Cyclist Movement Surveys
Surveys can be conducted to determine bicycle volume, classification, duration and path.
- Bicycle mode counts can categorise riders based upon age and gender or other points of interest
- Origin-destination of cyclists can be determined using one or several techniques:
- GPS tracking
- Bluetooth or WiFi tracking
- Interviews/questionnaires
- Parking duration or accumulation of bikes at facilities such as:
- Rail stations
- Shopping centres
- Modal interchanges
- Sporting grounds
- Turning Movements studies to determine the number of cyclists and their movements at:
- Intersections
- Midblock
- At other road crossing points of interest
- Utilisation audits to determine patronage, track and tail counts.
- Count of bikes at specific locations.
- Queue delay or queue length of bikes at
- Rail crossings
- Road intersections/crossings
- Pedestrians crossings
- Tram or bus stops
- Other points of interest
- Trip purpose, next mode choice (i.e. public transport, walking, car).
- Parking facilities, safety perceptions, accident history
- Speed of cyclist on and off road, especially joint use pathways
- Travel times
- Headway and gap acceptance of bikes and cars - can a cyclist cross a road in a reasonable time? Can a pedestrian ?
- Time delay experienced by cyclist at various interface points
