N2  - Between 1977 and 1990, mopeds in the city and county of Honolulu have more than tripled in number. There has also been a significant increase in the number of collisions involving mopeds. Using GIS tools and police crash reports for 1990, we describe the spatial and temporal patterns of moped collisions, identify the major causes and circumstances of these collisions, and identify the characteristics of moped riders involved in collisions. Our analysis demonstrates a spatial concentration around the University of Hawaii and tourist destinations. We compare resident and nonresident involvement in moped collisions. Based on these results, we provide several suggestions for improving moped safety among both residents and visitors.<p />
