Shifting Gears
An expertly woven history and critique of the ideas shaping transportation in the United States. Excruciating traffic jams. Struggling transit agencies. An epidemic of pedestrian fatalities. It is clear that transportation is not working in the United States and that we need to rethink our approach. In Shifting Gears, Susan Handy provides an in-depth history of the ideas embedded in American transportation policy and the emergence of new ways of thinking that could give us better transportation options. Weaving in bits of her own personal narrative, Handy gives readers a deeper and clearer understanding of our transportation system and the roots of its successes and failures. Handy covers th...
Monitoring Bicyclist and Pedestrian Travel Behavior
"TRB’s Transportation Research Circular E-C183: Monitoring Bicyclist and Pedestrian Travel and Behavior is designed to chronicle the most recent advancements in techniques and technology of active transportation monitoring. The circular identifies a selection of recent advancements in bicycle and pedestrian data monitoring pertaining to both traffic volumes and behavioral data. The circular also introduces a selection of ongoing projects expected to contribute to the field of bicycle and pedestrian data." -- Publisher's note.
Investigation of Bicycle and Pedestrian Continuous and Short Duration Count Technologies in Oregon
While motorized traffic counts are systematic and comprehensive, bicycle and pedestrian counts are often unknown or inaccurate. This research presents recommendations to increase bicycle and pedestrian count accuracy while integrating bicycle and pedestrian counting with existing ODOT traffic counting. Three bicycle counting technologies – pneumatic tubes, inductive loops and thermal cameras – were tested in a controlled environment as well as mixed traffic condition. Test results indicate that all bicycle counting technologies are adequate to count bicycles under controlled, favorable conditions. However, in mixed traffic conditions only the pneumatic tubes were able to count bicycles with less than 20% error. Bicycle counts in mixed traffic conditions with pneumatic tubes are more accurate when bicycle-specific vehicle classification schemes are used and when counting bicycle traffic within 10 feet tube length of the counting device. Two pedestrian counting technologies – passive infrared and pedestrian phase actuations – were tested and attained satisfactory results.
Assessment of Bicycle Detection Confirmation and Countdown Devices, Final Report
This research examined alternate designs for bicycle detection feedback confirmation devices. The research used quantitative data from a video review and responses from surveys to study how the information provided by the confirmation and feedback device affects the overall cycling experience. An online survey was conducted to determine comprehension rates of blue light feedback systems and countdown timers. The findings from the online survey (1,048 responses) revealed that the comprehension of the blue light detection confirmation devices by themselves was generally poor. Comprehension improved when a supplemental sign explaining the blue light was added. The countdown timer elicited high ...
