New transport technologies, such as electric, shared, autonomous vehicles, and micromobility, are major disruptive technologies producing drastic changes in the transport sector and the built environment. New transport technologies have been expanded rapidly in urban areas across the world. Uses of e-scooters, e-bikes, or services such as Uber or Lift have significantly impacted the urban mobility, changing travel behavior, and transport-related health determinants.
