Identifying High-Risk Built Environments for Severe Bicycling Inuries
(2017)
This study was aimed at filling part of the knowledge gap on bicycling safety in the built environment by addressing two questions. First, are built environment features and bicyclist injury severity correlated, and if so, what built environment factors most significantly relate to severe bicycling injuries? Second, do the ...
An Examination of the Impact of Commercial Parking Utilization on Cyclist Behavior in Urban Environments
(2017)
There is little research on the behavioral interaction between bicycle lanes and commercial vehicle loading zones in the United
States. These interactions are important to understand, to preempt increasing conflicts between truckers and bicyclists. In this
study, a bicycling simulator experiment examined bicycle and truck ...
Improved Safety and Efficiency of Protected/Permitted Right Turns for Bicycles in the Pacific Northwest
(2017)
Conflict between bicycles and right-turning vehicles on the approaches to intersections is a critical safety concern in urban environments. To understand the safety and operational implications of using protected-permitted right turns (PPRT), a full-scale bicycling simulator experiment was performed. The velocity and lateral ...
Guidelines for Pervious Concrete Sidewalks, Parking Lots, and Shared-Use Paths to Improve Driver, Biker, and Pedestrian Safety
(2017)
The surface frictional properties of pervious concrete (PC) slabs were evaluated by using a British Pendulum
Tester (BPT) with two different rubber sliders that represented driver and pedestrian users. The volumetric air
content at the finished surface of the slabs was quantified by image analysis to identify any ...
