Shared E-scooter Adoption and Mode Substitution Patterns
… the adoption and mode substitution patterns of e-scooters using survey data from four metropolitan areas in the southern United States, obtained from Fall 2019 to Spring 2020. For adoption patterns, we find a positive correlation between the use of ridehailing services and being an e-scooter user, …

Exploring the Link Between E-scooter Crash Mechanism and Injury Outcome Using Finite Element Analysis
The recent emergence of electric scooter (e-scooter) ride share companies has greatly increased the use of e-scooters in cities around the world. In this thesis, firstly, e-scooter injuries reported in the current literature as well as an overview of current e-scooter company policies, state laws, …

Data Acquisition and Processing Pipeline for E-Scooter Tracking Using 3d Lidar and Multi-Camera Setup
… The focus of this thesis will be the dock-less e-scooter and the primary goal will be to track its movements effectively and accurately with respect to cars on the road and the world. Since it is relatively more common to observe a car on the road than e-scooters, we propose a data collection …

Multiple Purposes in Policy Pilots: Interrogating English Experiences with E-Scooters
This thesis investigates the English rental e-scooter pilot. E-scooters promise efficient, equitable, low-carbon, mobility, but the rapid spread of rental services has brought concerns over safety, sustainability, and use of public space. Occupying multiple regulatory ‘grey areas’ (Fearnley, 2020, …

Fire modelling of passenger trains
… powered devices such as tablets, e-bikes, and e-scooters. The models were assessed in terms of heat release rate development, flashover potential, and available safe egress time at both 1.5 m and 0.9 m above the floor level, representing typical standing and crawling breathing zones. The results …
