Evaluating the Use of Crowdsourcing as a Data Collection Method for Bicycle Performance Measures and Identification of Facility Improvement Needs

Principal Investigator:

Miguel Andres Figliozzi, Portland State University

Summary:

Although there is a great body of knowledge and practice to measure motorized vehicle highway infrastructure performance levels and activity, the same cannot be said about bicycle infrastructure performance and network usage. Although the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) collects some bicycle/pedestrian data, the quality and quantity of bicycle data are not as abundant as the data collected for motor vehicles. In particular, there is scant information regarding bicyclist routes (origin-destination) and adequacy of existing bicycle facilities.
