Cycling impedance represents the relative difficulty of\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003Ecycling and considers travel time, exposure to automobiles, hills, and the provision of cycling\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003Einfrastructure. With map-matched cycling GPS traces from CycleAtlanta, this research calibrates\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003Ecycling impedance functions using particle swarm optimization. The calibrated impedance functions\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003Eare applied to a 250-square-mile Metro Atlanta study area network to assess the impact of 38\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003Eplanned bicycle facilities on 3.6 million trips from the Atlanta Regional Commission Activity-Based\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003EModel. Five metrics, trip impedance reduction, percent detour, change in link betweenness\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003Ecentrality, impedance reduction contribution, and bikesheds highlight the impedance reduction\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003Eimpacts of new cycling infrastructure. Planners, engineers, and advocacy groups can utilize the\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003Eframework to evaluate proposed cycling infrastructure and prioritize projects that stand to reduce\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003Ethe most cycling impedance. As new cycling trace data and network data become available,\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003Eresearchers can update the impedance functions to reflect the behavior of current cyclists and\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003Edevelop new impedance factors.\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EUSING CHANGES IN REVEALED IMPEDANCE TO ASSESS THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF NEW CYCLING INFRASTRUCTURE USING BIKEWAYSIM\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"USING CHANGES IN REVEALED IMPEDANCE TO ASSESS THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF NEW CYCLING INFRASTRUCTURE USING BIKEWAYSIM"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2024-11-04 18:16:15","changed_gmt":"2024-11-04 18:17:48","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2024-11-15T12:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2024-11-15T15:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2024-11-15T15:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2024-11-15 17:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2024-11-15 20:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2024-11-15 20:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Room 1104, 215 Sage St, Davis, CA  and ZOOM","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
