The operation of Active Mobility Devices (AMDs) such as electric scooters (e-scooters) and bikes (e-bikes) on shared paths results in regular interactions AMD riders with pedestrians cyclists.

Logistic Regression used select most important behavioural psychological linked value odds ratio calculated based selected optimal model determine extent which variation each feature affects perceived collision.The analysis suggests that who regularly brake hard avoid obstacles consider ability carry goods highly important, face an increase by 49.1% 43.48% respectively. E-bikers prefer makes less noise 33.31% lower compared those are indifferent made device. Additionally, feel for more traffic enforcement officers slow down when overtaking 20.69% 38.84% respectively do not need.
