“…Some cities use data to better target promotion materials so that new users can be encouraged to use bicycles, to suggest the location of bike-sharing stations, or even to help the bike-sharing operators to improve [24]. Cities also use these data to help determine problems in the infrastructure and to calculate the risk of cycling [25]. The data gathered were used to determine where people are cycling.…”

According to the United Nations, cities will represent two-thirds of the world's population in 2050, which presents some challenges, especially to the transportation sector. To improve the population's quality of life and the sustainability of cities, mobility must be sustainable, and cycling will play an important role in achieving this. Literature shows that we can promote cycling with better infrastructures, through multimodality, and through behavioral changes. Promoting the use of bicycles through behavior can involve a number of aspects, but in this work, we explore what a digital platform should have in order to promote and increase bicycle usage, as well as to improve cycling conditions in a city. To evaluate what is needed, we conducted an analysis on different types of digital platforms that are available on the market in order to assess the main characteristics and outputs that they provide to cyclists, as well as the type of information that can and should be added to promote the use of bicycles in cities. Moreover, we also carried out a survey in a Portuguese mid-sized "starter cycling city", which showed, among other data, the relevance and type of information that a digital platform dedicated to cyclists should have in such types of cities.

“…Firstly, regarding the actual safety of cyclists along a given route, we should mention the following: According to Kaplan and Prato [5] high traffic volume increases the number of road accidents significantly. Strauss et al [6] note that the probability of road crashes is considerably higher in arterial roads. Furthermore, Pulugurtha and Thakur [7] argue that increased speed levels result in higher number of road crashes.…”

Exploring Motivators and Deterrents of Cycling Tourism Using Qualitative Social Research Methods and Participative Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)

Cycling tourism is an environmentally friendly way to explore a destination. Nowadays, it is becoming more and more popular worldwide, since it permits an in-depth communication both with nature and people. In this context, the aim of this paper is to explore, in detail, mainly the environmental motivators of cycling tourists, and their significance, in Greece, by using qualitative social research (in-depth interviews and focus groups) and participative analytical hierarchical process. The results show that regarding physical environment, the element which attracts cycle tourists the most is the variety of scenic views along their route. Existence of lakes, rivers and beaches were also valued. On the contrary, “Biodiversity” and “Untouched natural landscapes” were ranked low as a description of the quality of the natural environment. However, the rise of cycling tourism depends considerably on the appropriate infrastructure, namely roads with low slopes, appropriate quality of surfaces and cycling infrastructure. Planners, policy-makers, and competent authorities should give emphasis on the critical factors in order to enhance cycling tourism, thus resulting in positive multiplying effects such as environmental protection and economic growth.

“…For example, [30] investigates bicycle risk by analyzing GPS traces, calculating incident rates through simple odds ratios, and concluding that crash risk is greatest at intersections and on roads that are in poor condition. A related research combines GPS traces with bicycle count data to infer highrisk areas for cycling injuries [31]. These analyses provide methodological frameworks and recommendations that may be useful for transportation agencies looking to design bike lanes or improve bikeshare safety.…”

Transportation agencies have an opportunity to leverage increasingly-available trajectory datasets to improve their analyses and decision-making processes. However, this data is typically purchased from vendors, which means agencies must understand its potential benefits beforehand in order to properly assess its value relative to the cost of acquisition. While the literature concerned with trajectory data is rich, it is naturally fragmented and focused on technical contributions in niche areas, which makes it difficult for government agencies to assess its value across different transportation domains. To overcome this issue, the current paper explores trajectory data from the perspective of a road transportation agency interested in acquiring trajectories to enhance its analyses. The paper provides a literature review illustrating applications of trajectory data in six areas of road transportation systems analysis: demand estimation, modeling human behavior, designing public transit, traffic performance measurement and prediction, environment and safety. In addition, it visually explores 20 million GPS traces in Maryland, illustrating existing and suggesting new applications of trajectory data.
