Abstract
This paper describes a model to predict cyclists' behavior of choosing the route in a urban road network. The model is based on the assumption that individual cyclists choose their route to minimize the sum of disutilities derived from the road and traffic conditions of network links. Specifically speaking, a disutility of a link is a function of its length, number of intersections, gradient and an average disutility of a passage. Since a passage is composed of a roadway and a sidewalk, the average disutility is derived from each disutility and the rate of cyclists choosing a sidewalk, A field study has indicated that the presented model produces small difference between the calculated values and measured one.
