowledge needs of the actors involved, especially authorities and mobility companies. The preliminary study also aims to make an initial analysis of how micro-mobility is used based on analysis of data from one of the companies.
