Reducing speed limits to create safer, lower-stress environments for cyclists is a widely proposed policy but often faces resistance due to concerns about increased travel times. This study evaluates these concerns by assessing Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) under existing speed limits (base scenario) and the effects of reducing residential street speed limits to 40 km/h and 30 km/h (alternative scenarios) on cycling LTS and car travel time.

LTS is a widely used measure of cycling stress, categorising road segments from LTS-1 (least stressful) to LTS-4 (most stressful). We assigned LTS values to all road segments in Greater Melbourne based on cycling infrastructure, road hierarchy, traffic volume, and speed limits from OpenStreetMap. Trips from a government travel survey were then routed through the network to estimate exposure to different LTS levels under base and alternative scenarios. Additionally, a mode choice model was developed to examine the impact of LTS exposure on cycling likelihood. Finally, an agent-based transport model was used to evaluate the impact of this intervention on car travel time.

Results showed significant reductions in high-LTS exposure with lower speed limits. Under the base case, 27.9% of routes were on LTS-1 roads, and at 30 km/h this increased to 63.3%. Mode choice model results confirmed a strong negative correlation between cycling likelihood and high-LTS exposure. Car travel time impacts were minimal, even for trips largely on residential streets the average was only one minute.

降低车速限制，为骑自行车的人创造更安全、压力更小的环境，是一项被广泛提出的政策，但由于担心会增加出行时间，这一政策经常遭到抵制。本研究通过评估现有限速（基本情景）下的交通压力水平（LTS），以及将住宅街道限速降低至40公里/小时和30公里/小时（替代情景）对骑行LTS和汽车旅行时间的影响，来评估这些担忧。LTS是一种广泛使用的骑行压力测量方法，它将道路分段从LTS-1（压力最小）到LTS-4（压力最大）分类。我们根据OpenStreetMap的自行车基础设施、道路等级、交通量和速度限制，为大墨尔本的所有路段分配了LTS值。然后，从政府旅行调查中得出的行程通过网络进行路由，以估计在基本和替代方案下暴露于不同LTS水平的情况。此外，我们还建立了一种模式选择模型来检验LTS暴露对循环可能性的影响。最后，利用一个基于agent的交通模型来评估这种干预对汽车出行时间的影响。结果显示，较低的速度限制显著减少了高lts暴露。在基本情况下，27.9%的路线在LTS-1道路上，而在30公里/小时的情况下，这一比例增加到63.3%。模式选择模型结果证实了循环可能性与高lts暴露之间的强烈负相关。汽车出行时间的影响很小，即使是在居民区的街道上，平均也只有一分钟。

The global rise of e-scooters as a novel form of micromobility has reshaped urban transportation. Positioned as a sustainable mobility solution, transportation scholars underline that e-scooters have the potential to replace short car trips, reduce traffic congestion and carbon emissions, and increase energy efficiency of transportation systems. While existing literature has explored e-scooter adoption and trip characteristics extensively, there remains a research gap regarding the classification of e-scooter users. This paper attempts to overcome this deficiency by employing a latent class cluster analysis to classify e-scooter users based on their trip frequency, motivation, and purpose. Data used for the analysis were collected from e-scooter users in Washington, DC and Portland, OR in the United States. The results reveal two distinct classes of e-scooter users: ‘Joyriders’ and ‘Busyriders’. Joyriders tend to be young, female and belong to higher-income and vehicle-affluent households. They use e-scooters for leisure or tourism purposes, valuing pleasure and time savings. Busyriders are predominantly males aged 18–54 from vehicle-deficient households spanning diverse income groups and use e-scooters weekly for commuting, errands, and shopping purposes, prioritizing utilitarian and environmental benefits. The findings of this study can inform policymakers in developing effective e-scooter promotion policies, tailored to the preferences and needs of different user groups. The policy implications from this study can contribute towards the incorporation of e-scooters as a sustainable and efficient travel alternative into urban transportation.

电动滑板车作为一种新型微型交通工具在全球兴起，重塑了城市交通。交通学者强调，作为一种可持续的交通解决方案，电动滑板车有可能取代短途汽车出行，减少交通拥堵和碳排放，并提高交通系统的能源效率。虽然现有文献对电动滑板车的使用和出行特征进行了广泛的探讨，但对电动滑板车用户的分类研究仍然存在空白。本文试图通过使用潜在类聚类分析来根据他们的出行频率，动机和目的对电动滑板车用户进行分类，从而克服这一缺陷。用于分析的数据是从美国华盛顿特区和波特兰的电动滑板车用户中收集的。研究结果显示，电动滑板车用户分为两类：“兜风者”和“忙碌者”。开车兜风的人往往是年轻的女性，属于收入较高、拥有大量车辆的家庭。他们将电动滑板车用于休闲或旅游目的，重视乐趣和节省时间。乘坐电动滑板车的人主要是年龄在18-54岁之间的男性，他们来自不同收入群体的无车家庭，每周使用电动滑板车上下班、办事和购物，优先考虑实用性和环境效益。本研究的结果可以为政策制定者制定有效的电动滑板车推广政策提供参考，以适应不同用户群体的偏好和需求。这项研究的政策意义可以有助于将电动滑板车作为一种可持续和高效的出行选择纳入城市交通。

