• Abstract:
  This report describes the use of an AcciMap to analyze a fatal e-scooter collision in Nashville, TN—the first time this methodology has been applied to a collision involving an e-scooter and the second time it has been applied to an event involving a micromobility device. In addition, this project demonstrates that an AcciMap can be successfully applied using public data sources commonly available to transportation safety professionals. This example of a systems thinking tool provides a set of methods to help tangibly realize a Safe System approach and inform a more holistic and systems-based understanding of crash incidents, as well as potential opportunities for intervention.
