Bike Infrastructure Planning Based On Mobile-Sourced Data and Anticipated Route Shifts
This project will develop tools to answer critical questions towards supporting bike lanes: if we build a new bike lane, how many bikers will use and benefit from it? How does the addition of bike lanes on specific roads affect transportation accessibility? Where should we build bike lanes to best improve equitable accessibility? In the past, it has been difficult to answer these questions due to limited data on biking travel patterns, but the recent NS616 MnDOT project that estimated bike volumes from mobile-sourced data has created new opportunities to quantify bike lane benefits.