Understanding free riding behavior—where bicyclists are unconstrained by other road users or traffic control measures—is essential for planning efficient and appealing bicycle traffic systems. Bicyclist behavior is shaped by a combination of environmental conditions and individual preferences. This study examines free riding behavior, and identifies correlations with individual characteristics and contextual features such as infrastructure design (slopes and curves) and wind speed. We introduce a method using instrumented bicycles in a semi-controlled experiment to collect data describing the speed, power output, and heart rate of commuting bicyclists. Participants in two study populations (28 in Sweden and 29 in Germany) ride their bicycles equipped with sensors along designated routes during off-peak demand periods, enabling comparative analysis of different trip features. Results highlight significant inter- and intrapersonal variations in speed and power output along a trip. Approximately 80 percent of the variation in free riding speed and power output over a trip, and over both populations of bicyclists, is explained by gender, individual preferences, topography, curvature, crossing intersections, and wind speeds. Headwinds and uphills generally reduce speeds but bicyclists increase power output to partially offset these effects. Downhills lead to high speed variation and distinct tactical behaviors, such as braking, coasting, and accelerating. These findings underscore the complexity of bicycling behavior and quantify how bicyclists adapt to varying features of the trip.

了解免费骑行行为——骑自行车的人不受其他道路使用者或交通管制措施的约束——对于规划高效和有吸引力的自行车交通系统至关重要。骑自行车的人的行为是由环境条件和个人偏好共同决定的。这项研究考察了搭便车行为，并确定了个人特征和环境特征（如基础设施设计（斜坡和曲线）和风速）之间的相关性。在半控制实验中，我们介绍了一种使用仪表自行车来收集通勤骑自行车者的速度、功率输出和心率数据的方法。两个研究群体的参与者（瑞典28人，德国29人）在非高峰时段沿着指定路线骑装有传感器的自行车，以便对不同的出行特征进行比较分析。结果强调了在旅途中速度和功率输出的显著的人与人之间和人与人之间的差异。大约80%的免费骑行速度和功率输出的变化，在一次旅行中，在两个骑自行车的人群中，可以用性别、个人偏好、地形、曲率、十字路口和风速来解释。逆风和上坡通常会降低速度，但骑自行车的人会增加功率输出来部分抵消这些影响。下坡导致高速变化和独特的战术行为，如制动，滑行和加速。这些发现强调了骑自行车行为的复杂性，并量化了骑自行车者如何适应旅行的不同特征。

It is essential for local authorities to conduct retrospective analyses of the impacts of infrastructure measures and barriers on cycling. Typically, such evaluations can only be performed at specific locations through permanent counting stations, or with the help of on site surveys. However, to gain a comprehensive overview across an entire network, extensive GPS track data proves invaluable. A bivariate correlation analysis is employed to examine the linear relationship between GPS tracks and data from permanent counting stations. To facilitate comparison, the annual GPS tracks are aggregated into hexagonal grids, and the annual changes are quantified using various approaches. A spatial correlation analysis is then conducted for each approach using Moran’s I, identifying clusters of significant changes. These results are compared and validated against known infrastructure measures and barriers, using a German City (Dresden) as a case study. The analysis reveals a moderate to strong linear correlation between GPS data and permanent counting station data. Infrastructure measures and barriers are identifiable across all methods of analyzing annual changes, and, in certain instances, shifts in cyclist routes to or from alternative nearby roads are also detected. Given that certain clusters of significant change cannot be directly attributed to specific infrastructure measures or barriers, it is crucial to incorporate multiple approaches to analyze annual change. This methodology helps mitigate the risk of false inferences, enhancing the robustness and reliability of the findings.

