Abstract
This is a research project for course CIE5090-09. The research aims to investigate the impact of the light-mopeds on the cyclists’ perceived safety. An online questionnaire is delivered to collect the participants’ feelings on the perceived safety of the given scenarios, and the reasons why they are feeling unsafe, as well as their intended reaction to the light-mopeds. The results shows that the participants would in general feel unsafe when they are in the conflicting directions with the light-mopeds. The leading reason for them to feel unsafe is the turning and speeding of the light-mopeds. Moreover, the results shows that most of the participants would take evasive actions, for instance to give their way or slow down, when feeling unsafe interacting with the light-mopeds.
