▼ In the Netherlands most people have mastered riding a bicycle. Usually at the age of 4 a child learns to ride a bicycle. Few people however know how a bicycle actually works. A bicycle is a dynamic system that is more complex than one would expect. For example in order to go through a left curve on a bicycle one first has to steer right for a short period of time in order to make the bicycle lean to the left. This effect is called: "countersteering". While going through the left curve one needs to apply torque to the handlebars but not in the direction of the curve. The torque that is applied to the handlebars is to the right and it prevents the handlebars from rotating even further. The bicycle as a dynamical system is described in the article "Linearized dynamics equations for the balance and steer of a bicycle: a benchmark and review" [1] written by J. P. Meijaard, Jim M. Papadopoulos, Andy Ruina and A. L. Schwab in 2007.

▼ While riding bicycles has been promoted for its health, economic, and environmental benefits, it also complements other modes to complete a safe, efficient, and reliable transportation system. However, the dramatic increase of
bicycle usage in the U.S. is accompanied by a growth of
bicycle crashes. The U.S. Department of Transportation, therefore, is focusing on providing safer riding environments. Providing a more
bicycle friendly environment means more investment in (but not limited to)
bicycle infrastructure. A correct prediction of
bicycle crashes can increase the return on this investment. One useful tool to understand the causality and predict crashes is Safety Performance Functions (SPFs), but no sophisticated SPFs have been established for bicycles. Therefore, the objective of this thesis is to establish SPFs for microscopic (intersection) and macroscopic (corridor) scales in medium and large size cities using crowdsourced
bicycle data, with a case study in the Portland and Eugene-Springfield metropolitan, which overcomes the challenge of insufficient
bicycle volume data and crash data. Specifically, in this research 1)
bicycle SPFs are created for intersections and corridors that have not been sufficiently studied; 2)
bicycle crash severity distributions are used the first time to predict the number of
bicycle crashes with different crash severity levels; 3) affordable crowdsourced
bicycle volume data – STRAVA® is chosen to solve the problem of limited data; 4) STRAVA® data was verified to be able to represent general bicyclists by comparison with automatic bike count station data; 5) a general framework for building SPFs was developed for jurisdictions.

▼ Research has shown that people have different tolerances for perceived stress when they ride a
bicycle on roadways and bikeways. This study focuses on building upon the Mineta Transportation Institute's Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) tool by reviewing the literature to modify the traffic and roadway characteristics (e.g. speed limit, traffic volume, functional class) by which facilities are classified into four levels of traffic stress. The LTS criteria which are applied to facilities correspond to four types of riders who may or may not currently
bicycle. These four types were also used in the Georgia Institute of Technology Cycle Atlanta app. The four types, from least tolerant of traffic stress to the most tolerant, are; LTS 1 Interested, but Concerned, LTS 2 Comfortable, but Cautious, LTS 3 Enthused and Confident, and LTS 4 Strong and Fearless.

▼ As the title says, Mumbai- The bicycle friendly city, the aim and objective of this study is to improve the situation for cyclists in Mumbai. In order to concretize the main objective has six focus areas developed to be viewed as the most important aspects of what makes a city bicycle friendly. A smaller area of Mumbai City has been chosen as planning area in which inventories have been done to clarify the conditions to investigate how improvements can be done for the bicycle traffic. To get a deeper understanding of the planning area’s structure and what its residents think about cycling, an analysis has also been done to get a good understanding over the traffic situation. The study has resulted in a plan proposal with actions and recommendations based on local site conditions for how the bicycle traffic could be improved. The plan proposal consist of everything from more overall solutions down to detail level with design and dimensions. One can also see the study as a kind of “tool†that can be used as a bicycle manual for how to approach when improving for the bicycle traffic in other sites.
Som titeln säger, Mumbai- Den cykelvänliga staden har syftet och visionen med det här arbetet, under hela arbetets gång varit att förbättra situationen för cykeltrafiken i Mumbai. För att konkretisera målet har visionen delats in i sex delmål som ses som de viktigaste aspekterna vad som gör en stad cykelvänlig. Ett mindre område i Mumbai City har valts som planområde där inventeringar har gjort för att klargöra forutsättningarna för cykeltrafik. För att få en djupare förståelse om planområdets strukturer och vad dess invånarna anser om cykling så har också analyser gjorts för att få en så bra bild av hur situationen ser ut i dag men Arbetet har mynnat ut i dels ett arbetsätt för hur cykelvägar kan planeras baserat på platsens lokala förutsättningar. Vilket kan ses som ett verktyg som kan appliceras för cykelplanering på andra platser. “Verktyget†har också prövats och resulterat i ett planförslag med alltifrån översiktliga lösningar till detaljnivå i det valda mrådet.

