Pilot Models for Estimating Bicycle Intersection Volumes
@article{Griswold2011PilotMF, title={Pilot Models for Estimating Bicycle Intersection Volumes}, author={Julia B. Griswold and Aditya Medury and Robert James Schneider}, journal={Transportation Research Record}, year={2011}, volume={2247}, pages={1 - 7} }
Bicycle volume data are useful for practitioners and researchers to understand safety, travel behavior, and development impacts. Several simple models of bicycle intersection volumes were developed for Alameda County, California. The models were based on 2-h bicycle counts performed at a sample of 81 intersections in the spring of 2008 and 2009. Study sites represented areas with a wide range of population density, employment density, proximity to commercial property, neighborhood income, and…

This research shows that regression models accounting for spatial autocorrelation provide a better fit to the data over the standard model and the elasticities are slightly sensitive to the approach used to account for weather.
A direct-demand model for bicycle counts: the impacts of level of service and other factors
- Business
- 2014
Model application findings indicate that segment-based levels of service show little correlation with expected counts, though such information still serves a valuable purpose in terms of evaluating cyclists’ comfort levels, and these two models may be used in combination when targeting new cycling infrastructure and improvements.
