Experimental Analysis of Personal Mobility Maneuver Reacting to Pedestrians and Cyclists

Abstract

Personal Mobility Vehicles（PMVs） are emerging as a new transport mode particularly for short distances trips. Before allowing those on shared road stretches in Asian cities with high demand of pedestrian and cyclists, interactions between PMVs and other road users should be properly understood. With suitable modifications and proper calibration, exiting pedestrian simulation models or car-following models could be used to model such interactions on shared spaces. In order to explore the feasibility of modifying and calibrating such modelling approaches, a series of experiments were conducted. As an initial step, the data obtained through these experiments were analyzed focusing specifically on components of pedestrian simulation models or car-following models.
