Abstract:

Over the past decade, mopeds have experienced rapid growth in China. Its proportion in the resident trip mode structure is more than that of bicycles. Traffic management regulations in China define mopeds as non-motorized vehicle and they share bike lanes with bicycles. Thus a new kind of non-motorized traffic flow that is mixed with bicycles and mopeds comes into being. Existing bike lane capacity take the traffic flow consisting of only bicycles as the study object, lacking of studies on capacity oriented to characteristics mixed non-motorized traffic flow. Based on the status quo of non-motorized traffic flow and field data collected in Shanghai, influence of factors on capacity of bike lane is analyzed. This study makes up for the deficiency of the studies existing and is useful for the design of bike lane and operating management of non-motorized traffic.
