TMS Consultancy has launched a new free e-learning course exploring the use of e-scooters on the highway.
The course provides information on the legislation relating to the use of e-scooters on the highway, as well as a review of existing literature on the Government e-scooter trials.
It is available to access via the TMS Consultancy website.
The course includes three workshops; the first workshop will require participants to sift through the DFT e-scooter factsheets and pluck out the relevant information.
The other two workshops will encourage participants to consider the current advantages and disadvantages of e-scooters, and what someone in road safety/highways engineering would suggest for the future of e-scooters.
The main objective of this short course is to provide information on multiple key areas surrounding use of e-scooters on the highway.
It focuses on the following key areas:
- What are e-scooters and what do we know about them?
- What are the current perceptions of e-scooters in the UK?
- A review of the existing literature on Government e-scooters trials in the UK.
- Collision and casualty statistics of e-scooters
- Safety concerns in Europe, Australia and UK.
- What are the pros and cons of e-scooters?
- What does the future hold for e-scooters?
The course should take approximately one hour to complete.
