ESTIMATING DEMAND FOR A CYCLE-WAY NETWORK
This study examines the use of bicycles as an alternative mode of transport in Santiago, Chile. The authors consider the incorporation of a dense network of cycle-ways, fully segregated from motorized traffic, and the inclusion of adequate bicycle shelter facilities at subway, suburban train, and selected segregated bus-way stations. The authors also designed and apply a methodology that includes: 1) a review of national and international experience; 2) focus group surveys; 3) a household survey including stated preference experiments for potential bicycle users; 4) estimation of various models with this data; and 5) model applications using extra data available for all of Santiago. These results indicate that there are sectors of the city where bicycles could capture more than 10% of the trips, and that, on average, the use of bicycles could jump from its current 1.6% to approximately 5.8%. Finally, results also show clearly that trip length is a fundamental variable; therefore, land use policies geared to the development of urban sub-centers could have a major impact in the future of bicycle transport.