▼ Bicycle sharing schemes have gone global and the number of shared bicycles in use has ostensibly more than doubled over the past two years. Two general paradigms of bikeshare are currently competing for resources as well as hearts and minds of potential customers. Dockless bikeshare (best represented by Mobike Shanghai) and docked bikeshare (best represented by Citi Bike New York) are opposites in many regards, but their goals tend to dovetail. This study addresses the similarities and differences of these bikeshare paradigms, investigating their impacts on users' experiences of their respective urban milieus and the antecedents and correlates of user perceptions, based on survey questionnaires deployed in Shanghai and New York. This study finds that dockless bikeshare shows advantages over docked bikeshare, manifested in a greater diversity of ridership among participants, more substantive perceived effects on users' relationships with their urban environment, and an overarching importance of convenience to user perceptions. The projected expansion of bikeshare, especially dockless bikeshare underscored the timeliness of this study. By offering future directions for researchers and policymakers, this study will thus aid interested parties in decision-making process with regard to bikeshare support and implementation.

▼ A lot of research has been done on the behaviour of pneumatic tyres and this has led to various tyre models and a lot of measurement data. However, in the specific field of bicycle tyres, not so much measurement data is available. However, in 2013 Andrew Dressel received the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee by presenting his research: Measuring and modeling the mechanical properties of bicycle tires. In this research he did a lot of measurements with multiple bicycle tyre brands and models under different conditions. The results from these measurements are interesting to use for modelling purposes. The goal of this research is to find out if it is possible to estimate the bicycle tyre behaviour in terms of vertical stiffness, cornering stiffness and camber stiffness based on known parameters like the inflation pressure, tyre width, rim width, vertical load and the rubber compound using a tyre model. An important part of this thesis are tyre models. The measurement data will be analysed using various tyre models. The first used tyre model is the brush model. This model uses a single material parameter and it turns out that this is too less to be able to extract clear relations between the tyre behaviour and the known parameters like inflation pressure, tyre width and rim width. The second tyre model that is used is the enhanced string model. This model is an extension of the brush model. This model has three material parameters for the vertical direction and also three material parameters for the lateral direction. Investigating this model shows that there is reasonable suspicion to assume that one of the model parameters represents the inflation pressure. In order to find the material parameters for every tyre, inflation pressure and normal load combination a parameter optimisation is required. The results from this parameter optimisation show that the suspected model parameter is actually not related to the inflation pressure. When the obtained model parameters from the optimisation are put back into the tyre model interesting results are acquired, because the model output agrees fairly well with the measurement data. This is unexpected because the model parameters were differing a lot depending on how they were obtained, e.g. obtaining the parameters from cornering stiffness or from camber stiffness. The answer to the research question is no. In order to extract relations between the model parameters and the tyres behaviour depending on their measurable properties, a lot more complete measurements are needed. The whole idea was to be able to estimate tyre behaviour without the need of extensive testing. This still might be possible, but in order to to that a lot more measurements are needed first. These measurements should create a baseline of model parameters which can be used to estimate the model parameters of unmeasured tyres.

▼ Matroids designs are defined to be matroids in which the hyperplanes all have the same size. The dual of a matroid design is a matroid with all circuits of the same size, called a dual matroid design. The connected bicircular dual matroid designs have been characterized previously. In addition, these results have been extended to connected bicircular matroids with circuits of two sizes in the case that the associated graph is a subdivision of a 3-connected graph. In this dissertation, we will use a graph theoretic approach to discuss the characterizations of bicircular matroids with circuits of two and three sizes. We will characterize the associated graph of a bicircular matroid with circuits of two sizes. Moreover, we will provide a characterization of connected bicircular matroids with circuits of three sizes in the case that the associated graph is a subdivision of a 3-connected graph. We will also investigate the circuit spectrum of bicircular matroids whose associated graphs have minimum degree at least i for k ≥ 1, and show that there exists a set of bicycles with consecutive
bicycle lengths.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Cycling, when utilised as a form of transport in an urban environment, holds valuable benefits and sustainable advantages for a wide variety of stakeholders. Various barriers exist that contribute to a low user adoption of cycling in an urban area, despite a high and growing user adoption of recreational cycling.
Bicycle theft and inadequate
bicycle storage facilities for on-street urban
bicycle storage are amongst these barriers identified. In theft-prone urban areas, urban cyclists are hampered by the prevalence of theft when bicycles are temporarily secured during urban commuting trips. This can negatively affect an individual’s attitude towards urban cycling, and thereby increase the difficulty for regional authorities to draw from the advantages accompanying a high urban-cycling prevalence. This study proposes an on-street smart
bicycle dock that is capable of adequately protecting a
bicycle during an urban commuting stop-over, thereby aiding in the removal of the related barriers weighing against a higher user adoption of urban cycling.
To ensure a successful and sustainable solution, three important stakeholders were considered in order to incorporate their requirements and behaviour into the solution.
Bicycle thieves were interviewed and studied to understand the methods and motives involved in urban
bicycle theft, active cyclists were investigated through questionnaires to understand their requirements and attitude towards a potential solution, while a local municipal and academic institution involved in the potential implementation of the solution were engaged with to understand and incorporate their needs and requirements.
A conceptual solution that serves as the research model was produced by turning the relevant insights obtained from the research activities into product design specifications that served as a quantitative template to guide the development of the conceptual solution. The resulting solution was broken up into four functional areas that were developed separately but dependent on each other, after which they were combined to collectively form the final solution.
The first solution area sees the development of a mechanical steel frame that secures a
bicycle docked in the system, by physically locking its wheels and frame using a novel locking method. This frame protects the bicycle’s critical components against the majority of tools and methods commonly used in
bicycle theft, and was found to provide better protection than existing solutions, accept against theft using a hacksaw where only 71% of the required protection was provided. The second area sees the development of a sensing system that uses force transducers situated below the
bicycle, to convert any disturbance on the
bicycle into a digital time-discrete signal that is processed by a signal processing algorithm developed, in order to detect any attempt of theft performed on the docked
bicycle. The sensing system obtained a false-negative rate of 8%, a detection duration of 8.6 seconds, and a false-positive rate…

