Review of Bicyclist Microscopic Behavior Studies

Abstract

Abstract:

With the increasing of bicycles in urban areas, modeling and analyzing the bicycle microscopic behavior has become crucial to study the mixed urban traffic. The paper reviews the state of the art in studying the bicycle microscopic behavior on the basis of extensive literatures. The microscopic behavior of bicycles, which is divided into two levels: Operational Level and Selective Level, is analyzed from both a physical and dynamic perspective. The existing models of bicycles can be divided into two categories: rule based approach (e.g., bicycle following models, cellular automata models and Agent models) and force field based approach (e.g., vector field models, social force models and Logic models), the modeling approaches in each of the categories are summarized and evaluated. Finally, the future development trend of bicycle microscopic behavior studying is predicted.

Key words: urban traffic, bicycle, microscopic behavior, microscopic model, traffic simulation, non-motor vehicle

摘要：

随着城市自行车数量的不断增加，对自行车微观行为进行分析和建模，对于研究城市混合交通具有重要作用.本文对现有的自行车微观行为研究进行了回顾和总结，将自行车微观行为分为操作层和选择层两个层次.从行为特性和运动特征两个层面分析了自行车的微观行为，区分基于规则的模型和基于力的模型，对现有自行车微观行为模型进行了总结评述，包括基于规则的模型——自行车跟驰模型、元胞自动机模型和Agent 模型，以及基于力的模型——矢量场模型、社会力模型和Logic 模型.同时，分析了现有研究存在的不足，指出了未来自行车微观行为研究的发展方向.
