“…On the other hand, encouraging modal change from cars and motorcycles to micromobility modes would result in an overall reduction in emissions, even with the current state of micromobility technology. That solution would be particularly promising in cities with a high share of private transport use, or in cities such as Barcelona where motorbikes represent a large share of private mobility [60,61]. Ultimately, the more sustainable and healthier way to integrate these new micromobility services could be to make them complement public transportation grids [62], and to tailor their use towards mid-distance trips.…”

Assessing Environmental Performance of Micromobility Using LCA and Self-Reported Modal Change: The Case of Shared E-Bikes, E-Scooters, and E-Mopeds in Barcelona

Micromobility is often thought of as a sustainable solution to many urban mobility challenges. The literature to date, however, has struggled to find consensus on the sustainability of shared and electric scooters, e-bikes, and e-mopeds. This paper uses a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach to calculate the impacts of micromobility modes in three categories: Global Warming Potential (GWP), Particulate Matter Formation, and Ozone Formation. It does so by incorporating the self-reported modal change of each transportation mode: shared e-moped, shared e-bicycle, shared bicycle, and personal e-scooter. The results show that modal change brought by the introduction of shared e-mopeds and shared e-bicycles caused an increase in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, while shared bicycles and personal electric scooters decreased GHG emissions. All micromobility modes except personal e-scooters increased particulate matter emissions, but decreased those which were emitted within the city, while they all decreased NOx. The findings of this study suggest new micromobility services are not always the best environmental solution for urban mobility, unless the eco-design of vehicles is improved, and they are strategically used and deployed as part of a holistic vision for transport policy.

“…Motorcycle popularization and affordability has increased in the last years, and acquisition focus and use purposes of small or big engine potency differs both in user profile and in marketing (Marim, 2010). It is believed and demonstrated that motorcycles with bigger engine potency can present differences in accident profile compared to small engine potency (Langley et al, 2000;Waseem et al, 2019;Hidalgo-Fuentes & Sospedra-Baeza, 2019;Méndez-Magaña et al, 2019), which can provide subsidies for specific health policies.…”

Introduction: Traffic accidents are a global issue, especially in emerging countries, resulting in a high number of deaths and significant social and economic expenditures with victims. Motorcycle accidents stand out mainly by its greater vulnerability, and studies relating bike engine potency and accidents are still rare. Objective: To trace the profile of victims involved in motorcycle accidents as a function of motorcycle power that were assisted by the Fire Department in Uberlândia, Brazil. Methodology: A transversal, retrospective, analytic and quantitative study, based on a public database. Twelve thousand nine hundred occurrence reports were retrospectively analyzed between 2015 and 2018 in the Integrated System of Social Defense from the Military Fire Department of Minas Gerais state database. Variables that allowed accident characterization were collected (such as motorcycle conductor or passenger and from the accident itself) and were compared in function of the motorcycle power or engine potency (less than 250 CC as low and more than 250 CC as high). Results: There was a lack of information in reports about the accident and even greater lack about the injured person, ranging from 0% to 52%. The predominance of accidents was with motorcycles below 250 CC. The values of severity and clinical data scores were not different between engine potency categories, except for the heart frequency of the injured, with a median of 82 and 80 beats for high and low engine potency, respectively. A greater frequency of accidents involving men, single, with higher education conducting motorcycles over 250 CC, involved in falls, with occurrence between 18:01 and 24:00 hours was noted. However, accidents occurred mostly with small-sized vehicles and motorcycles and did not differ between days of the week. Accidents showed a spatial pattern where most accidents occurred downtown and, consequently, in more commercial regions, with no major differences in engine potency. Conclusion: Even though accident severity did not differ between engine potency categories, the profile of participants showed some differences. This information, along with more complete and broader data in the reports, can offer subsides for more assertive public policy implementation to mitigate traffic accidents.

“…55 años y 2018 de 34,86 años, estado civil soltero y un nivel académico por lo menos de secundaria o educación media (ver tabla 1). Estos hallazgos son coincidentes con los reportados por estudios precedentes(13 -20); a este respecto, Hidalgo et al(21) sostienen que existe una relación directa entre la accidentalidad y factores sociodemográficos como ser hombre, ser joven y soltero. Los hombres tienden a usar más la motocicleta como medio de transporte para el cumplimiento de actividades laborales y sociales, además, suelen conducir a mayor velocidad y bajo el efecto de sustancias psicoactivas o alcohol(22,23).…”

Introducción: Acorde con la OMS, cada año mueren por siniestros viales aproximadamente 1,35 millones de personas en el mundo. Esta causa, específicamente el manejo de motocicleta, puede provocar lesiones secundarias de importancia para la salud pública dadas las afecciones en el desempeño ocupacional, social y familiar, convirtiéndose en una carga para el sistema de salud por la progresión a condición crónica. Objetivo: describir las lesiones físicas más frecuentes en la población del Meta accidentada en moto en los años 2017 y 2018. Materiales y métodos: estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo, de corte transversal basado en fuentes de datos disponibles en registros de 2017 y 2018 de la Junta Regional de Calificación de Invalidez del Meta. Resultados: se revisaron 1114 registros de historias de siniestros viales en motocicleta durante el periodo 2017-2018. El 78,46% de los lesionados y siniestros fueron en población masculina, del cual el 61,58% presentó estado civil soltero, con un nivel académico de educación secundaria el 60,95%. El 75,22% de los accidentes se produjo en zona urbana, la lesión más frecuente fractura con 79,98%, zona con mayor afectación miembros inferiores 40,48% y el hueso más lesionado tibia 17,24%. Conclusiones: el estudio coincide con lo encontrado en otros a nivel nacional e internacional. Se evidenció mayor accidentalidad en la población masculina, y la necesidad de investigaciones que incluya indicadores epidemiológicos, factores de riesgo, tiempo de hospitalización, intensidad de intervenciones terapéutica, con el fin de caracterizar de una manera más amplia la población.