地方当局必须对基础设施措施和障碍对骑行的影响进行回顾性分析。通常，这种评价只能通过常设点票站或在现场调查的帮助下在特定地点进行。然而，要获得整个网络的全面概况，大量的GPS跟踪数据证明是无价的。本文采用双变量相关分析方法对GPS航迹与永久计数站数据之间的线性关系进行了检验。为了便于比较，将GPS年轨迹聚合成六边形网格，并采用多种方法对年变化进行量化。然后使用Moran 's I对每种方法进行空间相关性分析，确定显著变化的集群。将这些结果与已知的基础设施措施和障碍进行比较和验证，并以德国城市（德累斯顿）为例进行研究。分析表明，GPS数据与永久计数站数据之间存在中等到较强的线性相关性。通过分析年度变化的所有方法，可以识别基础设施措施和障碍，并且在某些情况下，还可以检测到骑自行车者往返于其他附近道路的路线的变化。鉴于某些重大变化集群不能直接归因于特定的基础设施措施或障碍，因此结合多种方法来分析年度变化至关重要。这种方法有助于降低错误推断的风险，增强研究结果的稳健性和可靠性。

At Mount Diablo State Park in Northern California, a local coalition of cyclists known as the Mount Diablo Cyclists observed an overrepresentation of driver-overtaking-cyclist collisions on curves with limited sight distance. In response, they adapted the design of a truck climbing/passing lane to propose a ‘bike turnout’ which provides cyclists with exclusive right-of-way and a dedicated space for drivers to safely pass cyclists on uphill grades. Since 2016, 67 bike turnouts have been installed in MDSP. In 2022, the Oregon Department of Transportation aimed to study the attitudes of drivers and cyclists to bike turnouts by deploying a statewide online video-based survey. The results from both surveys revealed overwhelming receptivity to implementing bike turnouts in Oregon – 88.3 % of cyclists and 83.6 % of drivers were supportive of the implementation of bike turnouts in Oregon. On average, the perceived potential impacts on safety and user comfort had the greatest degree of effectiveness. Collectively, these findings indicate the viability and potential for bike turnouts in Oregon.

在北加州的迪亚波罗山州立公园（Mount Diablo State Park），当地一个名为“迪亚波罗山骑行者联盟”（Mount Diablo cyclists）的骑行者联盟发现，在视线有限的弯道上，司机超车事故的发生率过高。作为回应，他们调整了卡车爬坡/超车车道的设计，提出了一个“自行车道口”，为骑自行车的人提供了专属的通行权，并为司机提供了一个专门的空间，让他们在上坡路段安全地超过骑自行车的人。自2016年以来，MDSP已经安装了67个自行车轮。2022年，俄勒冈州交通部（Oregon Department of Transportation）打算通过在全州范围内部署一项基于视频的在线调查，研究司机和骑自行车的人对自行车投票率的态度。两项调查的结果都显示，俄勒冈州对实施自行车投票率的接受度极高——88.3% %的骑自行车者和83.6% %的司机支持在俄勒冈州实施自行车投票率。平均而言，感知到的对安全和用户舒适度的潜在影响具有最大程度的有效性。总的来说，这些发现表明了俄勒冈州自行车投票率的可行性和潜力。

In recent years, cycling has received notable investments in response to the urge to decarbonize the transportation sector, leading to an increase in its modal share in many territories. The present article presents a longitudinal study that evaluates the impact of various public policies on bicycle growth in Paris over the period 2018–2023. Variables of interest can be classified according to five themes: targeted cycling policies, restrictions imposed on motorized vehicles, disruptions on other modes of transport, livability policies, and economic conditions. The methodology is based on dependence-aware sensitivity analysis techniques to assess the separate contributions of each of these variables on bicycle traffic, aggregated at the city scale, and extracted from ground counter data. In order to be exhaustive, variations due to weather and calendar dynamics are also controlled for. Results indicate that local authorities should primarily focus on the development of bicycle infrastructure, including bicycle lanes, parking slots, and effective bicycle-sharing systems. While these measures are instrumental, sustainable growth relies on the implementation of a diverse range of policies. Bicycle usage can be further expanded by making it more attractive, specifically through the creation of pedestrian zones and green spaces, or the promotion of e-bikes. Additionally, cycling tends to increase as car usage becomes more difficult, although this finding calls for equity considerations.

