Bicycle Longitudinal Motion Modeling (original) (raw)
This research effort uses vehicular traffic flow techniques to model bicyclist longitudinal motion while accounting for bicycle interactions. Specifically, an existing car-following model, the Fadhloun-Rakha (FR) model is re-parametrized to model bicyclists. Initially, the study evaluates the performance of the proposed model formulation using experimental datasets collected from two ring-road bicycle experiments; one conducted in Germany in 2012, and the second in China in 2016. The validation of the model is achieved through investigating and comparing the proposed model outputs against those obtained from two state-of-the-art models, namely: the Necessary Deceleration Model (NDM), which is a model specifically designed to capture the longitudinal motion of bicyclists; and the Intelligent Driver Model, which is a car-following model that was demonstrated to be suitable for single-file bicycle traffic. Through a quantitative and qualitative evaluation, the proposed model formulatio...
