Speed and lateral position dataset from cyclists and e-scooter riders on an experimental test track

This dataset contains speed and lateral position data of micromobility users while negotiating horizontal curves with a radius of 5 m and different deflection angles. Data were collected on a 200-m-long test track consisting of a dedicated bike lane.

For each user and curve, speed and lateral position were recorded at five characteristic points along the curve:

• Point of Curvature (PC);
• Intermediate Point 1 (INT1);
• Midpoint (MP);
• Intermediate Point 2 (INT2); and
• Point of Tangency (PT).

Each user completed five individual observations. A repeatability analysis was conducted to select the most representative observation for each user. Repeatability was quantified using the user-specific repeatability ratio (Ratio_u), defined as the ratio between intra-user and inter-user variability.

The deflection angle of each curve is as follows:

• Curve 1: 90°
• Curve 2: 45°
• Curve 3: 30°
• Curve 4: 75°
• Curve 5: 105°
• Curve 6: 30°
• Curve 7: 60°
• Curve 8: 75°

The dataset includes the following variables:

• Type of user (ToU): bicycle or scooter.
• Direction of turn (ToC): right or left.
• Curve ID: curve identifier (1–8).
• Gender: male or female.
• Ratio: user-specific repeatability ratio (Ratio_u), defined as the ratio between intra-user and inter-user variability.
• Repeatability method: method used to select the representative observation (mean, median, or closest_to_centroid).
• Measure: variable reported, where V represents speed (km/h) and d represents lateral position (cm).
