Protocols and Technologies for Monitoring Non-Motorized Traffic

Summary:

Measuring bicycle and pedestrian traffic is in its infancy, and a current lack of data makes it difficult to know the effectiveness of investments and active transportation-related safety and health initiatives. This project developed guidelines and protocols for manual field counts, held pilot field counts and analyzed automated count technologies to determine how they can be used together to give a more complete picture of bicycle and pedestrian traffic.
