A System for Assessing the LOS Given to e-Moped in Mixed Traffic Based on Frequency Adoption
摘要
Micro mobility, such as electric mopeds (e-mopeds), is gaining acceptance and popularity in urban areas, particularly for last-mile connectivity. However, there is no mechanism to assess the level of service (LOS) offered to them. With the growing popularity of e-mopeds, the LOS required by them should be taken into consideration when designing transportation infrastructure. Therefore, this study has been done to address this gap by developing a novel LOS framework for e-mopeds and assessing the current LOS offered to them. The developed framework is applied to a case study of Delhi. The findings of this study reveal that the interaction between the e-moped and a faster vehicle, which can impact the ease of driving the e-moped, is 1.5 veh/sec. This indicates that the LOS situation for the specified length is normal. Further, the developed LOS framework can be utilized to evaluate the LOS of e-mopeds in other cities.
