Comparing injuries from e-scooters, e-bikes, and bicycles in the United States
There is a growing perception that e-scooters are more dangerous than bicycles and e-bikes, with towns implementing measures to ban their usage. Yet, there is not much evidence from large scale surveys to substantiate this claim. Nearly 14,000 micromobility injuries...
Equal charging for all: Are there income-based disparities in public charging stations?
We compare charging station accessibility for different income groups in the San Francisco Bay Area. Using a microsimulation model, we estimate charging station accessibility under varying battery range scenarios, assuming different income groups have vehicles with...
