e-SAFE (Equity, Social determinants, Anti-social behaviour, Future E-mobility) will evaluate factors influencing road safety and e-mobility users by identifying anti-social behaviours and road safety risks and examine how these risks are distributed amongst different user groups (i.e. young adults, gig-economy workers etc). Focusing on the West Yorkshire region, the project will assess the challenge around safe e-mobility by quantifying road safety risks and identifying high activity locations.
