Calculation and Visualization of Bicycle Traffic Flows

获奖作品摘要

A digital simulation tool has been developed for the purpose of investigating the possibility  of approximating bicycle traffic systems with a Monte Carlo simulation. Alternative types of transport are important in our fossil fuel based world in order to reduce environmental  impact. Cycling can replace motorized vehicles for shorter distances, however this requires an infrastructure which would allow the transition to a more sustainable path. The project revolved around two major focal points: firstly, how simulation softwares can be designed to adequately facilitate the planning and visualization of infrastructure with respect to bicycle traffic, and secondly what the actual difficulties in doing so would be. The project resulted in a program that both enables modeling of bicycle traffic systems and the use of algorithms such as Dijkstra’s algorithm within the system. The program is able to simulate intelligent and realistic cyclists, as well as produce statistically certain results within reasonable amounts of time. Monte Carlo-simulations performed in the program gave promising results which could be used to plan traffic systems, such as the distribution of travel time and risk exposure for the systems artificial bicycles. The simulation method tested in the program seems to have great potential in describing reality well enough to let the simulation results serve as a decision-making basis for planning bicycle infrastructure; which in the long term promotes travelling by bicycle. The limitations applied to the model do leave relevant factors unmanaged in the simulation and therefore, further field studies are required to evaluate the accuracy of the simulation results.

学科简介：工程力学 Engineering Mechanics

Studies that focus on the science and engineering that involve movement or structure.  The movement can be by the apparatus or the movement can affect the apparatus.

Subcategories:

Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering (AER): Studies involving the design of aircraft and space vehicles and the direction of the technical phases of their manufacture and operation.

Civil Engineering (CIV): Studies that involve the planning, designing, construction, and maintenance of structures and public works, such as bridges or dams, roads, water supply, sewer, flood control and, traffic.

Computational Mechanics (COM): A study that applies the discipline and techniques of computer science and mathematics to solve large and complex problems in Engineering Mechanics.

Control Theory (CON): The study of dynamical systems, including controllers, systems, and sensors that are influenced by inputs.

Ground Vehicle Systems (VEH): The design of ground vehicles and the direction of the technical phases of their manufacture and operation.

Industrial Engineering-Processing (IND): Studies of efficient production of industrial goods as affected by elements such as plant and procedural design, the management of materials and energy, and the integration of workers within the overall system. The industrial engineer designs methods, not machinery.

Mechanical Engineering (MEC): Studies that involve the generation and application of heat and mechanical power and the design, production, and use of machines and tools.

Naval Systems (NAV): Studies of the design of ships and the direction of the technical phases of their manufacture and operation.

Other (OTH): Studies that cannot be assigned to one of the above subcategories. If the project involves multiple subcategories, the principal subcategory should be chosen instead of Other.
