Have you or someone you know conducted some bicycle research? Please consider submitting the results of your work as a paper for the Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board, reaching thousands of transportation professionals and researchers. For more information and to submit papers: http://www.trb.org/news/blurb_detail.asp?id=10482 ******************* Call For Papers: Designing Bicycle FacilitiesTRB 89th Annual MeetingJanuary 10-14, 2010Sponsoring Committee: ANF20 – Bicycle Transportation The committee invites papers on design of facilities for bicyclists. Bicycle facilities are designed in many ways. Knowledge about relationships between performance and design features is important in order to create good design guidelines and to give designers the possibility of making well-informed design decisions. “The devil often lies within the detail”. However, many of these details are yet to be revealed when it comes to design of bicycle facilities. Facilities of interest include, but are not limited to, bicycle lanes (colored and/or striped), cycle tracks and hard shoulders along roadways, separate bicycle paths and multi-purpose paths, and facilities at intersections such as bicycle boxes or advanced stop lines. The committee is interested in how design features such as width, marking, signing, pavement smoothness, pavement coloring, intersection design, placement of parked automobiles and placement of plantings influence the performance e.g. operating characteristics, road safety, level of service, and the facility’s effectiveness in attracting and generating bicyclists. This may include user perceptions of the facilities. We are soliciting papers that document the performance of bicycle facilities and identify design features, which influence performance. Bicycle facilities vary tremendously in design within the United States and abroad. Papers on comparative research and from a variety of setting are encouraged. We are also particularly interested in before-after or with-without studies, as well as dedicated cross-sectional studies. Also, please visit the Committee's website for guidance on writing papers for publication: http://www.bicyclinginfo.org/trbbike/research.cfm Call Organizer: Søren Underlien Jensen, suj@trafitec.dk Authors interested in submitting papers are advised to visit www.trb.org and review the Information for Authors. Authors submitting papers in response to this Call for Papers should submit full papers for peer review to the Transportation Research Board online at www.trb.org by the deadline shown below. Please show the sponsoring committee name or the Call for Papers title on the papers submission form. Please contact the Call for Papers organizer if you are submitting a paper or need additional information. New Paper Submission Requirements for 2010 TRB has a SINGLE paper submittal deadline for the 2010 Annual Meeting. Papers must be in PDF format and submitted prior to midnight Saturday, August 1, 2009 in your time zone. Also, authors are being asked to add line numbering to their papers in their word-processing program (starting with number one on each page) prior to converting to PDF to facilitate the review process. TRB recommends that authors submit their papers well before the deadline to avoid last minute complications and delays. ***************************************************** Call For Papers: Bicycle ResearchTRB 89th Annual MeetingJanuary 10-14, 2010
Sponsoring Committee: ANF20 – Bicycle Transportation The TRB Committee on Bicycle Transportation (ANF20) invites you to submit papers for the upcoming TRB Annual Meeting in 2010. The Committee will consider papers for presentation, poster sessions, and publication in the Transportation Research Record. The Committee is interested in papers on all topics related to the bicycle as a mode of transportation, but is particularly interested in papers that address the following: · Methodologies to estimate levels of bicycling and bicycle trip generation, including location selection and minimal requirements for counts, integration of GIS, automatic devices, non-traditional data collection methods (e.g. surveillance cameras, Friker, bike rack counts, bikes on transit, etc.), and validity/accuracy issues. Papers that learn from or are based on theory/experience from other disciplines are also of interest. · Survey data collection methods, including improving travel and activity surveys to capture bicycle travel. · Improving the collection of bicycle safety/crash data and analyses of such data. · Bicycle technology: the role of bicycle technology in attracting new riders, including electric assist, shifting/gear options, cargo bikes, etc. · Cost-benefit analyses of facilities and non-infrastructure options, including system-wide analyses (city, network, or nationwide) and assessments of monetary or other benefits. · Traffic control accommodations for bicycle traffic at intersections, including the evaluation of the effectiveness and safety of signing & marking schemes, bike detection strategies at signalized intersections, signal timing for bikes, and other innovative accommodations. · Bicycle/Transit interface (access to transit, land use, etc) · Attracting new or recreational cyclists to utilitarian and work trips · Liability aspects of bikeway designation · Motorists' perceptions of bicyclists on roadways, including aggressive driving and bicycling · Designing Bicycle Facilities (see separate call for more details) The committee is interested in papers based on empirical data from the U.S. and abroad. Papers that advance research and methodology and provide specific guidance on furthering the state of practice are encouraged. Also, please visit the Committee's website for guidance on writing papers for publication: http://www.bicyclinginfo.org/trbbike/research.cfm Call Organizer: Jennifer Dill, jdill@pdx.edu Authors interested in submitting papers are advised to visit www.trb.org and review the Information for Authors.