▼ Concerns about climate change, environmental impacts
and resources needed for transportation infrastructure, require new
and different approaches to planning, designing, and operating
transportation solutions on a global scale. College campuses are
prime locations to focus on various methods of sustainable
transportation, specifically walking and bicycling and the related
infrastructures needed for these systems. The necessary
infrastructures for these modes of transportation are different
than the conventional road system utilized by automobiles. As a
result, cities, planners, campuses, and the individuals who will be
traveling must understand why changes to transportation
infrastructures are important. This may require a mindset change
before it becomes incorporated in their everyday lives.
Universities can play a large role in this by offering increased
infrastructure for bicycling.
This paper examines the travel
behaviors of students that live on campus at Kansas State
University Campus in Manhattan and examines their
bicycle ownership
and usage habits, through the use of a survey. The survey results
suggest that the Jardine Apartments is the area most used for
bicycle travel. The survey provides the most perceived prevalent
impediments to cycling more often as well as the top elements the
University could utilize to promote cycling. This report conducted
three binomial logistic regression models to predict
bicycle
ownership and usage. It was found that being male, residing in the
Jardine Apartments, and having a high
bicycle comfort level are all
important factors.

▼ Currently, with the increase of people moving from one place to another, either to fulfill their daily activities or for recreation, the need has been created to produce a greater amount of means of transportation that can facilitate this action. Many people choose to use vehicles that do not help with the reduction of environmental pollution; among these, we can mention cars, buses, motorcycles, etc. The use of bicycles is predominant in countries with a developed culture and infrastructure focused on bike riding. Also, where fuel taxes are higher and people care about pollution in their surroundings.
In this project, a design has been developed that focuses on reducing the resources needed to produce a standard
bicycle. Focused on developing a sustainable manufacturing design by utilizing additive manufacturing technologies and generative design, we not only aim to find a way to generate a product that is more efficient and friendlier to the environment, but also expects to open a door to new manufacturing possibilities.

▼ Transportation agencies need efficient methods to determine how to improve
bicycle facilities in order to improve connectivity and safety. Many studies have used standalone methods such as level of traffic stress (LTS) and
bicycle level of service (BLOS) to better understand
bicycle mode share and network connectivity for a region while other studies rely on collision severity models to explain what variables attribute to
bicycle related collisions. This research looks at comparing
bicycle LTS networks with
bicycle collisions for four cities in New Hampshire. The LTS measurements of the road and the collision point are compared visually and collision severity models are developed incorporating the LTS measurements. Results of the visual analysis show some clustering patterns and geospatial correlation between higher LTS roads and "Injury" type
bicycle collisions. Using an ordered probit model, LTS 2 is found to be the only significant LTS with
bicycle collisions. These results indicate that the assumption of LTS 2 being a safe route may be premature and
bicycle ridership data plays a bigger role in
bicycle safety.

