1 Research on cycling infrastructure in Copenhagen Planner City of Copenhagen

2 Research on cycling infrastructure CPH Bicycle Account (risk calculation) Narrow cycle lane in intersection (conflict registration) Cycling travelling speed and green wave (floating bike)

3 The Bicycle Account/Cycling Policy and research The Account - seen over more than 10 years - becomes a research project The Policy has initiated a specific project on cycling travelling speed The Account made it possible to calculate risk

4 What cyclists think

5 Goals and key figures

6 Risk calculations based on Bicycle Account

7 Conflict registration - narrow cyclelane

8 Conflict registration Investigations has shown, that cyclists feel unsafe on shortened cycletracks in intersections In 2 intersections, a shortened cycletrack was extended as a narrow lane to pedestrian crossing and stopline for cars was withdrawn 15 hours of observation in each intersection both before and after reconstruction Conflict registration used for the first time in Copenhagen

9 S T C Serious conflicts Slight conflicts Potential conflicts Accidents Undisturbed passages

10 S T C Method developed by Lunds Technical University, Sweden Systematic registration of conflicts between road users can give an indication of the number of accidents in the long run Results from conflict studies can quickly describe safety implications of new designs - not waiting 3-5 years collecting accident information from police Registration only by trained and experienced personnel Everything is videofilmed

11 Conflicts - results of investigation FIRST INTERSECTION: Serious conflicts Slight conflicts All conflicts Before: After: SECOND INTERSECTION: Serious conflicts Slight conflicts All conflicts Before: After: More data needed
