Abstract

The article is devoted to assessing urban infrastructure for the movement of personal mobility devices (PMDs) using the city of Belgorod as a case study. The paper presents the results of an analysis of the city's central area, which enabled a quantitative assessment of the length of routes available for three transport categories: public transport, private motor vehicles, and PMDs. The study revealed that PMDs have access to the most extensive network of movement routes, including sidewalks, pedestrian paths, and bicycle lanes. The dynamics of PMD usage were examined across three city districts-northern, central, and southern-by day of the week and time intervals (morning, afternoon, evening). Based on field experiments, the widespread use of PMDs for trips up to 5 km (last-mile transport) was confirmed, with approximately 2,500 shared PMD units operating in the city supported by a distributed network of charging stations. The findings demonstrate the high transport potential of PMDs and their significant role in shaping sustainable and accessible urban mobility.
