Comprehensive Cycle Infrastructure Auditing and Design Tool - CyLOS
This project seeks to develop a tool to help planners and designers develop an effective Nonmotorized transport (NMT) infrastructure, which attracts both choice and captive riders and shall be called CyLOS or short for ‘Cycling Level of Service.’ The availability of such a tool will direct attention and corrective action towards specific development, implementation and operation issues, resulting in a user appropriate infrastructure. Such efforts in the long term, when replicated across the city, would ensure better utility of investments made in non-motorized transport, generating higher use and better public image. Identification of the indicators, developing and benchmarking of indicators for the evaluation. Appling weightages based on comprehensive stakeholder- based reviews gathered from different cities. Finalization of the modeling tool and training.
