The Safer Scooting Study

电动滑板车是一种新兴的交通工具，正在迅速普及，但许多人担心其安全性。该项目旨在了解人们如何以及为什么使用电动滑板车，以及骑手的行为和安全结果如何随着经验而变化。该项目的预期目标是利用电动滑板车的潜在优势，作为短途汽车旅行的有效替代品，并改善公共交通工具的使用，同时最大限度地减少对乘客和行人的危险。预计这些知识将为各级政府、行业和骑手提供有关如何优化电动滑板车设计、使用和监管的信息，以促进改善所有澳大利亚人的交通、健康和环境结果。

E-scooters are a new transport option experiencing rapid uptake, but many people are concerned about their safety. This project aims to provide an understanding of how and why people use e-scooters and how rider behaviour and safety outcomes change with experience. The anticipated goal of this project is to harness the potential benefits of e-scooters as an efficient replacement for short car trips and a way of improving access to public transport, while minimising the dangers to riders and pedestrians. This knowledge is expected to inform governments at all levels, industry and riders on how to optimise e-scooter design, use and regulation to contribute to improvements in transport, health and environmental outcomes for all Australians.
