Summary:
In this dissertation, a modelling framework is developed to capture operational cycling behaviour, i.e. decisions and movements cyclists make while cycling and interacting with other cyclists and with the infrastructure. Moreover, a large-scale data collection is performed to obtain cyclist trajectories in different types of interactions. Based on the developed framework and collected trajectories, discrete choice models are estimated. These reveal valuable behavioural insights used to make recommendations for the design of cycling infrastructure.
