Abstract:
This study investigated the potential factors affecting the injury severity of shared electric bike (e-bike) riders and analyzed potential heterogeneity using a dataset comprising of 1 343 shared e-bike insurance accidents recorded by a shared e-bike company as the research object. The injury severity was categorized into two levels: not injured and injured. Twelve independent variables were selected based on six aspects involving attributes of shared e-bike rider, vehicle, road, environment, time, and accident. The effects of different factors on the injury severity of shared e-bike riders were assessed using the random parameter logit model with heterogeneity in means. Results indicate that the variable 'other traffic participants at fault' in the accident scenarios featured a random parameter that adhered to a normal distribution and exhibited mean heterogeneity. This increased the likelihood of injury among shared e-bike riders. However, the probability of injury decreased when the scenario involved both the variable ' other traffic participants at fault ' and component damage. The variables female, intact road surface, dry road pavement, nighttime, single-vehicle accidents, and both at-fault accidents could increase the injury probability among shared electric bike riders to varying degrees. The findings of this research provide a theoretical basis for the development of traffic safety strategies targeted at shared electric bike riders. © 2023 Southeast University. All rights reserved.
