A SYSTEMATIZATION OF MICRO-MOBILITY SAFETY IN SUSTAINABLE CITIES

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this analysis was to introduce the safety category to the general contextof micromobility development in modern cities. The article is theoretical and is intended to introducethe safety category in micromobility. It focuses on the relatively young and attractive micromobilitymarket in terms of greening socio-economic activities and development.The micromobility market is receiving increasing attention from both citizens and city planners.The safety category was determined by: a) various internationally differentiated technical vehiclestandards, b) micromobility users road accidents, c) cities transport infrastructure, and d) personaldata of micromobility users. It was demonstrated that safety is an important issue in transportand city planning. The micromobility vehicles hold high significance in promoting sustainabledevelopment. Therefore, it is imperative to incorporate micromobility into sustainable urban mobilityplans and incentivize individuals to change their mobility patterns. However, there is a need toobserve the market because it is rather dynamic and more and more vehicles appear, also for elderlyand people with physical disabilities. The emergence of novel technologies and vehicles has thepotential to transform cities, thereby ensuring their safety and fostering a friendly environmentfor their citizens.
