“…Each research group has defined PMV differently. Kim et al ( 1 ) defined PMV as a “personal low-speed means of transportation using electricity as the main/auxiliary power source.” Han et al ( 2 ) defined PMV as a “new concept of electricity-powered transportation for one person.” On the other hand, there have been studies that defined PMV as “a means of transportation mainly powered by electricity for one or two persons” based on the number of people available for boarding and the power source ( 3 – 6 ). In addition to the number of passengers and power sources, there were also studies that defined PMV driving distance.…”

“…Further, before the revision of the regulations, PMVs were allowed to be driven only on roadways. However, most PMV users did not follow the regulations, and there were many accidents involving PMVs ( 1 , 2 ). Based on these issues, numerous studies raised the need for revision of the regulations related to PMVs ( 3–5 , 18 , 19 ).…”

“…On the other hand, “last-mile” and “business travel in urban areas” declined significantly after using them. Kim et al ( 1 ) investigated patterns of riding bicycles and PMVs on the roadway and wearing a helmet, based on survey results. According to the survey, PMV users traveled shorter distances than bicycle users, and PMV users drove along pedestrian paths more frequently than bicycle users.…”

Personal mobility vehicles (PMVs) are the potential future travel mode, typically for “first-mile and last-mile trips,” in urban areas. Accordingly, the popularity of PMVs is increasing, and the purpose of using PMVs is diversifying in South Korea. Before revision of the law concerning PMVs, the driving ways and roads for PMVs were not defined by regulations in South Korea. Therefore, most PMV users preferred to drive on sidewalks and bicycle lanes to avoid collisions with larger vehicles. Furthermore, PMVs have been involved in many accidents. To solve these problems, the government of South Korea revised the Road Traffic Act to permit PMVs to travel on bicycle lanes and considered building a new type of lane for PMVs based on the results of field experiments conducted in this study. In these experiments, the minimum turning radius with various speeds, driving performance on roads with vertical alignments, lateral placements in curved sections were examined. In addition, conflicts and inconvenience of PMVs driving on bicycle lanes were tested. In the experiments, three different types of PMVs—electric scooter (e-scooter), electric unicycle (e-unicycle), and segway—were used. Through the experiments, the feasibility of using PMVs on bicycle lanes was assessed, and the design criteria for PMV lanes were derived.
