Abstract EN
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate factors affecting e-bike involved crash and license plate use in China.
E-bike crashes data were collected from police database and completed through a telephone interview.
Noncrash samples were collected by a questionnaire survey.
A bivariate probit (BP) model was developed to simultaneously examine the significant factors associated with e-bike involved crash and e-bike license plate and to account for the correlations between them.
Marginal effects for contributory factors were calculated to quantify their impacts on the outcomes.
The results show that several contributory factors, including gender, age, education level, driver license, car in household, experiences in using e-bike, law compliance, and aggressive driving behaviors, are found to have significant impacts on both e-bike involved crash and license plate use.
Moreover, type of e-bike, frequency of using e-bike, impulse behavior, degree of riding experience, and risk perception scale are found to be associated with e-bike involved crash.
It is also found that e-bike involved crash and e-bike license plate use are strongly correlated and are negative in direction.
The result enhanced our comprehension of the factors related to e-bike involved crash and e-bike license plate use.
