The purpose of this cross-sectional, descriptive study was to assess the rates of helmet and to examine variables related to bicycle helmet use in a sample of 8-16 year old Turkish children. Data were collected from a purposive sample of 1180 students who self-identified as cyclists and 1128 parents or guardians in two state primary schools in two urban municipalities in the northern part of Is...

One of the challenging problems with bicycle simulators is to deal with the virtual bicycle dynamics that is coupled with rider’s motion. For the virtual bicycle dynamics calculation and the real time simulation, it is necessary to identify the control inputs from the rider as well as the virtual environments. The steering, pedaling, and braking torques can be easily measured by using torque se...

To facilitate the intelligent and automated provision of mobility services by autonomous transportation systems, bike-sharing can be a supplement to public transport for addressing their point-to-point issue, namely, “last mile” service. However, according different nature land use, uneven spatio-temporal distribution travel demand directly lead difficult access bikes with high costs users oper...

Dockless bicycle sharing is one of the low-carbon transportation modes towards sustainable mobilities. Electric fences, as an effective solution for parking management, may have a high potential in guiding usage dockless bicycles at low operation cost. However, new issues arise with implementation electric fences. The location fences hotspots fails to match demand, leading congestion urban cent...

BACKGROUND Few studies have examined potential disparities in access to transportation infrastructures, an important determinant of population health. PURPOSE To examine individual- and area-level disparities in access to the road network, public transportation system, and a public bicycle share program in Montreal, Canada. METHODS Examining associations between sociodemographic variables a...

The manner in which people use bicycles has changed very little since their invention in 1817. In that time, though, roadways have become congested with a dramatically less environmentally friendly mode of transportation: automobiles. These vehicles and the motorists who drive them represent, at times, a serious threat to the safety of both road cycling enthusiasts and bicycle commuters alike. ...

The sixth edition of Hazard from the Victorian Injury Surveillance System departs a little from the usual Hazard format. The first section is devoted to a preliminary evaluation of the effects of the Victorian bicycle helmet legislation. This edition also undertakes an examination of all bicycle related injuries in the usual format. Bicycle related injuries occur in residential and recreational...
