Interaction behaviour of active mobility users in shared space
Maohao Che · 2021
The first Singapore Active Mobility Bill was enacted in 2017, which allowed pedestrians, bicycles and personal mobility devices (PMDs) to share rights-ofway along the generally narrow off-road footpaths which, hitherto, have been the exclusive domain of the pedestrians.The number of crashes has increased since the space sharing scheme started.The authority regulated travelling speed from 15km/h to 10km/h on the footpaths, which did not yield an effective result in improving safety performance.This calls for research into shared footpath user behaviour.Reviewing past literature, a knowledge gap is evident regarding theorisation of interactive user behaviour in shared space.In this research, the following steps are taken to establish a framework for modelling interactive shared space behaviour
