This study aimed to devise the method to construct safe and convenient bicycle road by considering the peripheral environmental factor related to using bicycle. Analyzing the existing design of bicycle road and construction case, this study established the method to design bicycle road that reflects site condition and presented the optimal design method for each type of bicycle road to construct safe and convenient bicycle road by analyzing the type of traffic accident for each type of bicycle road, surveying present situation and local survey. It was found that the optimum design of bicycle road for specification, width, curve radius, ascending slope, etc in consideration of peripheral environment and separating traffic between users of traffic means should be done by installing safety sign, safe facilities and separation facilities to design safe bicycle road. Further, the minimum traffic space of bicycle users and connection between bicycle roads should be ensured to design safe bicycle road. It is judged that information related to safety and convenience of bicycle road such as slope, route information, location of convenience facilities, information to the public traffic should be provided so as to activate the users of bicycle.

정부는 자전거 이용활성화에 관한 법률」을 1995년에 제정하여 지자체별 자전거이용시설의 정비계획을 수립하도록 하였지만 실제적으로 수립되고 있는 많은 정비계획들이 아직 초기단계기고, 사전에 충분한 시간을 갖고 세밀한 분석과 연구 없이 수립되다보니 상위계획과의 연계성부족과 지역적 특성에 부합되는 계획안 부족, 도로설계기술의 부족 등 많은 부분에서 문제점들이 지적되고 있다. 따라서 보다 발전한 연구내용의 계획으로 실제적으로 자전거 활성화에 기인하기 위해서 도출되는 문제점들을 진단하고 수정 분석하여 보완하는 작업이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 1995년부터 1998년 상반기까지 내무부에서 검토된 자전거이용시설 정비계획 보고서 중 10개 도시에 대하여 각도시별 정비계획의 문제점을 현황조사부분과 분석부분 계획부분으로 분류하여 분석하고 이의 개선방향을 제시하였다.

전기 에너지가 우리 생활에 유용하게 사용되는 부분이 정말 많다. 최근에는 자전거 열풍이 불면서 덩달아 전동 자전거 업계에도 호황이 일고 있는데, 21C 기후 변화와 환경오염, 교통체증 등의 문제해결을 위한 저탄소 녹색성장의 인식 전환으로 전동 자전거 이용이 늘어나고 있다. 이는 전동 자전거도 전기 에너지가 사용되고 있다 점이다. 하지만 이런 장점을 가지고 있는 전동 자전거를 많은 사람들이 구입하지 못하는 이유가 있다. 대부분의 이유가 '집에 자전거 1대씩 가지고 있는데, 굳이 비싼 돈을 주고 전동 자전거를 구입해야하나?' 라는 생각을 가지게 된다. 또 다른 이유로는 기존의 전동 자전거가 탈 부착 형식이 아닌 일체형으로 나오기 때문에 다른 신제품의 전동 자전거가 나온다면 기존의 전동 자전거의 부품을 사용하지 못 하고 새로운 자전거를 사야 한다는 단점 때문이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 탈 부착이 가능한 전기 자전거 시스템을 구현하고자 한다.

Seoul public bike program facilitates access to bicycles and offers potential for greater mobility and health for users. Furthermore, it would have positive impacts on transport congestion, energy use, and the environment. Hence, it is important to find future rental locations by taking to account both bike-demand and regional imbalance. This paper first finds eligible candidates of rental locations with the required spatial conditions such as a sufficient sidewalk width and accessibility of bike pick-up vehicles. And then, estimates public bike daily usage for each selected location via random forest based on Seoul public bike historical usage, Seoul geographical features, regional characteristics, and populations. This study contributes to a better comprehension of the Seoul public bike program, and would be useful in determining new public bike rental locations.

Cooperative-Intelligent Transport Systems (c-ITS) has emphasized a real-time traffic safety service in urgent situations among highway infrastructure and four-wheeled vehicles, while two-wheeled vehicles, e.g. bicycles and motorcycle, sharing highway space and endangering highway safety, have yet been out of its interest. This paper delivers the results of a study conducted to analyze the patterns of two-wheeled-vehicle traffic accidents experienced in the past, the last three years (2011~2013), and to propose the types of service enhancing the safety of the riders of those. It was found from the analysis of historical accident data that the side collision on a link section should be taken care of for further safety treatment, while the old female drivers need additional care to decrease their fatality rate. By combining the services proposed for bicycles and motorcycles, this paper proposes (1) eight different bicycle-to-everything (B2X) services which can be eventually provided in c-ITS and (2) three of those that would be available in the near future with the current communication technologies.

Currently our country has very serious problems of traffic congestion and urban environment due to increasing automobile ownership. Recently, our concern about environmentally sustainable transportation and green transportation is increasing, so the government is pushing ahead the policy of bicycle using activation. So it is needed to develop a model to analyze the service level of bicycle roads more realistically. In this study, a neuro-fuzzy inference model to analyze the service level of bicycle roads was built selecting the width of bicycle roads, the number of conflicts during cycling and pedestrian volume, which have fuzzy characteristics, as input variables. The predictability of the model was evaluated comparing the surveyed and the estimated. The values of the statistics, $R^2$, MAE and MSE were 0.987, 0.142, 0.032. Therefore, It may be judged that the explainability of the model is very high. The service levels of bicyle roads estimated by the model are 1~3 steps lower than KHCM assessments. The reason may be explained that the model estimates the service level considering the width of bicycle roads and the number of conflicts simultaneously besides pedestrian volume.

Recent days, the global warming problem due to excessive use of fossil fuels has been the world wide issue so that Korea government and developed countries make an alternative plan for eco-friendly and transportations by utilizing bicycles for health promotion. Existing Public Bicycle Rental Service Systems provide simple service such as bicycle rental management and tracking the location. However there is no user-side service for the information of the measure of carbon reduction, or use of bicycles. The proposed system in this paper provides users' health information, environmental information, personal information, counseling services and the measures of carbon reduction. The new system has been developed to carry out reducing carbon and growing green in terms of using bicycles by adopting Web 2.0 technology.

There are many efforts for expanding bikeway plans and increasing bike utilization. In this study the authors try to find the primary factors that affect bike users' satisfaction under limited budgets. As satisfaction is a qualitative variable, the authors developed a bike user satisfaction model by using structural equation methods. The bikeways are distinguished between bike lanes on public roads and exclusive bikeways along the Han River, as the characteristics and attributes should be different. The model shows bikeways on public road have a user satisfaction equal to 0.248*(safety)+0.405(accessibility). Bikeways along the Han River have a user satisfaction equal to 0.437*(accessibility)+0.405*(economic feasibility). In both types, accessibility affects satisfaction. Safety in more important to users on public roads, while economic feasibility affects those on the Han River bikeways.
