E-Micromobility Stress
| Bicycles and e-scooters are gaining increasing attention as sustainable and environmentally friendly mobility solutions of the future. E-bikes and e-scooters in particular, which place fewer physical demands on users and enable faster travel, are becoming increasingly popular, especially in aging societies. However, compared to other modes of transport, users of these micro-mobility solutions are often exposed to increased stress due to varying traffic situations. External factors such as weather, air temperature, and urban noise also have a significant impact on usage. Understanding these factors is crucial to creating stress-free traffic environments and making cycling and e-scooter riding more attractive. This project investigates the physiological stress experienced by users of e-micromobility in different traffic situations. Based on a detailed analysis of existing research, known stress factors and stress measurement methods are used to measure stress when riding e-bikes and e-scooters. The focus is on infrastructural factors, such as bike lane widths and shared spaces, as well as interactions with other road users. |
