Abstract
Personal mobility vehicles (PMV) are compact, superior to environmental performance and paid their attention as a local transportation mode. For deployment of PMV social acceptance on PMV whether pedestrians can subjectively accept the pedestrian-PMV mixed traffic has to be examined. This research aims at investigating characteristics of the risk recognitions of pedestrians under mixed traffic considering type of PMV and pedestrian attributes. Questionnaire surveys were conducted to ask about the risk toward various vehicle types. The result of factor analysis showed two points; 1) sitting vehicle type is perceived as less risky than standing vehicle type by pedestrian, 2) risk perceptions are significantly different by pedestrian attributes (i.e. knowledge of PMV, sex, walking behavior, walking habit and age).
