Abstract:

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, an increasing number of people prefer individual single-track vehicles for urban transport. Long-range super-lightweight small electric vehicles are preferred due to the rising cost of electricity. It is difficult for new researchers and experts to obtain information on the current state of solutions in addressing the issues described within the Smart Cities platform. The research on the current state of the development of long-range super-lightweight small electric vehicles for intergenerational urban E-mobility using intelligent infrastructure within Smart Cities was carried out with the prospect of using the information learned in a pilot study. The study will be applied to resolving the traffic service of the Poruba city district within the statutory city of Ostrava in the Czech Republic. The main reason for choosing this urban district is the fact that it has the largest concentration of secondary schools and is the seat of the VŠB-Technical University of Ostrava. The project investigators see secondary and university students as the main target group of users of micro-mobility devices based on super-lightweight and small electric vehicles.
