Abstract	The article is devoted to the study of urban environment quality and safety for vulnerable road users (VRU) on city streets. The modern trend of smart cities is a variety of transport modes for people living in them and the development of an active mobility. When pedestrians, cyclists and e-scooter riders meet on pedestrian walkways, dangerous conflict situations between all users may occur. The purpose of the study is to develop an approach to the organization of land use in order to solve this problem. A two-stage research model is proposed which includes field surveys of transit traffic conditions with a different ratio of pedestrians, cyclists and e-scooter riders, as well as the application of modern biometrics technologies to determine comfortable conditions for the movement of a mixed stream through analyzing the gaze behavior and the physiological reactions of all VRU. According to the research results, numerical characteristics of traffic conditions have been obtained that can serve as a justification for the selection of a street land use planning solution. The study suggests three types of street land design for organizing the movement of all vulnerable road users – mixed traffic, partially separated traffic and completely separated traffic, depending on the calculated values of the intensity and density of the flow of active mobility users. The solutions allow improving the quality of the built environment and contributes to the sustainable development of a smart city as a comfortable and safe environment for all VRU. © 2023 American Institute of Physics Inc..
