Beschreibung

This book provides a comprehensive overview on micromobility, which is a mode of transportation that has become particularly popular among young people in recent years, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and supports public transport for short distances. It includes contributions by an interdisciplinary pool of authors from civil engineering, urban and regional planning, law, social sciences, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation. It demonstrates that micromobility is a developing mode of transportation and represents a service that needs to be integrated into the transportation system. The book addresses micromobility from various perspectives, making it a reference tool for researchers, transportation planners, operators, decision-makers, and policy-makers. A special focus is put on the effects of micromobility on health, the business models, and the legal status of micromobility systems, reflecting perspectives from both health sciences and social sciences.
