Implementing a bicycle route choice model into a metropolitan transport network

This paper explores the previous issues of bicyclist considerations in demand planning and infrastructure considerations for future year network analysis. A methodology that incorporates stated and revealed preferences amongst cyclists produces an understanding of sensitivities in design considerations for these journeys when benchmarked against other modes of transport. This process discusses a revised algorithm to understand the choice considerations derived by cyclists across an urban network. The cyclist examinations into route choice sets are derived from a combination of infrastructure design and safety considerations. These key measures have been implemented in a VISUM network for transport modelling and analysis to complement the public and private facilities. This network analysis process allows for examination of managing the needs and requirements of future infrastructure and operational directions in order to prioritise the competing complexities. The end results fall in line with the solutions whereby cities such as Portland benchmark for sustainable urban growth options.
