OBJECTIVES : The objective of this study is to propose a capacity analysis methodology for riverside bike-exclusive roads. METHODS : Three steps were performed to develop a methodology to estimate bikeway capacity. First, we reviewed previous studies on the vehicle-road capacity analysis and proposed their applicability to bikeways. Second, two assumptions were made based on the traffic flow characteristics of bikeways: (1) the capacitated state in bikeways occur within a bicycle platoon, and (2) a bicycle platoon consists of more than three bicycles running in close proximity. In addition, it is assumed that the mean time headway of a bicycle platoon represents the characteristics of the platoon. The normality of the mean-time headway of a bicycle platoon calculated using the central limit theorem leads to the development of a method that estimates the riverside bikeway capacity using data collected from two different riverside bike-exclusive roads (Han-river and Anyangcheon). We used a location-fixed video camera to record videos of running bicycles and wrote a special-purpose software program to code the time-headway data from the videos. RESULTS : Time headways from 189 bicycle platoons were analyzed. The estimated mean-time headway of the capacitated bicycle flow is 1.01 s, from which the capacity of the bikeway is found to be 3578 vehicles/h. CONCLUSIONS : The proposed method that estimates bikeway capacity could be applicable to the analysis of short-range congested area rather than planning the number of lanes. In other words, it determines the sections that are temporarily highly congested and proposes appropriate strategies to mitigate the congestion.

본 연구에서는 국내의 연속류 자전거도로에 대한 차두시간 분포 모형을 개발하고자 하였다. 현장조사를 통해 수집된 데이터를 교통량으로 구분하여 분석하였으며, 교통량의 기준은 전체 교통량을 분포를 고려하여 1분당 8대 미만은 낮은 수준의 교통량으로 하고 8대 이상은 높은 수준의 교통량으로 구분하였다. 차두시간의 집계간격은 기존의 자동차교통류에서 일반적으로 적용해오던 0.5초를 적용하였다. 적용된 분포는 기본적인 정규분포와 함께 음지수분포, 전이된 음지수분포, 피어슨 III분포이며, 카이스퀘어 검정 분석결과 음지수분포와 전이된 음지수분포에서 방향과 교통량 구분 모두에서 이론치와 관측치간에 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 제시된 자전거 차두시간 분포모형의 적정성을 판단하기 위한 분석결과, 역시 동일하게 음지수분포와 전이된 음지수분포가 적합한 것으로 나타났다.
