dc.description.abstractNot only is micromobility significant in passenger transportation, but also in freight transportation, albeit with a smaller scale. Differences between the dynamics of passenger and freight transportation exist such as influencing factors, cost components and mode selection criteria. Such factors are reflected on micromobility as well. Obviously, e-scooters cannot be used in macroscale freight transport like inter-city trips, but can certainly be used in urban areas for light loads. More significant than e-scooters, drones have been being used for the deliveries of small units with an increasing trend. On the other hand, there are problems with drones such as the operation cost, reluctance of the society for drone use, privacy and security. Besides e-scooters and drones, autonomous freight vehicles are expected to be significant in future for road transport. In fact, there are existing solutions in autonomous freight delivery category, namely food delivery vehicles. However, similar to the case of drones, acceptance of these vehicles by the society and security issues remain problematic, and waiting to be solved by the companies and decision-makers.
