In place of pedestrians and bikes, crashes involving electric bikes have become a large portion of crashes in China in these years. Crash data from Beijing, China, from the year 2009 to 2015 are us...
Highlights
The safety of vulnerable road users (VRUs for short, for example, riders, pedestrians) is going to face challenges in the coming years
A binary logistic model will be used with the corresponding driver, vehicle, VRU, and environmental factors observed from the crash data to identify factors that contribute to the likelihood of a crash severity from a 7-year perspective
Male riders involved in crashes have 94 cases, which account for 63%