▼ The design of bicycle frames has remained fairly static for the majority of the past century, but recent increases in demand for high performance bicycles has created an accelerated design cycle that requires innovation. In order to design new frames with confidence in their capacity to withstand the rigors of use, reliable data about the nature of that use is needed, but this data is not currently available. The purpose of this research was to develop and implement a system that is capable of interpolating loads applied to a bicycle frame during vigorous riding for the purpose of improving the quality of information available to bicycle designers.
The system that was developed employed finite element modeling to locate strain gauges on a frame and a least-squares approximate solution of strain readings to interpolate the applied loads. At its best, the system is capable of resolving loads with better than a 2% error. This system is limited, though, as it can only be applied in cases where the frame has a significant strain reaction to a load case but does not have a significant change in geometry during loading. This system was implemented on a cross-country mountain bicycle frame for the purposes of determining a rider weight to load relationship and to compare the standardized test procedures for bicycles to the loads experienced in the field.
It was confirmed that there is a linear relationship between rider weight and load on the frame for all component forces except that applied to the bottom bracket, out of plane with the bicycle frame. It was also found that the British Standards fatigue testing practices, which are used internationally to assess bicycle safety, are inconsistent in their representation of realistic riding conditions when compared with the results from the field tests. Some loads appear conservative, some offer a very large factor of safety, and two are not represented at all. In particular, the moment about the bottom bracket due to pedaling and the load on the seat from the rider appear to consistently exceed the standardized test requirements while the moment caused by fork splay seems much smaller than the tests demand.

▼ Many cities in North America have stated goals in their Official Plans, Transportation Plans, and other municipal documents related to cycling. A common objective is to increase the number and proportion of cyclists for either utilitarian or both utilitarian and recreational trips. To determine whether they are progressing towards achieving their goals, it is necessary that cities periodically and accurately monitor and measure their levels of cycling.
This thesis aims to assess the different methods used for monitoring cycling in Canadian cities, as well as individual cities’ overall monitoring programs. The advantages and disadvantages of different methodologies and technologies are discussed, and best practices are provided. Four case study cities: Vancouver, Halifax, Calgary and Toronto are assessed according to a list of best practices developed by Hudson et al. (2010). Themes and patterns emerge and the cities are compared and contrasted. A summary of Canadian cities’ efforts is presented and the cities are ranked in the following order:1 Vancouver; #2 Toronto; #3 Calgary; and #4 Halifax.
In addition, the results of two surveys from the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area are compared at the census tract (CT) level to assess their reliability. The Bicycling Share of Work Trips (BSWT) from the Transportation Tomorrow Survey (TTS) and Statistics Canada’s Canadian Census (the Census) is examined to identify whether research from different sources is producing the same results. Geographic Information Systems are used to examine and compare the spatial patterns of the survey results and descriptive statistics are used to quantify the differences. It was found that the surveys are producing significantly different results and that there appears to be little spatial pattern in the difference between them.
This research allows Canadian cities and other interested parties to learn about the various methods for monitoring cycling, to see which methods are being used in Canadian cities, to decide which methods are best for their specific needs, and to more comprehensively understand the BSWT from the Census and the TTS.

▼ In the competitive road race-cycling sport, having a frame that is lighter and aerodynamic, grants a competitive advantage. If we look at the market, the lighter and expensive bicycles are made from carbon where the cheaper models are made out of metal-alloys. This makes the consumer biased towards metal-alloy frames, mostly about the weight. To make a optical and physical change in weight, the connection points (lugs) in between tubes are chosen. Using a topology optimised lug in frames improves production speed whilst maintaining conventional production methods and technologies. This lug has the opportunity to make the frame lighter and stiffer compared to a frame without lugs. The final product is a result of a marriage between craftsmanship and cutting edge technology. This product incorporates the characteristics and core strengths of the Braun-cycling company and the developments of CAD modelling software and additive manufacturing into a unique and high-quality product. It shows that metal-alloy bicycles are in no way outdated, but are futureproof.

▼ Mumbai – the city of contrasts, is home for more than 20 million people. It is the financial centre and the most modern city in India. As most cities within developing countries Mumbai is striving to imitate the western model of growth and lifestyle to achieve a “developed†status. Motorization, especially private motorized modes, has become prioritized because they are seen as a big part of this development. This neglecting has also led to a significant prejudice against bicycle riding as a transport mode. Over 300 new cars are registered ever day in the city. Not only is congestion a big problem but pollution from vehicles are posing serious threats to peoples health and to the environment. 88% of the population is using public transport today but with a larger growing middle class, ready to buy private vehicles, traffic related problems are likely to worsen. The gap between rich and poor is increasing, parts of the population can hardly afford to use the public transport system. Even though Mumbai is claimed to have the highest income per capita in India, 40 % of the inhabitants are still living below the poverty line. There are many aspects in society that could have a positive effect if a well working bicycle infrastructure were to be developed in Mumbai. Bicycling is not something new in India, bicycles have been used for a long time both for commuting and transporting goods. India is the second largest producer of bicycles in the world. 3% - 7% of all trips are done by bicycles in Mumbai today but studies shows a sharp decline in bicycle journeys over the past two decades. It is likely that bicycles will disappear from the streets in less than a decade if no actions are taken from the government. Six goals have been chosen to look at in this thesis, they are; Equality, Safety, Mobility, Urban life, Environment and Health. Some facts under each goals are presented and it is explained how a well working bicycle network could improve some aspects under each goal. Design standards of how bicycle facilities should be constructed and an illustration of a bicycle masterplan is proposed based on interviews with the public, literature studies and analyzing of the existing roads. Recommendations on how to work with changing prejudices against bicycling and how the planning of a bicycle network could be implemented are given.

