Optimisation of planning of cycling infrastructure (MSM6840770043)
Overview
Background & policy context:
The cycling infrastructure is still uderdeveloped in the Czech Republic. Furthermore, there does not exist ony central database or another source of information about cycling, as it is under authority of cities. The project tries to collect the local data, analyze them and bring suggestion for further development and support of cycling in the Czech Republic.
Objectives:
The main objectives of the project are:
- to analyse development of cyckling infrastructure in Czech towns;
- to suggest and discuss recommendations for optimal design elements of cyclist paths in order to improve user safety;
- to set principles for locating cyclist lanes in traffic space on local road communications.
Methodology:
This interdisciplinary research project is based on theoretical analyses, experimental modelling, numerical simulation, and fieldwork measurements. The objective is gaining knowledge about the researched phenomena, their proper interpretation, formulation of mathematical models including their numerical formulation and verification by means of experiment.
