“…Speed of vehicles involved in a collision is clearly related to injury severity (AASHTO, 2010), but severe injuries may be less frequent on roads with higher traffic volumes (Klop & Khattak, 1999). Nordback et al (2014) found that in Boulder, CO, higher traffic volumes of both motorized vehicles and bicycles reduce cyclist crash rates (i.e. less than linear increase in crashes) at intersections.…”

“…By how much, however, is difficult to quantify, because studies on safety risks treat intersections and road segments as separate entities (Moore, Schneider, Savolainen, & Farzaneh, 2011;Nordback et al, 2014;Reynolds, Harris, Teschke, Cripton, & Winters, 2009). …”

“…In the so-called safety performance functions (AASHTO, 2010), both cycling and motorized traffic can be considered (Elvik, 2009), but to date, this is not being done routinely for cycling (Nordback, Marshall, & Janson, 2014).…”

Cycling as a Part of Daily Life: A Review of Health Perspectives

Health aspects of day-to-day cycling have gained attention from the health sector aiming to increase levels of physical activity, and from the transport and planning sector, to justify investments in cycling. We review and discuss the main pathways between cycling and health under two perspectives -generalizable epidemiological evidence for health effects and specific impact modeling to quantify health impacts in concrete settings. Substantial benefits from physical activity dominate the public health impacts of cycling. Epidemiological evidence is strong and impact modeling is well advanced. Injuries amount to a smaller impact on the population level, but affect crash victims disproportionately and perceived risks deter potential cyclists. Basic data on crash risks are available, but evidence on determinants of risks is limited and impact models are highly dependent on local factors. Risks from air pollution can be assumed to be small, with limited evidence for cycling-specific mechanisms. Based on a large body of evidence, planners, health professionals, and decision-makers can rest assured that benefits from cycling-related physical activity are worth pursuing. Safety improvements should be part of the efforts to promote cycling, both to minimize negative impacts and to lower barriers to cycling for potential riders.

“…Bicycle planners and engineers need to incorporate injury prevention approaches so the benefits of increased bicycle use are not undone by increases in injury (Pollack et al, 2012). While there has been a relative proliferation in bicycle-related research in recent years, there is still a need for better data (Nordback, Marshall, & Janson, 2014) and an evidence base for interventions that effectively and safely provide comfortable bicycling environments (Pollack et al, 2012). There is also a need for theoretical foundations and conceptual frameworks that simultaneously consider bicyclingspecific travel behavior (e.g.…”

“…crashes per mile traveled, crashes per person-trip, etc) are necessary to better understand the magnitude of the problem and the contributing factors to crashes (Harris et al, 2011). Exposure data are robust for automobile users, but poor for bicyclists (Nordback et al, 2014). The primary nationally-comparable source for travel data is the National Household Travel Survey (NHTS).…”

Drivers' Attitudes and Behaviors Toward Bicyclists: Intermodal Interactions and Implications for Road Safety

Road safety concerns are a legitimate concern when promoting increased bicycle use. Currently, bicyclist traffic fatalities and injuries present both a public health concern and a disincentive to people taking up or continuing to bicycle for transportation. Bicycling is not an inherently a dangerous activity; automobile drivers pose the most risk of harm in crashes with bicyclists. Despite that, drivers' attitudes and behaviors toward bicyclists have not enjoyed much systematic study, particularly in the United States. This research explored the dimensions of drivers' attitudes toward bicyclists, including implicit bias and social attitudes, and examined the relationships between these attitudes and drivers' self-reported behaviors. The online survey included a cognitive test of respondents' implicit preference between drivers and bicyclists. The research questions are detailed in extends the analysis to drivers' self-report behaviors, and how demographics, individual travel behavior, attitudes, and the built environment predict drivers' behaviors related to bicyclist safety. The dissertation concludes with a discussion of the contribution to the literature on driver attitudes and behaviors, and the implications for both practice and research.ii Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to my parents, for providing me with all the opportunities in the world; my sister for her support and, when needed, tough love; and my niece, for whom I wish the brightest and happiest future.iii Acknowledgments
