{"pk":3506,"title":"Selecting Bicycle Commuting Routes Using GIS","subtitle":null,"abstract":"This study develops a procedure for using a geographic information system (GIS) to select bicycle routes in a city. The procedure includes: developing the required database, finding the most desirable route between each origin­ destination pair, and identifying the best bicycle routes in a city. The study shows that GIS is a powerful tool for developing a database from various readily available sources; that it can conveniently integrate quantitative analysis, data manipulation, and visualization in one operating environment; and that GIS is uniquely capable of performing spatial analyses that are critical to the selection of bicycle routes.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9pf2j1pd","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Yuanlin","middle_name":"","last_name":"Huang","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":"None"},{"first_name":"Gordon","middle_name":"","last_name":"Ye","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2012-07-25T00:18:30Z","date_accepted":"2012-07-25T00:18:30Z","date_published":"1995-07-24T07:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/ucb_crp_bpj/article/3506/galley/2263/download/"}]}