▼ The bicycle-transit combination is researched through a revealed preference survey in The Hague, applied on the tram network. Two main things are examined: which factors affect feeder distance and which feeder mode choice. This is done by bivariate analyses, multivariate analyses (two logistic regression models) and a qualitative analysis (choice motives that the respondents provided, and a spatial analysis).

▼ Experimental data were obtained from riding a steer-by-wire bicycle on the open road while perturbing balance with impulsive forces at the seat post (lateral pertubations) as well as perturbing balance with impulsive torques at the steering assembly (steering pertubations). The experiments were conducted at 2.6–5.6 m/s covering both the stable and the unstable forward speed range. For the lateral pertubation experiments two conditions were explored; normal steering and reduced torque feedback steering. Three metrics are used to assess the effect of torque feedback on rider steer control and balance. Results failed to indicate any statistically significant difference between experimental conditions. Bicycle and rider mechanics have been modeled using the Whipple bicycle model extended with the rider inertia. A rider control model is developed that incorporates all of human's sensory pathways and includes a strategy to compensate for sensory dead time. The identified rider control parameters, stabilize the system and mimic realistic rider control behavior. From the results the importance of the torque feedback pathway is strongly indicated. Finally for the steering pertubations the rider control model is modified to account for the cocontraction mechanism. The model manages to approximate the rider measured response and simultaneously captures the significance of the intrinsic response. A high level of intersubject variability is exhibited. The hypothesis that this variability is in fact due to the modulation of admittance in the shoulder joint is strongly suggested.

▼ This report presents the design process and the design proposal of a non-stigmatising stabilised
bicycle designed for the
bicycle company Beixo. With the trendy three wheel cargobike that has been designed for the problem of stability and stigma, insecure cyclists, including elderly, can cycle with confidence and stay mobile and independent. A literature study and user research using contextmapping methods were conducted to identify and understand the problem that this thesis deals with. Age-related disabilities, such as reduced balance and strength, can cause elderly people to fall with their
bicycle. A fall often leads to injuries and fear of falling again. This feeling of insecurity causes many elderly to stop cycling, giving up an important part of their mobility. Assistive devices that help elderly to stay mobile, like tricycles, already exist, but these aids are perceived as stigmatising and are not easily accepted by users. Stigma is a negative judgmental reaction from bystanders to a person or person using a product caused by the visible characteristics of the person or product that are perceived as socially undesirable. This master thesis deals with the question if a bike can be designed such that it provides stability without being stigmatising. Existing research was used to find design strategies to deal with the problem of stability and stigma. The chosen design strategy included disguising the stabilizing function of the third wheel, adding additional benefits, making the design age independent and creating an association with an accepted product category. The design process consisted of design and research activities. The chosen design direction ‘cargo tricycle’ which has the potential to solve the problem of stability and of stigma was developed further into a concept and later the design proposal. The proposed design provides a solution to the problem of stability and stigma by creating a reference to cargo bikes. The bike has two front wheels in between which the cargo container is located. The bamboo container is compact and allows for easy loading of small cargo, for example groceries. The designed steering system steers the wheels around the container, allowing for light steering. The frame has a low entry and large adjustability to allow for an ergonomic cycling position for all users. The integrated shaft drive motor provides pedaling support, making cycling effortless. Its function and appearance could make this compact cargo bike suitable for many more target groups than elderly insecure cyclists, for example people who have never learned to cycle, ALS patients, people with reduced balance due to hearing impairment, people who wish to transport small loads, etc. To validate the design, a ‘looks-like-real’ working prototype was created. This prototype was showcased at the Embassy of Health during the Dutch Design Week 2018 where it received positive attention from visitors. The stability of the bike was tested by using it in everyday cycling situations in
bicycle infrastructure. The subjective…

