Non-motorized mobility: terminology and classification
Abstract
The development of modern cities requires a change in approaches to the modernization of transport systems. The proven synergy between mass passenger transport and non-motorized mobility is at the heart of these approaches. However, in the field of non-motorized mobility, there is still no clear terminology and classification of devices used to facilitate and accelerate the movement of people. The article examines the existing classification systems for such devices and suggests a variant designed for a generalized classification of vehicles and types of mobility in the traffic regulations. The developed vehicle classification system is supported by appropriate terminology and definitions. Based on it, the directions of improving the traffic regulations and related legislation are determined.
