Simulating Bike-Transit Trips Using BikewaySim and TransitSim

Research Product Type
Research Report
Planners and engineers need to know how to assess the impacts of proposed cycling infrastructure projects to select those with the greatest potential impact on cycling safety. This research uses the BikewaySim cycling shortest path model and shows how it can be used to both examine the current cycling network and show changes in accessibility likely to result from new infrastructure.
