Abstract
Micromobility devices—encompassing a range of lightweight devices such as bicycles, pedal-assist bicycles, e-bikes, e-scooters, mopeds, and electronic skateboards—are promising as a complement to existing modes of travel. Human factors and ergonomics professionals can leverage available technology, education, and experience to assess aspects of human behavior, perception, expectations, performance, and kinematics when interacting with micromobility devices. This study discusses the application of Human Factors and 3D modeling when assessing micromobility devices during real-world incident investigations and showcases various tools that can be used for these types of assessments. This article outlines an incident case study involving an operator-owned e-scooter purchased from the manufacturer.
