Abstract

There is growing recognition of the importance of a well-connected cycling infrastructure. Common connectivity measures apply aggregate area-based metrics, such as the number of streets per transportation analysis zone or census area. However, such measures capture cyclist movement insufficiently, as cyclist movement easily extends beyond areas, and variations in the sizes and shapes of areas lead to inconsistent outcomes. In contrast to area-based connectivity, network connectivity considers the connectivity of the entire cycling network, capturing the continuity or discontinuity of routes. Certain measures can account for other important aspects, such as topology and the relative importance of individual links in large networks. Although previous reviews have covered several aspects of cycling infrastructure, no review has been dedicated to the measures, methods and models applied to assess network connectivity or the impact of increased network connectivity on cycling behaviour. We conduct a scoping review of measures, methods, models, and data sources to assess cycling network connectivity and review associations between network connectivity and travel behaviour. The findings suggest an increase in the number of publications on network connectivity up to 2019, followed by a plateau in the number of studies but with more complex methods. However, that complexity may constitute a barrier to practical implementation. We conclude that empirical verifications regarding the effects of network connectivity on travel behaviour remain a research gap, even in high-cycling countries, with evidence further limited by limited link-level travel data. Future research should also focus on developing more consistent and validated metrics.

自行车网络连通性及其对自行车运动影响的范围研究
人们越来越认识到四通八达的自行车基础设施的重要性。常见的连通性衡量标准采用基于区域的综合指标,例如每个交通分析区或人口普查区的街道数量。然而,这种测量方法不能充分捕捉到骑车人的运动情况,因为骑车人的运动很容易超出区域范围,而且区域大小和形状的差异也会导致结果不一致。与基于区域的连通性不同,网络连通性考虑的是整个自行车网络的连通性,体现的是路线的连续性或不连续性。某些衡量标准可以考虑其他重要方面,如拓扑结构和大型网络中单个链接的相对重要性。尽管之前的综述涵盖了自行车基础设施的多个方面,但还没有综述专门针对评估网络连通性的措施、方法和模型,或增加网络连通性对骑车行为的影响。我们对评估自行车网络连通性的措施、方法、模型和数据源进行了范围界定,并审查了网络连通性与出行行为之间的关联。研究结果表明,截至 2019 年,有关网络连通性的出版物数量有所增加,随后研究数量趋于平稳,但研究方法更加复杂。然而,这种复杂性可能会成为实际实施的障碍。我们的结论是,有关网络连通性对出行行为影响的实证验证仍是一个研究空白,即使在高循环国家也是如此。未来的研究还应侧重于开发更一致、更有效的衡量标准。

期刊介绍: Transport Reviews is an international journal that comprehensively covers all aspects of transportation. It offers authoritative and current research-based reviews on transportation-related topics, catering to a knowledgeable audience while also being accessible to a wide readership. Encouraging submissions from diverse disciplinary perspectives such as economics and engineering, as well as various subject areas like social issues and the environment, Transport Reviews welcomes contributions employing different methodological approaches, including modeling, qualitative methods, or mixed-methods. The reviews typically introduce new methodologies, analyses, innovative viewpoints, and original data, although they are not limited to research-based content.
