Abstract:

Cycling provides an environmentally friendly alternative mode of transportation. It improves ; urban mobility, livability, and public health, and it also helps in reducing traffic congestion and ; emissions. Cycling is gaining popularity both as a recreational activity and a means of ; transportation. Therefore, to better serve and promote bicycle transportation, there is an acute ; need to understand the route choice behavior of cyclists. ; This project explored the applicability of using space syntax theory to model cyclists’ route ; choice behavior. In addition, several bicycle-related attributes were also considered as ; influential factors affecting cyclists’ route choice. A multiple regression model was built and ; calibrated with real-world data. The results demonstrated that space syntax is a promising tool ; for modeling bicycle route choice, and cyclists’ cognitive understanding of the network ; configuration significantly influences their route choice.
