Abstract

This paper intends to present the development of the Improved Bicycle Lane Engineered Scoring System (iBLESS). The iBLESS consists of a numerical ranking table that compares traffic volume data; speed limit; number of lanes; road width; presence of the vehicle parking; presence of night street light; road grade; overall travel length; and presence of existing bicycle lanes that is utilized to design and map the optimum achievable locations for the implementation of bicycle lanes. The City of Tyler, Texas, is utilizing the iBLESS to design a Hub-and-Spoke bicycle lane network around the city. The current map design utilizing the iBLESS is comprised of eleven bicycle spokes, and seven bicycle spoke-connections, reaching a total distance of over 55 miles (88.5km) of bicycle lanes. The presence of bicycle lanes will extend throughout the entire city, resulting in the introduction of a new mode of transportation to the City of Tyler. Results indicate that the iBLESS is a simple and useful methodology to compare and analyze roads for bicycle lane development. Since this system selects the optimal road candidates, the bicycle users feel more comfortable using bicycle lanes as opposed to riding in a roadway.

改进了自行车道测绘工程计分系统
本文介绍了改进的自行车道工程评分系统(iBLESS)的开发。iBLESS包括一个比较交通量数据的数值排名表;速度限制;车道数;道路宽度;车辆停车场的存在;夜路灯的存在;道路等级;总行程长度;并利用现有自行车道的存在来设计和绘制自行车道实施的最佳可实现位置。德克萨斯州泰勒市正在利用iBLESS在城市周围设计一个轮辐式自行车道网络。目前使用iBLESS的地图设计由11个自行车辐条和7个自行车辐条连接组成,总长度超过55英里(88.5公里)的自行车道。自行车道的存在将延伸到整个城市,从而为泰勒市引入一种新的交通方式。结果表明,iBLESS是一种简便、有效的道路对比分析方法。由于该系统选择了最优的候选道路,因此自行车使用者使用自行车道比在道路上骑行更舒适。
