OBJECTIVE The purpose of this field study was to compare the physiological responses from cycling on a tandem road bicycle to those from cycling on a single road bicycle. METHODS Nine pairs of experienced, recreational tandem cyclists rode a tandem or their single bicycle for 5 min at each velocity of 19.3, 22.5, 25.8, and 29.0 kph on a flat, paved surface. Heart rate (HR), rating of perceive...

Recent strategies to improve the performance of cycling mode transport are based on infrastructural, behavioral, and multimodal measures, which related concept bikeability. A literature review “bikeability indexes” was conducted focusing indicators, using a four-step systematic process. Fourteen studies were included for final analysis provided 138 17 criteria, four domains. The exploratory evi...

In order to understand the overtaking behavior of, overtaking physical separation events between bicycles and mopeds was taken out. According to the analytical model of road bicycle passing events vehicle spatial features, the bicycle passing events into free events overtaking, adjacent events and blocked events, and based on the bicycle traffic flow velocity distribution characteristics and bi...

As local transportation systems are facing enormous challenges in consequence of extensive urban growth, technological advancements are creating unprecedented opportunities as the Internet is extending into the real world, connecting physical items to the virtual world and creating an Internet of Things (IoT). While many activities are exploring corresponding applications, e.g. connecting bicyc...

Vehicle (bike or car) sharing represents an emerging transportation scheme which may comprise an important link in the green mobility chain of smart city environments. This chapter offers a comprehensive review of algorithmic approaches for the design and management of vehicle sharing systems. Our focus is on one‐way vehicle sharing systems (wherein customers are allowed to pick‐up a vehicle at...
