Title:
Using environment and physical and physiological parameters of bicyclists to improve their speed choice in traffic modeling.

Keywords:
Bicycling, bicycle traffic, speed choice, traffic modeling, discrete choice analysis, power output, e-bike

Abstract:
Bicycling involves human energy expenditure, however, minimal research focuses on speed choice models that account for bicyclist's energy spending and bicycle type. Existing microscopic traffic simulations inadequately represent cyclist parameters and power outputs, hindering proper infrastructure planning and further research on inclusive urban traffic, especially with rising e-bike use. This study aims to integrate energy aspects into bicyclists' speed choice modeling, enhancing simulation accuracy. This involves developing and testing speed choice models for bicycle traffic in microscopic traffic simulation. Models include environmental parameters, cyclist power reserves, and travel time. Results will provide a more accurate bicyclist behavior model, promoting inclusive urban traffic planning, active mobility, safety, and public health.
