contents Micro-mobility transport vehicles such as e-scooters are joining current sidewalk users and affect the safety and comfort of pedestrians as primary sidewalk users. The lack of agreed-upon metrics to quantify people's discomfort hinders shared public space safety research. We introduce perceived Time To Collision (TTC) as a potential metric of user discomfort performing controlled experiments using an e-scooter and a pedestrian moving in a hallway. The results strongly correlate the participant's reported discomfort and the perceived TTC. Therefore, TTC is a potential metric for public space users' discomfort. Since the metric only uses relative velocity and position information, it is a viable candidate for neighboring people's discomfort estimation in advanced driver assistance systems for e-scooters and PMVs. Our ongoing research extends the results to mobile robots.
