Capacity Analysis of Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities
Recommended Procedures for the "Bicycles" Chapter of the Highway Capacity Manual
Source: Federal Highway Administration
The following are the procedures recommended for future versions of Chapter 14, "Bicycles," of the Highway Capacity Manual (TRB, 1994). The objective of this project was to develop revised operational analysis procedures for transportation facilities with pedestrian and bicyclist users. This document contains both new and revised procedures for analyzing various types of exclusive and mixed-use bicycle facilities. These procedures are recommended to determine the level of service for bicycle facilities on the basis of previous domestic and international bicycle operations research conducted to date. This document only addresses procedures for streets, roads, and intersections with designated bicycle facilities.
In addition to this report, there were two additional reports produced as part of this effort on Capacity Analysis of Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities. These reports are subtitled as:
1) Recommended Procedures for the "Pedestrian" Chapter of the Highway Capacity Manual (FHWA-RD-98-107)
2) Recommended Procedures for the "Signalized Intersection" Chapter of the Highway Capacity Manual (FHWA-RD-98-106)
