A Comparative Health And Safety Analysis Of Electric-Assist And Regular Bicycles In An On-Campus Bicycle Sharing System., Brian Casey Langford
A Comparative Health And Safety Analysis Of Electric-Assist And Regular Bicycles In An On-Campus Bicycle Sharing System., Brian Casey Langford
Doctoral Dissertations
E-bikes have emerged in recent years as a valid mode of transportation. Comparable to regular bicycles in many ways, e-bikes offer some added advantages due to the additional electric motor on the bicycle. This dissertation combines three different research efforts centered on the study of e-bikes and their inclusion in e-bike sharing systems. First, it looks at a model for e-bike sharing at the University of Tennessee and examines system operations, performance, and demand from users. It investigates the characteristics of trips using the sharing system’s fleet of regular and electric bicycles, and it describes the preferences among system users …

Can an innovative, team-based, hands-on design and construction project involving high school students change their attitudes and personal preferences for transportation to favor lower impact modes? This was the main question PSTAT (Promoting Sustainable Transportation Among Teens) sought to answer. Since the last decade, global climate change has fuelled increased development of alternative transportation modes that have lesser impact on the environment. However, society is not embracing the change with open arms. Therefore, there is a critical need for a paradigm shift, which could be especially timely for teen-aged students starting to adopt their own personal transportation preferences. By exposing …
