Safety of individual mobility vehicles

Abstract

The article discusses the current safety indicators of users of personal mobility equipment (SIM), as well as methods of protecting their life and health in traffic conditions. In recent years, these vehicles have been gaining more and more popularity in our country and the number of people using them is growing. However, in this regard, ensuring their safety is becoming an increasing problem. SIM users belong to the category of vulnerable road users, because getting into an accident turns out to have much more serious consequences for them than for motorists. The causes of accidents can be subjective and objective. It is most expedient to deal with the former by increasing the general level of driving culture and improving the rules of the road. To combat the latter, it is necessary to apply special engineering solutions or use personal protective equipment.
