Road Marking Crossing Behaviors of Electric Bicycles on Urban Road Sections

摘要

The behaviors of electric bicycles at crossroad markings that separate motorized and nonmotorized vehicles was modeled for the purpose of obtaining better traffic management measures. The probability model of nonmotorized vehicles' road marking crossing was established to estimate the crossing rate using the number of nonmotorized vehicles, the width of bicycle lanes, and the number of motorized vehicles in the adjacent lane. The results of using observed data from three typical sections indicates that the proposed model can predict the crossing rate with an error of less than 6%. The proposed model can provide information that improves urban traffic operations and safety by adding separate road marking for motorized and nonmotorized vehicles.
