“…In addition to the number of passengers and power sources, there were also studies that defined PMV driving distance. Woo ( 7 ) defined PMV as “a means of transportation for one or two persons that can be conveniently used by commuters with short-distance or people with periodic trip pattern,” and Park et al ( 8 ) defined PMV as “a means of transportation mainly powered by electricity for short and medium distances.” In this study, PMV was defined based on the number of passengers and power sources by referring to the definition of PMV in the related literature. However, because this research was conducted on PMVs that only one person could board, PMV was defined as “a single-person mode of transportation powered by electricity.”…”

“…Participants had no major issues when driving on slope sections, but they experienced some uncomfortable behaviors while maintaining their balance ( 32 ). Park et al ( 8 ) reviewed the quantitative safety assessment indicators of the existing modes of transportation and proposed those of the PMVs. The center of the gravity and stability metric were selected as the indicators for the safety of PMVs.…”

“…In addition, the safety of PMVs was evaluated by using a motion analysis system. Through the safety assessments for three different types of PMVs, each of which had a different number of wheels, it was found that the e-scooter with two wheels exhibited the worst degree of safety ( 8 ).…”

Personal mobility vehicles (PMVs) are the potential future travel mode, typically for “first-mile and last-mile trips,” in urban areas. Accordingly, the popularity of PMVs is increasing, and the purpose of using PMVs is diversifying in South Korea. Before revision of the law concerning PMVs, the driving ways and roads for PMVs were not defined by regulations in South Korea. Therefore, most PMV users preferred to drive on sidewalks and bicycle lanes to avoid collisions with larger vehicles. Furthermore, PMVs have been involved in many accidents. To solve these problems, the government of South Korea revised the Road Traffic Act to permit PMVs to travel on bicycle lanes and considered building a new type of lane for PMVs based on the results of field experiments conducted in this study. In these experiments, the minimum turning radius with various speeds, driving performance on roads with vertical alignments, lateral placements in curved sections were examined. In addition, conflicts and inconvenience of PMVs driving on bicycle lanes were tested. In the experiments, three different types of PMVs—electric scooter (e-scooter), electric unicycle (e-unicycle), and segway—were used. Through the experiments, the feasibility of using PMVs on bicycle lanes was assessed, and the design criteria for PMV lanes were derived.