近年来，为了应对交通部门脱碳的迫切需求，自行车得到了显著的投资，导致其在许多地区的模式份额增加。本文提出了一项纵向研究，评估了2018-2023年期间各种公共政策对巴黎自行车增长的影响。感兴趣的变量可以根据五个主题进行分类：有针对性的自行车政策、对机动车辆的限制、对其他交通方式的干扰、宜居政策和经济状况。该方法基于依赖感知敏感性分析技术，评估每个变量对自行车交通的单独贡献，以城市规模汇总，并从地面计数器数据中提取。为了更加详尽，由于天气和日历动态的变化也被控制。结果表明，地方当局应主要关注自行车基础设施的发展，包括自行车道、停车位和有效的自行车共享系统。虽然这些措施是有用的，但可持续增长依赖于实施各种各样的政策。自行车的使用可以通过使其更具吸引力来进一步扩大，特别是通过创建步行区和绿地，或推广电动自行车。此外，随着汽车的使用变得更加困难，骑自行车的人往往会增加，尽管这一发现需要公平的考虑。

What proportions of different transport modes do e-scooters replace? A meta-analysis 电动滑板车在不同的交通方式中所占的比例是多少？一个荟萃分析

This paper presents a meta-analysis of stand-up e-scooters’ mode replacement, based on outcomes from one hundred studies and dataset collections. The material includes scientific publications and grey literature from Europe, North America and Oceania. We aggregate the various replaced transport modes into three groups: private motorized vehicles, public transport and active transport. The mode replacement outcomes are survey-based, primarily directed towards e-scooter users. The mode replacement question is either about what mode would have been used on the last trip if the e-scooter were not available or about general changes in trip frequency of other modes after starting using e-scooter. Site-specific characteristics are added to the characteristics of the surveys. Meta-regressions show that the proportions of replaced private motorized vehicles and public transport are primarily associated with the proportions of these modes in the cities’ transport/commuting at the outset. Active transport represents the largest proportion of modes replaced by the e-scooter, but with less explained variation with respect to site-specific characteristics. We derive quality-corrected meta-analytic estimates of e-scooter mode replacement proportions from a subset of the meta-data.

本文基于100项研究和数据集的结果，对站立式电动滑板车的模式替换进行了荟萃分析。这些材料包括来自欧洲、北美和大洋洲的科学出版物和灰色文献。我们将各种被取代的交通方式分为三类：私人机动车辆、公共交通和主动交通。模式替换结果是基于调查的，主要针对电动滑板车用户。模式替换问题是关于如果没有电动滑板车，最后一次出行会使用哪种模式，或者是关于开始使用电动滑板车后其他模式的出行频率的一般变化。特定地点的特征被添加到调查的特征中。元回归表明，被取代的私人机动车辆和公共交通的比例首先与这些模式在城市交通/通勤中的比例有关。主动交通代表了电动滑板车所取代的最大比例的模式，但相对于特定地点的特征，解释较少的变化。我们从元数据的子集中推导出电动滑板车模式替换比例的质量校正元分析估计。

The mode replacement question is either about what mode would have been used on the last trip if the e-scooter were not available or about general changes in trip frequency of other modes after starting using e-scooter. Site-specific characteristics are added to the characteristics of the surveys. Meta-regressions show that the proportions of replaced private motorized vehicles and public transport are primarily associated with the proportions of these modes in the cities’ transport/commuting at the outset. Active transport represents the largest proportion of modes replaced by the e-scooter, but with less explained variation with respect to site-specific characteristics. We derive quality-corrected meta-analytic estimates of e-scooter mode replacement proportions from a subset of the meta-data.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100771,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cycling and Micromobility Research","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100082"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144829638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding cycling speed dynamics is crucial for effective transportation planning and infrastructure development. This study analyzes GPS-based cycling speed profiles in Zurich, Switzerland, focusing on conventional bicycles, e-bikes (25 km/h), and speed pedelecs (45 km/h). Using GPS data from 351 cyclists, we examine the influence of socio-demographic factors (age, gender, BMI), road infrastructure, gradients, and weather conditions on cycling speeds. Our findings reveal that speed pedelecs achieve the highest speeds, frequently exceeding residential speed limits, raising questions about their classification and integration into urban mobility networks. Machine learning models identify road gradients, BMI, and age as key determinants of cycling speed. Additionally, results show that e-bikes and speed pedelecs experience longer intersection delays. These insights offer valuable contributions to urban transport policies, cycling infrastructure planning, and traffic modeling, ensuring safer and more efficient mobility solutions.

