摘要

It is proposed that personal mobility vehicles as a new category of transportation device offer several potential benefits to solve the current problems, such as elderly with mobility issues, downtown area revitalization, and development of low-carbon transport. This paper aims to explore basic attitude of the general public to understand how people think about three-wheeled personal mobility vehicles. Using a unique survey data of i-REAL conducted in Toyota, a comparative analysis are discussed by employing Semantic Differential Method. Moreover, textual data derived from the survey are classified by applying text mining. Furthermore, conclusions are drawn and suggestions for further work are made.
