Intersection based innovations and cyclists’ route choice decisions in urban areas
Abstract This paper presents the background, setup, and results of a stated choice experiment investigating the influence of three different intersection based innovations on cyclists' route choice decisions. Next to commonly used route attributes, the following three intersection based innovations were investigated: ‘Flo’, a bicycle speed advice tool; ‘Schwung’, a bicycle - traffic light communication tool; and ‘BikeScout’, an intersection flashing system. The generated stated choice experiment was included in an online questionnaire that was filled out by 608 respondents who evaluated in total 3648 choice tasks. The evaluations were analyzed using a Multinomial Mixed Logit model. The model estimation results show that the commonly used route attributes (travel time, type of bicycle path facility, pavement quality level, motorized traffic speed, bicycle crowdedness, and number of traffic light intersections) have the highest influence on cyclists' route choice decisions. The impact of intersection based innovations on cyclists' route choice decisions is limited.
Highlights Most of the respondents indicated that they are not familiar with the included innovations (BikeScout and Flo/Schwung). Most respondents indicated that they understand the meaning/working of the presented innovations after looking at movie. Commonly used route attributes have the highest influence on cyclists’ route choice decisions. Impact of intersection related innovations on cyclists’ route choice decisions is limited.
