Exploring factors affecting route choice of cyclists: A novel varying-contiguity spatially lagged exogenous modeling approach | Journal of Transport and Land Use

<p>The Journal of Transport and Land Use is the leading international journal that publishes original interdisciplinary papers on the interaction of transport and land use. The Editors welcome original submissions across the globe and from a wide range of domains, including engineering, planning, modeling, behavior, economics, geography, regional science, sociology, architecture and design, network science, and complex systems.</p>

A critical element in guiding improvements and expansions to the bicycling network is to understand the route choice of cyclists, which helps identify bottlenecks in bicycle flows and substantiate the need for new #bicycle #infrastructure. This study developed a model to analyze the likelihood of a cyclist choosing a certain route based not only on the characteristics of that segment but also considering characteristics along a route...

...such as bicycle facilities, traffic control, bicycle and motorized-vehicle volumes, and different land-use zones.
