Abstract
This study analyzes route choice consciousness of cyclists considering users’ characteristics based on questionnaire. First, we defined the emphasis score for route choice and conducted aggregate analyses. As a result, it is shown that the sports cycle (SC) users tend to highly evaluate for road condition, without bumps, without on-street parking vehicle/bicycle than the city cycle users and the long trip users have a tendency to give importance to the running stability than the short trip users by statistical test. Second, we conducted linear discriminant analysis and clarified the influence of the vehicle type and their trip lengths on their route choice evaluation for five evaluation items. Finally, we identified the six-factors for route choice consciousness by factor analysis and considered about the differences in users characteristics. It is revealed that SC users with long trip length worry about travelling fluidity and exogenous load, whereas city cycle users with short length trip concern about good visibility and good road condition.
