Abstract
Since bicycle traffic is not sufficiently considered in road planning processes, at present, the road space for bicycle traffic is not serviced sufficiently on many roads. It is necessary to develop evaluation indices of the dangers of bicycle traffic, in order to determine the appropriate road space required for bicycle traffic responding to road and traffic conditions. In the present study, the traffic conflict phenomenon of bicycle traffic is analyzed. Space occupancy indices are applied to the analysis. Throughout the analysis, the applicability of the traffic conflict indices to the phenomenon of bicycle traffic is examined.
