The Danish Road Directorate sponsored a study to develop methods for objectively quantifying pedestrian and bicyclist stated satisfaction with road sections between intersections. The results provide a measure of how well urban and rural roads accommodate pedestrian and bicycle travel. To determine how existing traffic operations, geometric conditions, and other variables affect pedestrians' and bicyclists' satisfaction, 407 randomly selected Danes were shown video clips from 56 roadway…

Defining Bicycle Levels of Service Criteria Using Levenberg–Marquardt and Self-organizing Map Algorithms

It was observed that most of the studied segments are offering average to worst kind of services at their present-day conditions, and the influencing variables should be largely prioritized in the planning process to achieve better service levels efficiently.
