Abstract:

In this report, an infrastructure-informed index is developed for pedestrians and bicyclists to relate the natural and built environment with its impact on perceived travel distance and time. The objective is to develop an easy-to-use metric for use at all levels, allowing transportation planners to make betterinformed decisions when planning or redeveloping a city or area. Building on similar research efforts, attributes are determined and weighted to capture the characteristics of a link, then summed to create the infrastructure-informed index for pedestrians and bicyclists, respectively. These indices are then visualized using ArcGIS mapping tools, creating a service area around specific origin or destination points to see the effective area a pedestrian or bicyclist can travel taking into account the effects of the infrastructure along the route.