▼ The aim of the research is to develop a new model of bicycling supporting infrastructure that is cost-efficient, easily fabricated and installed, energy-efficient, globally transportable and adaptable to site. Cycling has entered into a new era, with a large population of active cyclists competing with unsustainable fossil fuel transport systems. The increase in cycling is a result of rising fossil fuel costs and a more environmentally aware public. The thesis seeks an architectural way of provoking greater incentives for cycling by increasing its appeal and ease of engagement, while decreasing related infrastructure costs.
The design proposes ‘Bike Shop’, an architecturally integrated cycling support facility that can be positioned at regular intervals along a cycling route. The design research challenge is to conceive a facility that is self-sustaining, adaptable, economically produced, environmentally sensitive, portable and able to be applied globally. As a vehicle for design, the Great Harbour Way/Te Aranui o PÅneke will be used. The Great Harbour Way includes plans for a parallel cycling route that stretches over 50 kilometres along the shoreline in the Greater Wellington region from Eastbourne to Owhiro Bay. The Greater Wellington Regional Council has proposed their second highest funding of large projects over 5 million for walking and cycling development in the region. The funding of 17.05 million goes towards the development for a walkway/cycleway between Ngaraunga and Petone. This thesis will test how prefabricated methods such as kit-of-parts and mass customisation techniques can reduce costs yet encourage adaptability to address the wide range of conditions that the Great Harbour Way offers. The challenge of the design experiment for this facility will be to become a new model of cycling infrastructure around the world.
The thesis proposes to reinterpret the Bike Shop as a linear sequence of cycling facilities that inhabit the Great Harbour Way. The Bike Shop is to be placed on this stretch of shoreline at fixed intervals. At these locations with the wide range of site conditions the design challenge is for the facility to arrive as a kit-of-parts, be assembled quickly and adapted to unique site conditions.
The thesis proposes a program where each architecturally integrated facility along the linear sequence will function as new cycling infrastructure, where simultaneously a bike can be repaired or a tire can be inflated or a bicyclist can rest and rehydrate with other cyclists off the road. In this way, each facility will promote safe cycling, thereby providing safety, environmentally sustainable energy, and public health benefits to more cyclists. In this way, the thesis argues that the facilities will be recognized as signifiers of the city as well as markers of location and orientation. Overall this thesis invites prefabricated elements to be adaptable in ways that make them responsive and beautifully reflect the site rather than just repetitive.

▼ Expansive parking lots, miles of asphalt, and traffic jams: this is what the modern sport stadia has come to represent. Does it have to be this way? What does the future of sports stadia hold? Can we build a stadium that is better integrated to the community around it? The stadium must become a major urban element again and it must engage the urban context.
D.C. United, the most storied franchise in MLS history, needs a new home. Baltimore and other locations in Maryland would gladly welcome the Black-and-Red, but it is vital for them to remain within Washington, D.C. in a soccer specific stadium. An area of land on Buzzard Point has already been chosen for the future development of a new soccer specific stadium and is now waiting for city council approval.
This thesis aims to explore a new type of urban stadium and a new stadium type as a
bicycle destination at Buzzard Point. To explore a new type of urban stadium, it is vital to investigate the site's present features as well as investigate the projected future infrastructure development and real estate growth on the site. These future developments must remain throughout the design process because they will one day make up the stadium's urban context.

▼ Over the past few years in the United States, there has been a gradual increase among many public agencies installing experimental exclusive
bicycle traffic signals in conjunction with vehicular traffic signals. These signals, mostly found at intersections with protected two-way
bicycle paths, may cause operational inefficiencies if unsatisfactory phasing strategies are used. The source of the issue stems from difficulty in developing a phasing strategy where simultaneous vehicular movement is to not come into conflict with any concurrent
bicycle movement, particularly the vehicular right-turn movement adjacent to a
bicycle path. Additionally, as a new signal type, there has been a lack of general guidelines on how to develop an efficient strategy that not only accommodate
bicycle traffic signals, but also pedestrian signals. The goal of this research was to develop different strategies to accommodate
bicycle traffic signals. The strategies are based on a case study intersection where a
bicycle signal has been installed and is causing operational inefficiencies. Three strategies was developed for each split and lead-lag phasing using a combination of overlaps, dummy phases, and phase modifiers. Using the simulation software VISSIM, a model was developed based on the case study's intersection roadway geometry and signal timing. Each strategy is then implemented and evaluated for the capacity and delay of the right-turn lane by varying
bicycle and pedestrian volumes. Analytical models based on Poisson distribution were developed for the capacity and delay of the right-turn lane and checked with simulation results for validation. The current intersection operation was also evaluated using current traffic volumes, and implementing all three split design strategies.The results from simulation showed low delays and high capacity for the vehicular right-turn lane at low
bicycle and pedestrian volumes. Vice versa, higher delay and lower capacity for the vehicular right-turn lane at higher
bicycle and pedestrian volumes resulted, which is expected. A reduction of the current operation's right-turn lane average delay was observed with the implementation of all three solutions. And finally, the results from simulation indicate that each strategy will be advantageous at different
bicycle and pedestrian demands.

