dc.description.abstract | This paper presents the results of research into the development of a decision support
tool for use in the route selection stage
of inter
-
urban cycle routes. The study initially
focuses upon designing routes for commuter and / or leisure purposes and the
differences in the routes required for each user type. The evaluation tool developed
was tri
al
led through application to differen
t
candidate route options on the Dublin to
Mullingar section of the National Cycle Network. A desk study was carried out to
develop a list of key design considerations, which was used to inform an initial
criteria matrix for the decision support tool. This
tool was tested on two candidate
route options between Dublin and Mullingar.
A survey of experts in the fields of planning, design and cycling promotion
was undertaken to identify the relative criteria weightings and tolerance thresholds for
each type of
cycle route.
The
results were then integrated into the criteria matrix
framework. The candidate route options were reclassified using the new matrix.
The results of this paper
show that safety is the highest ranked concern when
designing a cycle route fo
r either commuters or leisure cyclists. The requirements for
each differ thereafter however, resulting in a different order of impor
tance for the
criteria headings | en |
