Analysis on automobile-bicycle conflict and calculation method for the width of bicycle lane on urban road
In order to provide reference for bicycle lane design
conflict between roadside bicycle and automobile was observed on urban road. The influences of the number of roadside bicycle per lane on conflict were analyzed. The models between them were established respectively for arterial road
sub arterial road
and branch road by regression method. One accident per week and month were selected as threshold values and conflict between automobile and bicycle was divided to slight conflict
general conflict
and serious conflict according to the relation between the number of conflict and accident. Based on established models
calculation method of bicycle lane width was given according to conflict grade division
and case study was conducted. It shows that the number of conflict between automobile and bicycle increased with the raise of the number of roadside bicycle and there were quadratic function relations between them for arterial road and branch road and power function relation between them for sub-arterial road. When conflict grade reached serious degree
it was necessary to widen bicycle lane and increase the number of bicycle lane so as to decrease the number of bicycle per lane and conflict between automobile and bicycle and improve safety level of bicycle.
