Fayetteville in the U.S. has celebrated its inclusion in the international five-cities pilot of the CycleRAP Assessment Model along with Madrid, Barcelona, Bogota and Sao Paulo.<\/p>\n

The pilot, involving Fundacion Mapfre<\/a>, iRAP, het\u00a0Internationale Wielerunie (UCI)<\/a>\u00a0en\u00a0PTV,<\/a> has worked with local partners in each city to test the model and produce maps showing how safe local infrastructure is for cyclists and users of other types of mobility vehicles. Results and a complementary knowledge base were developed to support other cities undertaking CycleRAP assessments, and to provide general guidance on designing safer streets and networks for cycling and light mobility.<\/p>\n

Fayetteville is the only designated bike city in the country and local network KNWA Fox 24 shared local experience of the year-long trial:<\/p>\n

The pilot found most bike trails in Fayetteville are safe, but confirmed expected high-risk locations, providing the evidence-base to support targeted improvements.<\/p>\n

According to Brannon Pack with Experience Fayetteville, 50 miles of paved trails and street bike lanes were assessed using an electric bike fitted with a GoPro camera. Pack stated the program found at least 70% of the city\u2019s biking trails to be safe.<\/p>\n

\u201cFayetteville truly is an award winning bicycle friendly community but that takes work and has taken years of work by a lot of people to get us to where we are. But there are still more opportunities that exist within our network to make sure everyone that lives in Fayetteville can connect to it,\u201d said Pack.<\/p>\n

CycleRAP is een op bewijs gebaseerd infrastructuurrisico-evaluatiemodel. Het heeft tot doel het aantal aanrijdingen te verminderen en de veiligheid te verbeteren, specifiek voor fietsers en gebruikers van lichte mobiliteit, door locaties met een hoog risico te identificeren zonder de noodzaak van ongevallengegevens. Het model gebruikt gegevens over de kenmerken van een weg, straat of pad om het risico op aanrijdingen voor fietsers en gebruikers van lichte mobiliteit te evalueren \u2014 ongeacht het type voorziening, en om aan te geven waar aanrijdingen waarschijnlijk zullen plaatsvinden, met suggesties voor maatregelen om dit risico te verminderen.<\/p>\n

Understanding the infrastructure risk for cyclists and light mobility users and showcasing best practices to the world have been the main goals of the project.<\/p>\n

Results of the five-cities project were released last month at the UCI Mobiliteit en Fietsstad Forum<\/a> in Belgium.<\/p>\n
