Yet, a profound increase in bicycling activity for many cities remains elusive to policymakers, practitioners, and researchers largely because of the inability to attract new bicyclists <em>via</em> safer bicycling infrastructure provision. To better understand current bicycling barriers to its future adoption, this study describes the advancement of the Cyclist Routing Algorithm for Network Connectivity (CRANC) and its application as an accessibility-oriented transportation planning tool in eight Arizona metropolitan regions. CRANC, an innovative bicyclist routing platform sensitive to bike network conditions and the varying traffic safety concerns of cyclist types (interested but concerned, enthused and confident, strong and fearless), is designed to support utilitarian bicycling promotion by identifying its latent demand. In this application, local and regional discrepancies in bicycling accessibility to jobs, schools, and grocery stores are identified and visualized by integrating the concepts of cyclist types and bicycle level of traffic stress into a new bicycling accessibility metric. Study findings show significant differences in place-based bicycling accessibility across key sociodemographic and economic indicators for the interested but concerned cyclist type, who prefers dedicated bike facilities, slower vehicle speeds, and lower traffic volumes. A recognition of these variations is important for promoting equitable bicycling access to subsistence and maintenance activities for those individuals who do not presently use this sustainable mode but would if barriers to access were removed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47824,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Transportation","volume":"19 2","pages":"Pages 180-193"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143488048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These models, based on a locally weighted linear regression method, can serve as a simpler alternative to more conventional methods based, for example, on engine maps obtained by steady-state characterization at engine testbeds, and combined with powertrain subsystem models. The present methodology was applied to a conventional diesel-powered vehicle. Three different modeling approaches are proposed: vehicle-based (VB), engine-based (EB) and engine-based modified (EB*). The VB approach is the simplest, being able to estimate the vehicle fuel consumption by only using, as inputs, wheel torque and speed, while the EB and EB* approaches enhance modeling accuracy by using engine speed and torque, as inputs, along with transmission-related parameters and/or by considering the moments of inertia of the powertrain rotating parts. The manuscript describes, in full, the process used to develop these models, providing significant guidance for researchers who may want to replicate the procedure with their own experimental data. These energy consumption models can be useful tools for the development and assessment of eco-driving or ADAS functions or for energy consumption comparison between different vehicles that were not tested on the same driving cycle. They can also support the estimation of the total energy consumption of vehicles along different traffic conditions or routes, based on a limited number of experiments and low computational effort.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47824,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Transportation","volume":"19 2","pages":"Pages 165-179"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143488050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
