E-scooter safety under scrutiny: Examining crash patterns and injuries in the UK

This study investigates the spatial patterns and severity determinants of e-scooter crashes in the UK using nationwide crash data. We identify distinctive spatiotemporal patterns, three crash typologies, and key risk factors, showing that older riders, late-night crashes, rural locations, and deprived communities are associated with higher crash severity. The findings provide evidence for targeted safety interventions and more equitable micromobility policies.

Compounded barriers: the intersection of gender and age in ride-hailing usage

This study examines how gender, age, and their intersection shape ride-hailing adoption across travel purposes in Chengdu, China. Using structural equation modelling with 1,006 survey responses, it shows that age plays a stronger and more consistent role than gender, while gender effects are mostly indirect and mediated by income. The findings further reveal that older women face compounded disadvantages in adopting ride-hailing services.
