Abstract
In order to reach the goals of sustainable development and reducing the CO2 emission, the development of green transportation had been a most popular strategy all around the world.Bicycle is one of the green transportation with the characteristics of healthy, environmentally friendly, energy efficient, pollution-free, low cost and high mobility. For this reason, authorities began to plan and promote bikeways actively, to attract the use of bicycles.In Taiwan, the present bicycle network is mainly constructed along with the recreational spots. The commuter-type bikeway only spread sporadic, and there is lack of a systemic network of the commuter-type bikeway to provide diverse functions. It is important to install the bicycle network comprehensively. A complete and safe bicycle network can raise the usage and lead to a successful strategy, and most important, a commuter-type bicycle network in necessary. This study established an urban bicycle route planning model to provide a recommendation of constructing a urban bikeway in the future.
According to the researches of the planning of bikeway in Taiwan, the conclusions are mostly described in words, and there is no any research deal with two-dimensional problem and demonstrate the result in two-dimensional.
This study performed the two-dimensional data by Geographic Information System (GIS), which is available to create, access, management and analysis the data for the planning steps.This research attempted to establish a bicycle suitability index and six major assessment criteria are considered according to the previous researches, including the traffic volume, outer-lane width, effective width of the pedestrian space, speed limit, pavement quality and disturbance from road side. The interviewing expert and Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process were used to derive the weight of each criterion, and the rating process was established according to the weight and the survey result.
The comprehensive assessment result was performed in the bicycle map by GIS, and according to the assessment result, the shortest path route algorithm was used to link each bicycle activity nodes in the optimal situation, and this model is also capable to realize the section with low assessment values, and provide the recommendation in traffic engineering and management aspects.
