Recent emphasis on alternatives to automobile transportation has brought to light deficiencies in basic research performed in bicycle traffic science. This report addresses an important need for fundamental understanding of bicycle-automobile mixed-traffic. Such understanding allows engineers to mitigate traffic hazards to bicyclists through improved facility design and operation. This report presents models of (1) gap acceptance behavior and (2) bicyclist behavior at the onset of a yellow traffic signal indication, in addition to analysis of (3) coordinting traffic signals to provide (simultaneous) progression for both bicycles and automobiles. Fundamental insights into mixed-traffic behavior are derived and applied to selected problems in mixed-traffic engineering and operations.
