This two-volume guidebook describes and compares the various methods and tools that can be used to forecast non-motorized travel demand or that otherwise support the prioritization and analyses of bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The guidebook is intended to be used by bicycle and pedestrian planners, technical staff, researchers, advocates, and others who may wish to estimate bicycle and pedestrian travel demand or to prioritize bicycle and pedestrian projects.
This second volume, Supporting Documentation, gives details on each
method, including purpose, structure, input / data needs, assumptions, and real-world
applications. This volume contains an extensive annotated bibliography of references
on demand forecasting methods, supporting tools and techniques, and factors
influencing the choice to walk or bicycle, as well as potential contacts in
this field. The other volume, Overview of Methods, provides an overview
of each of nineteen methods appropriate for forecasting and/or understanding
pedestrian and bicycle travel demand.