了解骑行速度动态对于有效的交通规划和基础设施建设至关重要。本研究分析了瑞士苏黎世基于gps的自行车速度分布，重点是传统自行车、电动自行车（25公里/小时）和速度自行车（45公里/小时）。利用351名骑行者的GPS数据，研究了社会人口因素（年龄、性别、BMI）、道路基础设施、坡度和天气条件对骑行速度的影响。我们的研究结果表明，速度自行车达到了最高的速度，经常超过住宅的速度限制，这就提出了关于它们的分类和融入城市交通网络的问题。机器学习模型将道路坡度、BMI和年龄识别为自行车速度的关键决定因素。此外，研究结果还表明，电动自行车和超速自行车在十字路口的延误时间更长。这些见解为城市交通政策、自行车基础设施规划和交通建模提供了宝贵的贡献，确保了更安全、更高效的出行解决方案。

Parks afford the opportunity to engage with nature and have physical, social and psychological benefits. It is important to understand whether neighbourhood design can influence park visits. This study’s objective was to examine the association between neighbourhood walkability/bikeability and park visits in Canada. Between January 2019 and October 2021, park visits from 215 municipal and dog parks were linked to neighbourhood walkability and bikeability. Negative binomial regressions estimated associations between walkability, bikeability, and visits controlling for year, park type, median neighbourhood income, median age of residents, and urban/rural location. Neighbourhood walkability and bikeability were moderately correlated and explored separately (r = 0.375, p < .001). Compared to the lowest, parks with the highest level of neighbourhood walkability (RR = 11.64, p < .001) and bikeability (RR = 2.29, p < .001) had significantly more visits. The results suggest that the walkability/bikeability surrounding parks may impact visits. Future studies would benefit from exploring the ways in which neighbourhood characteristics can promote park use.

公园提供了与自然接触的机会，对身体、社会和心理都有好处。了解社区设计是否会影响公园参观是很重要的。本研究的目的是研究加拿大社区步行/骑自行车与公园参观之间的关系。在2019年1月至2021年10月期间，215个市政公园和狗狗公园的公园访问量与社区的步行和骑自行车性有关。负二项回归估计了步行性、骑自行车性和访问次数之间的关联，控制了年份、公园类型、社区收入中位数、居民年龄中位数和城市/农村位置。邻里步行适宜性和骑自行车适宜性具有中等相关性，分别进行了探讨（r = 0.375,p <； .001）。与最低水平的公园相比，最高水平的社区步行（RR = 11.64, p <； .001）和自行车（RR = 2.29, p <； .001）的公园有更多的游客。结果表明，公园周边的步行性/骑自行车性可能会影响游客。未来的研究将受益于探索如何利用社区特色来促进公园的使用。

E-bikes and e-cargo bikes can ‘extend’ the practice of cycling, reducing the physical demands of cycling further, cycling faster, cycling in varied topography and weather, and cycling with passengers and goods. However, while e-cycling can moderate the demands of cycling and expand its functional capabilities, it can also introduce new physical and technical competences. The competences of parking may be particularly intensified. The higher values, additional components, and heavier weights of an e-cycle can mean greater and more complex use of locks, more cautious placing, and more laborious manoeuvring. In this qualitative study, we explored e-cargo bike owner experiences and practices of parking in the context of Ireland. We found that participants struggled to find a place that was a secure and convenient to park their e-cargo bikes. This struggle shaped their everyday mobility, constraining how and where the e-cargo bike would be used. In this paper, we conceptualise the dominant parking styles that participants adopted at home, at work, and in public, to enable secure and convenient e-cargo bike parking: standing out, official anchoring, improvised anchoring, and locking away. In addition, we provide an analysis of insurance measures adopted by participants to safeguard the e-cargo bike in the instance of damage or theft, and how insurance measures – and the absence of insurance – can structure parking styles. To conclude, we make several observations on cycle parking planning that could help to advance more e-cargo-bike-inclusive cycle parking futures in the context of Ireland.

电动自行车和电动货运自行车可以“扩展”自行车的实践，进一步减少骑自行车的体力需求，骑得更快，在不同的地形和天气下骑自行车，并与乘客和货物一起骑自行车。然而，尽管电动自行车可以缓和骑行的需求并扩展其功能，但它也可以引入新的物理和技术能力。停车的权限可能会特别加强。更高的值、额外的组件和更重的电子自行车可能意味着更多和更复杂的锁的使用，更谨慎的放置和更费力的操作。在这个定性研究中，我们探讨了在爱尔兰背景下的电动载货自行车车主停车的经验和做法。我们发现，参与者很难找到一个安全方便的地方停放他们的电动货运自行车。这种挣扎影响了他们的日常出行，限制了电动货运自行车的使用方式和地点。在本文中，我们概念化了参与者在家中、工作场所和公共场所采用的主要停车方式，以实现安全方便的电子货运自行车停放：突出、正式锚定、临时锚定和锁定。此外，我们还分析了参与者在损坏或被盗的情况下为保护电动货运自行车而采取的保险措施，以及保险措施（以及没有保险）如何构建停车风格。综上所述，我们对自行车停车规划进行了一些观察，这些观察可能有助于在爱尔兰的背景下推进更多的包括电子货物自行车在内的自行车停车未来。
