Description
In this research project, existing methods for determining the mobility behavior of cyclists will be evaluated, and a promising approach will be tested in practice as part of a pilot study. The aim is to determine the exposure, i.e. the distances covered by cyclists, divided into bicycle and e-bike usage. Existing bicycle counts will also be integrated into the pilot study. Based on the insights gained, a proposal for the future calculation of cycling exposure in Switzerland will be developed.
