Research on Factors Influencing Bicycle Travel Behavior: Advances and Prospect

Abstract

Increasing the share of bicycle travel can help optimize the current urban transport structure and promote the early realization of Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality goals. It is essential to explore the factors that influence bicycle travel behavior. in order to build a cycling-friendly environment and increase residents' willingness to ride. This article has reviewed and summarized the current situation and trends of bicycle travel behavior. research, influencing factors, modelling methods and modelling scales over the past 24 years. This study found that: (1) research in this area has been growing rapidly since 2007, with the US and China ranking as the top two countries in the world in terms of the number of articles published. (2) Socioeconomic, physical environment, built environment and road traffic factors have become the focuses of scholars' attention in examining the influence mechanism of bicycle travel behavior. (3) With the rise of bike-sharing, the application of bike-sharing GPS Spatio-temporal big data to research the influence factors of bicycle travel has become a hot topic. Its modeling methods and spatial scales of modeling are significantly different from those based on residential travel survey data. Finally, the limitations of the current research on the impact factors of bicycle travel behavior. are analyzed. In addition, it is pointed out that individual socio-economic attributes extraction under large samples and fine scales, subjective human perception factors analysis and cycling behavior. in the post-pandemic era in China are important research directions in this field.
