Abstract:
This thesis reports the outcome of research on the development of an alternative method to modelling the assignment of bicycle trips in multi-modal networks. The proposed methodology considers the effects of safety (or inversely risk) on cyclists’ route choice behaviours. In developing this methodology, a survey and monitoring study of cyclists was conducted in order to gain greater understanding of cyclists’ safety perceptions, behaviours and network interactions. Based on the findings of the survey analysis a number of policy recommendations are also presented that offer insight into cycling and safety for transport planners and pohcymakers. Dublin city was used as the study area for this research.
