Doctor of Philosophy / Electric scooters, or e-scooters, have become an increasingly popular form of transportation over the recent years. However, there have been numerous reports of safety concerns, crashes, and injuries for e-scooter riders and other road users as a result of e-scooter misuse. Until recently, very little formal research has been conducted on the safety of this micromobility solution. This dissertation describes a series of studies that have investigated the contributing factors to safety concerns and identified countermeasures, such as policy recommendations, design optimization, and training, that can be implemented with an end goal of improving e-scooter safety.