▼ The aim of this study was to quantify, describe, and compare the exercise intensity and performance aspects of riding a fat bike, in a time trial (TT) format, on a natural earthen trail (ET) vs. on a groomed snow trail (ST). Eleven subjects, nine males and two females, participated in this two part study. Heart rate (HR) was used to quantify exercise intensity, examining average heart rate (HR
avg), and peak heart rate (HR
peak). In addition, a global positioning system (GPS) watch was used to assess time to complete the trail, average speed (speed
avg), and max speed (speed
max). Immediately following completion of each ride, measures of post ride blood lactate (BL) concentrations were taken. Lastly, participants’ reported their rating of perceived exertion (RPE). Results of this study showed that time to complete the trail was significantly (
P < 0.05) shorter on the ET. Speed
avg and speed
max were significantly faster on the ET. Post ride BL concentrations were significantly higher after completion of the ET. However, no significant differences were noted between HR
avg, HR
peak, or RPE between field tests. This study shows that, although time to complete the trail was significantly shorter during the ET ride, and the participants’ speeds were significantly slower on the ST, riding a fat bike on a ST can be completed at a very high exercise intensity. The HR response observed suggests potential for similar aerobic training adaptations with ST vs. ET riding.

▼ Bicycle dynamics and behaviors have been vastly studied through modeling and
simulation. Due to the complexity, software models are often assumed subjecting
to di erent nonholonomic constraints in order to simplify the models and control
algorithms. A real life autonomous
bicycle faces perturbances from the road, wind,
tire deformation, slipping among other external forces. Limitations of simulations
will not always allow these to apply. All these issues make the autonomous
bicycle
research very challenging.
To study the
bicycle control problems a few research results from the literature
are reviewed. A nonlinear
bicycle model was used to conduct control simulations.
Model based nonlinear controllers were applied to simulate the balance and path
tracking control. A PID controller is more practical to replace the non-linear controller
for the balance control. Simulation results of the di erent controllers are
compared in order to decide the proper control strategies on the hardware platform.
The controller design of the platform complies with practicality based on the hardware
con guration. Two control schemes are implemented on the test platform;
both are developed with PID algorithms. The rst scheme is a single PID control
loop in which the controller takes the roll angle feedback and balances the running
platform by means of steering. If the desired roll angle is zero the controller will try
to hold the platform at the upright position. If the desired roll angle is non-zero
the platform will be balanced at an equilibrium roll angle. A xed roll angle will
lead to a xed steering angle as the result of balance control. The second scheme
is directional control with balance consisting of two cascaded PID loops. Steering
is the only means to control balance and direction. To do so the desired roll angle
must be controlled to achieve the desired steering angle. The platform tilts to
the desired side and steering follows to the same side of the tilt; the platform can
then be lifted up by the centrifugal force and eventually balanced at an equilibrium
roll angle. The direction can be controlled using a controlled roll angle. Many implementation
issues have to be dealt with in order for the control algorithm to be
functional. Dynamic roll angle measurement is implemented with complementary
internal sensors (accelerometer and gyroscope). Directional information is obtained
through a yaw rate gyroscope which operates on the principle of resonance. To monitor
the speed of the platform, a rotational sensor was formed by using a hard drive
stepper motor attached to the axis of the vehicle's driving motor. The optoelectronic
circuit plays the vital role to ensure the system functionality by isolating the
electromagnetic noise from the motors. Finally, in order to collect runtime data, the
wireless communication is implemented through Bluetooth/RS232 serial interface.
The data is then plotted and analyzed with Matlab. Controller gains are tuned
through numerous road tests.

▼ The purpose of this thesis is to explore bicycle use and attitudes towards cycling through case study analyses in Halifax Regional Municipality and the Region of Waterloo. There are two main sections of analyses; the first investigates factors that have been shown by previous research to be associated with cycling behavior for each of the study areas, and the second focuses on the results of a bicycle survey administered for the purpose of this research. The statistical analysis in Part 1 applies Fisher’s Exact Test to reveal statistically significant associations in the survey data. These two sections of analysis are compared and the following conclusions offered:
1. Cycling use is likely associated with city size, density, weather, topography, age, and gender.
2. Cycling trip purpose in Halifax is associated with weather; in Waterloo, trip purpose is associated with weather, gender, and employment.
3. Cycling use in Waterloo is associated with weather, age, gender, employment, and income.
4. There is strong evidence that the provision of bicycle infrastructure has a strong association with bicycle use.
In the context of increasing bicycle use, the principal finding is the association between the provision of bicycle infrastructure and increased cycling use. In Waterloo, where the rate of cycling use is higher than in Halifax, there is approximately twice the total number of kilometres of on-street bicycle routes and respondents reported living significantly closer to bike paths, lanes, or trails. In Halifax, where cycling use is less common, respondents expressed much more concern regarding inadequate cycling infrastructure and an overall dissatisfaction with the quality of cycling facilities.
These findings reaffirm the previous research suggesting that the provision of more bicycle lanes, paths, route signage, and parking facilities is associated with higher rates of bicycle use among the general public.

