Exploring the factors influencing the shared e-moped train combination

This studydives into factors influencing the shared e-moped usage in first- and last mile. Other studies show that the service area size, vehicle availability the shape of city and the temperature affect the shared e-moped usage. This study confirms the service catchment, temperature and vehicle availability factors. It adds to this that also...

Design of a universal wireless charging solution for shared electric mopeds in cities

Shared mobility has been present longer than you imagine. In the 1940s, the idea of sharing bicycles started in Switzerland. However, the modern manifestation only became popular about a decade ago, but since then, the market for sharing vehicles has grown significantly. In recent years, different ridesharing services have been popping up. In...

Travel choices in (e-)moped sharing systems: Estimating explanatory variables and the value of ride fee savings

Free-floating (e-)moped sharing systems are becoming increasingly popular and provide new ways of travel in urban areas. The vehicles offer the flexibility of one-way transportation, though the downside for service providers of free-floating shared fleet systems is that their operations may result in a spatial-temporal imbalance of the...

Determinants of shared moped mode choice

A plethora of shared fleet services have been introduced in cities worldwide. Despite their increased presence in urban areas, it is insofar unknown what are the main determinants of travellers’ choices between the usage of shared-mopeds and cars and thereby the extent to which shared moped can substitute car travel. To this end, we design and...

Engagement in violations among young moped riders – Using a qualitative approach to reveal underlying beliefs

Introduction: Moped riders have a comparably high risk of getting seriously injured or killed in road traffic crashes. The moped is the first motor vehicle legally available to adolescents, but knowledge about young moped riders is limited. The few existing studies indicate that violations are a key factor in crash involvement. Method: Using...

Effects of a Lane Marking Nudge at a Cyclist T-Intersection: A field study at Eindhoven, Netherlands

This research investigates the speed behaviour and safety effects on cyclists and mopeds sharing the cyclist T-Intersection with and without the application of a lane marking nudge. Unsignalised cyclist T-Intersection gives rise to more safety-critical instances, which include unsafe braking and evasive maneuvers. It is also found that...

Energy Wall Refueling Stations for Fuel Cell Scooters: An approach to decentralized sustainable hydrogen for urban mobility in the Netherlands

This project investigates the feasibility of hydrogen refueling stations using photovoltaic systems for fuel cell scooters. The aim was to identify the solar electricity generation potential of noise barriers in the Netherlands and the connection between this and future theoretical hydrogen demand for fuel cell powered two wheelers (scooters or...
