Description
E-scooters have been supplementing the mobility options in Switzerland for some years now. Young e-scooter users may be at particular risk of accidents at night. The aim of the research team is to investigate risky driving behavior and psychological factors in the decision to use e-scooters among young drivers (especially in the dark and possibly under the influence of alcohol) and to derive possible preventive measures.
