Planning and design guidelines for accommodating non-motorized transportation in suburban office parks
… Other guidelines address the accommodation of non-motorized transportation in land uses such as residential, commercial, and retail. However, one land use for which such guidelines have not been developed is the suburban office park. Suburban office parks are commonly large in size with …

Recreation conflict and management options in the Vail Pass Winter Recreation Area, Colorado, USA
… response rate 89%) from randomly selected VPWRA non-motorized and motorized recreationists. A cluster analysis revealed significant changes in reported conflict over more than 10 years of recreation zoning at the VPWRA. Overall, the management system was effective at reducing, but not eliminating …

Smartphone-based mobility mapping and Perceived Air Quality evaluation in Beijing
… is measured by number of trips, number of non-motorized trips, percentage of non-motorized trips, total distance traveled and total travel time. The air quality is measured by AQI and PAQ. The Random Effect regression models show that the association between travel behavior and air quality …

Assessment of Public Land Values and a Comparison Amongst Nonresident Outdoor Recreationists in Montana
Recent data shows that three quarters of nonresident vacationers to Montana are primarily attracted to characteristics of public lands such as national parks, mountains and forests, and open space. Thirty-five percent of Montana is public land, therefore understanding what values those visitors …

Understanding Micromobility in New York City: An Examination of Vehicle Type Use and User Behavior in Protected Bicycle Facilities
… of micromobility vehicles (MMVs), specifically motorized two-wheeled vehicles in urban mobility networks, has gained significant attention over the past decade. Many have commented on a perceived increase in MMV use in New York City (NYC) in particular, a trend that appears to have accelerated …

Bicycle and Pedestrian Traffic Monitoring and AADT Estimation in a Small Rural College Town
Non-motorized (i.e., bicycle and pedestrian) traffic patterns are an understudied but important part of transportation systems. A key need for transportation planners is traffic monitoring programs similar to motorized traffic. Count campaigns can help estimate mode choice, measure infrastructure …

The global walkability index
… by studying existing tools for evaluating non-motorized transport and by consulting experts from a variety of related fields. After considering different methods for survey area selection, field data collection, and data aggregation, I created prototypes of the index and survey materials …

Step By Step: Suburban Active Transportation Planning in Spring Hill, Tennessee
… Active Transportation (AT), defined as non-motorized travel modes such as walking and cycling, has the potential to provide suburban residents with alternative mobility options. In 2015, Spring Hill, Tennessee, a city with suburban form and no dense urban core, adopted a Bicycle and …

Forecasting 65+ travel : an integration of cohort analysis and travel demand modeling
… person miles traveled, usage of transit and non-motorized modes, and trip chaining propensity. Data extracted from the 1977, 1983, 1990, and 1995 National Personal Transportation Surveys (NPTS) are used to estimate discrete and joint discrete/continuous demand models. Multiple imputation is …

Mapping the spaces in-between: how ICT can assist in providing a safer and more efficient commuter experience for all
… public transport systems are highly reliant on non-motorized transport (NMT) systems. This is due to issues of affordability, efficiency and spatial proximity of large portions of the population in relation to public transport facilities. Therefore, a substantial amount of urban mobility is …

Mode and Departure Time Choice Behavior of Non-Work Related Trips
Non-work-related trips comprise a considerable percent of total trips, but there are a limited number of studies that investigate travel behavior related to these trips. This study investigates non-work-related travel behavior in two parts. The first part examines mode choice behavior, while the …
