Traffic flow theory-based modeling of bike-vehicle interactions for enhanced safety and mobility by Mustafa Gadah, Xuesong Zhou, Mohammad Abbasi, Vamshi Yellisetty

“…We establish a unique four-stage method for assessing bike-vehicle traffic interaction on designated road links: 1) Given the input of volume, we convert it to speed and density using the fundamental diagram and Q-K curves under different congestion conditions. 2) We analyze vehicle trajectories and utilize an input-output (moving queue) diagram to calculate the total exposures between bikes and vehicles as a function of speed difference and the product of bike and vehicle volume, ensuring the balance equations for both vehicle and bike exposure individually. 3) Beginning at the moment a vehicle enters a shared facility, we apply an illustrative method to determine the duration of individual exposure time, adjusting Newell’s car-following model to accommodate for various phases of driver reactions, transitioning from anticipation to overtaking/yield phase. 4) We measure the overall impact of exposure on mobility and safety using a multimodal semi-dynamic traffic assignment that focuses on both delay and exposure-based utility across various facility types and development scenarios. …”
