There are so many methods in estimating car traffic volume.However, methods about estimating bicycle traffic flow are very few.So I want to know some methods can estimate bicycle traffic volume.
Pedestrian and bicycle voulems are recorded same the way the vehicle recorded.. empirical data collected through video recordings at different locationsempirical data collected through video recordings at 8 different locations along the cycle track
For example, two synchronised cameras covering the observational area on the cycle track are used for the video recordings.
If you can't use video recitdungs, them count them manually
Within the last decade mobility research has increasingly adopted tracking data from mobile phones. Bicycle usere can be extracted from the total file by selection of specific parameters identifying biciyles . Video data can be used for validation of mobil phone data
Whenever we conduct vehicle classification count, we also incorporate in the survey the bicycles, for future references. The use of video is also recommended.
