Development of the bicycle compatibility index : a level of service concept / by Harkey, David L.(CARDINAL)209144; United States.Federal Highway Administration.(CARDINAL)139839; University of North Carolina (System).Highway Safety Research Center.(CARDINAL)161140;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 85-86).Introduction -- Development and validation of the methodology -- Data collection -- Data analysis -- Intersection pilot study -- Summary & conclusions -- Appendices -- References.Final report;This research effort was undertaken to develop a methodology for deriving a bicycle compatibility index (BCI) that could be used by practitioners to evaluate the capability of specific roadways to accommodate both motorists and bicyclists. The BCI methodology was developed for urban and suburban roadway segments (i.e., midblock locations that are exclusive of major intersections) and incorporated those variables which bicyclists typically use to assess the "bicycle friendliness" of a roadway (e.g., curb lane width, traffic volume, and vehicle speeds). The developed tool will allow practitioners to evaluate existing facilities in order to determine what improvements may be required as well as to determine the geometric and operational requirements for new facilities. Also discussed in this report is the application of the developed methodology used for rating midblock segments to intersections and an assessment of the validity of such an approach for rating the bicycle compatibility of intersections.Performed by University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center, under contract no.

Travel behavior 2011. by National Research Council (U.S.).Transportation Research Board.(CARDINAL)141287;
Includes bibliographical references.TRB's Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2230 consists of 15 papers that explores the role of social networks in start time and duration of activities, choices related to bicycle commuting, route choice behavior, continuous activity planning for continuous traffic simulation, large-scale single-day survey samples, and parametric hazard functions. This issue of the TRR also examines travel trends for young Germans and Britons, the role of psychological factors in mode choice models, repetitiveness of daily travel, influences on choice of travel mode, choice of daily route, semicooperative agent-mediated joint activity-travel scheduling, influences on the use of nonmotorized transport mode, changes in variations of travel time expenditure, and escorting children to school.

Lawman's choice / by Hogan, Ray,1908-1998.(CARDINAL)720950;
Matt Kollister was a marshal without a town, en route to Mexico, the scapegoat in a murderous political scandal. As he fled south, Kollister happened upon the town of Shoham, and it was as if unseen hands arranged the playing pieces of his future before him. Shoham was a town without a marshal, caught in a battle between a forceful rancher and an enclave of outlaws. When he rode in, the coal merchants thought Kollister was the enforcer sent in answer to their letters to Washington; when they found out otherwise, they made their case to him nevertheless: the town was in danger of being shot to pieces and they needed a man of Kollister’s training and determination to save them. Matt’s bitterness and resolve to abandon his profession ran almost as deep as his dedication, but not quite. He was a lawman – it was in his blood like a serum. He just hoped he could stay alive long enough to see the job through.
