It can be done-- counting bicycles and cars, at the same time, with the same equipment! In this presentation my colleagues and I share the results of our research, which was published in the ITE Journal.

Let’s say 1,000 bicyclists cross the tubes 4 feet from the counter.

Applying Correction Factors
At this distance, the counter has an average accuracy of 94.68%, so we can expect 947 bicyclists will be counted.

Applying Correction Factors
Using the correction factor to correct for the known undercount, we can calculate that 1,000 bicyclists crossed the tubes

With a confidence interval of 2.68%, the margin of error for this count is ± 27 bicyclists

Since the margins
of error are larger
at greater distances,
using two counters
will minimize the
margin of error.

56. What’s possible now?
•
Calculating Bicycle Miles Traveled (BMT) on county roads.
•
Tracking long term trends of bicycling rates.
•
Estimating county-wide and corridor specific mode share. (Using bike count data in combination with vehicle counts and transit ridership)
•
Better understanding of bicycle traffic and travel patterns during design phases of roadway projects.
•
Better prioritization of investments. (Should widths; intersection treatments)
•
Ability to evaluate the impact, use and safety of new investments.
