Abstract:

The situation of road traffic safety of non-motorized vehicles remains severe, and extensive research has been conducted in China and abroad. To comprehensively analyze the research status and prospect, 448 Chinese papers and 860 English papers from 2000 to 2025 were selected from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Web of Science (WOS). Subsequently, the papers were analyzed for keyword co-occurrence and cluster by CiteSpace, and on this basis, the research hotspots and prospect were summarized. The results indicate that current research shows a significant growth trend, and primarily focuses on four areas: risk of riding behaviors, road traffic accidents, mixed traffic flow conflicts, and traffic management strategies. Future studies should expand into diverse scenarios and deepen the application of multimodal data, with methodological support of computer vision technologies and machine learning algorithms to enhance research capabilities.

Key words: non-motorized vehicles, road traffic safety, traffic accidents, traffic conflicts, co-occurrence network
