This study investigates the impact of topographical variations on the performance and safety of micromobility vehicles (MMVs) at Universiti Teknologi MARA, Campus Shah Alam (UiTM Shah Alam). Given the campus’s complex and hilly terrain, the research aims to evaluate how elevation profiles and slope gradients affect MMV navigation and safety. Through a detailed analysis of various campus paths, including their elevation changes and slope gradients, the study identifies critical risk areas and provides recommendations for optimising MMV use. Findings indicate that while some routes are relatively manageable, others present significant challenges due to steep gradients. The study concludes that selecting MMVs with advanced braking systems and motor assistance, as well as investing in supportive infrastructure, is critical for enhancing MMV effectiveness and safety. This approach will contribute to a more sustainable and efficient transport system on campus.

摘要

This study investigates the impact of topographical variations on the performance and safety of micromobility vehicles (MMVs) at Universiti Teknologi MARA, Campus Shah Alam (UiTM Shah Alam). Given the campus’s complex and hilly terrain, the research aims to evaluate how elevation profiles and slope gradients affect MMV navigation and safety. Through a detailed analysis of various campus paths, including their elevation changes and slope gradients, the study identifies critical risk areas and provides recommendations for optimising MMV use. Findings indicate that while some routes are relatively manageable, others present significant challenges due to steep gradients. The study concludes that selecting MMVs with advanced braking systems and motor assistance, as well as investing in supportive infrastructure, is critical for enhancing MMV effectiveness and safety. This approach will contribute to a more sustainable and efficient transport system on campus.
