However, safety concerns regarding the use of e-scooters are also rising. For example, in 2022, 1,492 casualties resulting from e-scooter-involved crashes were observed in 24 trial areas across the UK. To enhance the understanding of e-scooter riding risks, this study conducted a nationwide crash analysis using a UK dataset. It explores the spatial and environmental contexts of e-scooter crashes and the factors influencing crash severity. <em>Method:</em> A comprehensive approach, including exploratory data analysis, latent class analysis (LCA), <em>chi-square</em> test, and logistic regression model, were employed. <em>Results:</em> Findings revealed distinctive spatiotemporal patterns in e-scooter crashes compared to overall crashes, with a higher incidence in deprived communities. Three crash typologies were identified using LCA: night-time, morning, and information-deficient. Multiple demographical and environmental factors were found to influence crash severity. <em>Conclusions:</em> Compared to overall crash trends, e-scooter crashes are more prevalent in urban areas with high population density and exhibit distinct peak patterns in the afternoon. Night-time crashes in low-light conditions and morning crashes with ample daylight are two significant crash clusters. Factors such as the involvement of riders aged 45 to 65 (Odd Ratio [OR] = 1.76) or &gt; 65 (OR = 3.61), crashes occurring at late night/early morning (OR = 2.29), and rural locations (OR = 1.72) increased e-scooter crash severity compared to their respective reference groups. Moreover, highly deprived communities not only experience a higher number of e-scooter crashes but also contribute to crash severity. <em>Practical Applications</em>: This study underscores the necessity for targeted interventions, such as providing safety campaigns and training programs for older individuals and e-scooter users residing in dense urban areas. It also highlights the need for policies that address inequities, particularly through improved infrastructure and enforcement in lower-income urban areas with more e-scooter crashes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Safety Research","volume":"92 ","pages":"Pages 292-305"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143096647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This system allows hands-free driving on GPS-mapped system-compatible roads and employs a camera-based driver monitoring system and a series of escalating alerts to prompt the driver to pay close attention to the road ahead and take steering control when takeover requests are issued.