▼ This project seeks to find a product solution to increase user access to the proposed national cycleway throughout New Zealand. This is achieved though the design of a self-service bike rental system to be placed at points along the proposed cycleway track.
Various possible bike rental systems precedents were analysed for the national cycleway. Included in this were three short films that documented cycling conditions on New Zealand roads and the current bike rental systems that operate in New Zealand.
A practical approach was taken wherein a significant amount of testing in full scale via 3D model making techniques. To complete the process, a full-scaled ergonomic/usability test rig was built. Following this, a full-scale design model could be developed. The resultant proposed solution features an innovative bicycle and locking system with distinct and unique styling. The bikes are styled to convey a fun and user friendly aesthetic. The risks of vandalism or theft of the bikes has been mitigated by a unique parts system whereby nothing on the bikes would be usable on any other frame if stolen.

IMPROVING BICYCLE INFRASTRUCTURE WITH THE USE OF BICYCLE SHARE TRAVEL DATA.

▼ Bicycling as a mode of transportation has been increasing in recent years due to its environmental and health benefits. The availability of bicycles through bicycle share programs has made bicycling a more viable option. With this increase, there is a need for complementary improvements of bicycle infrastructure. Many local and regional transportation agencies are recognizing this need and developing a master plan or safety action plan to improve the city’s bicycle and walking facilities. This study examines bicycle travel demands and travel patterns in Lexington, Kentucky as generated by SPIN bicycle share users. It is hypothesized that the SPIN users emulate bicycle users on and around the University of Kentucky campus. Therefore, analyzing their travel patterns will provide a valuable understanding of bicycle demand and infrastructure needs. To identify such demand, travel patterns and routes were compared to the existing bicycle infrastructure in order to determine improvement needs with an ulterior goal to increase bicycling as a mode of transportation. The methods of study include five levels of analysis: length and duration, temporal, climatic, point density, and modeling. Recommendations for improving routes and parking facilities have been developed based on analytical methods and results obtained. The findings support the notion that bicycle infrastructure influences the travel paths cyclists take. The research supports the idea that commuters are using SPIN bicycles to chain their trips with transit and completing the last or first section of the trip with a bicycle. It was found that bicycle travel demand fluctuates with weather patterns. Furthermore, future work could use the existing data and conduct a detailed analysis on the individual trip level to determine what percentage of a completed trip was taken on an existing bicycle facility or on a non-facility. These findings should aid transportation planning and city officials to make decisions for expanding the existing bicycle network in efforts to minimize the percentage of cyclists who take a detour and the length of detours when necessary.

▼ The self-service bike sharing systems, which offer an environmentally friendly option for the first-and-last mile transportation, have become prevalent in urban cities. In this dissertation, I aim to integrate the advanced Data Mining techniques and Operations Management algorithms for bike sharing system daily operations management, service area expansion, and station site selection.
Daily Operations Management. Due to the geographical and temporal unbalance of bike usage demand, a number of bikes need to be reallocated among stations during midnight so as to maintain a high service level of the system. To conduct such bike rebalancing operations, I develop a bike demand predictor for station pick-up demand and drop-off demand prediction. Then, a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model is formulated to optimize the routing problem of rebalancing vehicles. To address the challenge of computational efficiency, I propose a data-driven hierarchical optimization methodology to decompose the multi-vehicle routing problem into smaller and localized single-vehicle routing problems.
Expansion Area Demand Analysis. Another key to success for a bike sharing systems expansion is the bike demand prediction for expansion areas. I develop a hierarchical station bike demand predictor which analyzes bike demands from functional zone level to station level. Specifically, I first divide the studied bike stations into functional zones by a novel Bi-clustering algorithm which is designed to cluster bike stations with similar POI characteristics and close geographical distances together. Then, the hourly bike check-ins and check-outs of functional zones are predicted by integrating three influential factors: distance preference, zone-to-zone preference, and zone characteristics. The station demand is estimated by studying the demand distributions among the stations within the same functional zone.
Station Site Location Selection. In an ideal bike sharing network, the station locations are usually selected in a way that there are balanced pick-ups and drop-offs among stations. This can help avoid expensive re-balancing operations and maintain high user satisfaction. Here I propose a bike sharing network optimization approach based on an Artificial Neural Network for station demand prediction and a Genetic Algorithm for station site optimization. The goal is to enhance the quality and efficiency of the bike sharing service by selecting the right station locations.
