Simulation Framework for Vehicle and Electric Scooter Interaction
The number of shared micro-mobility services such as electric scooters (e-scooters) has an increasing trend due to the advantages of high efficiency and low cost in short-range travel in urban areas. However, due to the unique characteristics of moving behavior, it is commonly seen that e-scooters may share the road with other motor vehicles. The lack of protection may lead to severe injury for e-scooter riders. The scenario where an e-scooter crosses an intersection or makes a lane change while interacting with an approaching vehicle was commonly seen in real-life traffic data. Such scenarios are hazardous because the intention and behavior of the e-scooter may vary significantly based on the traffic environment conditions. Furthermore, some other vehicles may occlude the presence of the moving e-scooter, which can result in an unexpected collision. In this paper, we propose a simulation platform to mimic the interactions between vehicles and e-scooters. Several traffic scenarios are studied via qualitative and quantitative analysis. The proposed framework is shown to be valuable and efficient for the general risk analysis for vehicle and e-scooter interactions (VEI).
