SAE Update - October 2024 - 31
TECH FOCUS:
URBAN MOBILITY AND UAM
system that defines six types of powered
micromobility vehicles by physical attributes. The
standard provides a much-needed way to define and
classify these emerging vehicles, which has been used
by city and state policymakers.
Published in 2021, SAE J3230, Kinematic
Performance Metrics for Powered Standing Scooters,
normalizes kinematic performance metrics for
powered standing scooters, recognizing that such
metrics (e.g., top speed, acceleration, deceleration)
are important classification criteria for these vehicles.
These recommended practices help the industry by
providing practicable vehicle-level, performancebased
metrics and standardized test methods and
conditions to evaluate safety and performance of
powered standing scooters.
Lastly, the committee just recently passed SAE
J3272, Powered Micromobility Vehicle Identification,
which is intended to provide an alpha-numeric
identifier of powered micromobility vehicles to be
used to promote uniformity and comparability in
safety data. This standard will aid in accurate crash
and injury data collection (e.g., emergency room and
law enforcement reporting) and support vehicle
identification for safety research and analysis.
Together, these standards and additional topics the
committee is exploring will help the micromobility
industry and policymakers support this emerging
class of vehicles to grow as a practical form of urban
mobility, while ensuring safety of all users. n
