The Role of Human Factors, Ergonomics, and 3D Modeling When Evaluating Incidents Involving Micromobility Devices: An E-Scooter Fall Case
DescriptionMicromobility devices - encompassing a range of lightweight devices such as bicycles, pedal-assist bicycles, e-bikes, e-scooters, mopeds, and electronic skateboards - are promising as a complement to existing modes of travel. Human Factors and Ergonomics (HF/E) and Safety professionals are uniquely equipped to evaluate programs/initiatives and assist in developing protocols, safety information, and training. HF/E professionals are also uniquely equipped to use a systems approach to assessing accidents/incidents involving these micromobility devices and deploy technologies to create physics-based visualization to aid as demonstrations in forensic analyses.

This study outlines an incident case study involving an operator-owned e-scooter purchased from the manufacturer. It discusses protocols and technology that can be used to evaluate the system of information and create physics-based 3D models for this forensic application.
