Modeling of Bicycle Route and Destination Choice Behavior for Bicycle Road Network Plan

A new modeling method that describes bicycle route or destination choice behavior is presented. Although there are numerous bicycle users in Japan, the urban transportation planning process often treats bicycles and pedestrians as a single mode. Therefore, a methodology by which to evaluate and analyze bicycle demand needs to be developed. A bicycle route choice model that describes the relationship between route choice behavior and facility characteristics (e.g., road width or sidewalk) has been proposed. This model can be applied to the planning of bicycle road networks. The data from a bicycle trip survey conducted in Japan are used to study the characteristics of the model. The model is applied to study access railway station choice (destination choice). The model can produce a better fit than can a conventional model.

The Method to Revise Traffic Data Using Mini Person Trip Survey Data

By Kazuhiko SATO, Atsushi FUKUDA, Tetsuro HYODO, Yuichi MOHRI, Yuichi SUGANO and Takeo FUKUHARA Every ten years, Person Trip Survey in the Tokyo metropolitan region is being investigated. However, because there was a great demand for renewing the latest data, another smaller P.T. investigation has been done as its interim survey applying the smaller number of samples compared with the regular investigation done every ten years.In this study, using data from the both investigations, the method to revise traffic data is demonstrated based on comparing the traffic characteristics between these two times investigations.
