近年来，对个人移动车辆的发展、道路兼容性和市场潜力进行了许多研究。这项研究的重点是社会接受的个人移动车辆的一般公众，这是一个关键因素，在未来的介绍和实施这些车辆。本研究使用丰田市124名受访者的调查数据，实证探讨了公众对自平衡两轮车的态度，以及使用前后公众对这种车辆的接受程度的差异。这些车辆的潜在用途包括旅游和短途旅行，在市中心地区的短途旅行，以及在建筑物内穿越。本研究也分析了自平衡两轮车的可接受性和对这些车辆的各种特性的态度之间的因果关系。实证结果显示，使用自平衡两轮车后，使用者对自平衡两轮车的态度有所增加。采用结构方程模型，确定了自平衡两轮车的可接受性和态度之间的因果关系。
Many studies on the development, on-road compatibility, and market potential of personal mobility vehicles have been conducted in recent years. This study focuses on the social acceptability of personal mobility vehicles by the general public, which is a key factor in the future introduction and implementation of these vehicles. Using survey data collected from 124 respondents from the city of Toyota, this study empirically explores the attitudes of the general public toward self-balancing two-wheeled vehicles and differences in the public’s acceptance of such vehicles before and after using them. Potential uses of these vehicles include tourism and excursions, short-distance trips in downtown areas, and traversing within buildings. Causal relationships between the acceptability of self-balancing two-wheeled vehicles and attitudes toward various characteristics of these vehicles are also analyzed in this study. The empirical results indicate that attitudes toward self-balancing two-wheeled vehicles increase after using the vehicles. The causal relationships between the acceptability of and attitudes toward self-balancing two-wheeled vehicles are identified using structural equation modeling.
