OPTIMIZATION OF A NETWORK OF BICYCLE ROUTES IN AN EXISTING TOWN

OPTIMALISATIE VAN EEN STEDELIJK FIETSROUTESTELSEL IN EEN BESTAANDE SITUATIE

It is generally known that bicyclists dislike detours. Planners of bicycle networks do not use this fact sufficiently in a systematic way. Often no method is used at all. In this paper a number of existing theories are discussed and evaluated on their usefulness. Finally a simple method is given for the optimisation of a bicycle network in an existing town structure with the help of the usual traffic planning techniques. The method takes the town structure and the relationships of the cyclists into account. It gives an opportunity to weigh priorities and to evaluate the objectives of the plan. (TRRL)
