Abstract:In one sense, a city’s or region’s bicycling network includes all of its roads and paths on which bicycling is permitted. However, some streets provide such a poor level of safety and comfort for bicycling that the majority of the population considers them unsuitable for bicycling. This research had two primary objectives:
1. Propose and test the practicality of a new way to define the bicycle network – that is, as the set of streets and paths that people consider acceptably safe for bicycling.
2. Develop metrics for low-stress connectivity, or the ability of a network to connect travelers’ origins to their destinations without subjecting them to unacceptably stressful links.
