The report documents a Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) sponsored study to create a model that predicts how bicyclists perceive the arterial roadway environment. It builds upon FDOT's highly successful adopted segment and intersection bicycling level of service (LOS) models. Data for the new Bicycle LOS for Arterials model were obtained from the FDOT's innovative 'Ride for Science' field data collection event and video simulations, which was conducted November 12, 2005. The data consist of participants' perceptions of how well roadways met their needs as they rode selected arterial roadways and/or viewed simulations of those and other roadways. The objective of this most recent research was to create a user calibrated method which could be used to rate a wide range of arterial roadway conditions for how well they serve the bicycle mode. The desire to have users rate a wide range of environments led to the FDOT to request the use of a video simulation methodology to represent the more extreme traffic conditions found on some arterial roadways.
