Analysis of ebike dynamics and cyclists' anxiety levels and interactions with road vehicles that influence safety

This study suggests that dense traffic in the afternoon and the demands of riding a bike in complex traffic conditions result in a higher mental workload even though cyclists slowed down their speeds. Furthermore, the majority reported perceived risks of cycling on a shared road with other vehicles regardless of the demographic differences. The findings from this study can be used as a framework for the development of active safety features for ebikes.PMID:34214914 | DOI:10.1016/j.aap.2021.106272
