It is a clean and efficient transportation mode that is well suited to many trips currently made in cars and motorcycles, particularly in inner urban areas. Besides high economic effect,flexibility, low energy consumption, non-pollution and door-to-door transportation mode, bicycle transportation is suitable for short trips transport or a feeder mode to other transportation mode. However, the government still faces difficulties while building the commuting bikeways in recent years. For this reason, this study tries to provide a guide to choice the facility types for commuting bikeways in an urban area.
First of all, this study finds that there exists a developing potential for bicycle transportation in Taipei City and the citizens of Taipei also support the bicycle strategies by reviewing and analyzing the past data. Furthermore, this study refers to the foreign warrants and experiences, analyzes the domestic road conditions, and designs the choice for the type of bicycle facilities. The framework of the choice for the type of bicycle facilities includes two items which are respectively sidewalk and roadway. Moreover, this study also suggests the arrangement of the exit of MRT underground passage on the sidewalk and some measures to perform the building of bicycle facilities. By using the choice for the type of bicycle facilities, this study selects an implemented location and networks in Taipei City. The results provide a reference to Taipei City Government for the detailed design and planning of the bicycle routes. Through the application of choice for the type of bicycle facilities, this study finds that there still has a lot space to build the bicycle facilities in Taipei.
