"Fahrverhalten, Flächenanspruch und Sicherheit von Radverkehr auf Gefällestrecken "

TENDER DESCRIPTION

The objective of the research project is to close gaps in knowledge regarding traffic safety, riding behavior and space requirements for cycle traffic on downhill and uphill sections. The statements in the current body of rules are not suitable to provide planners with sufficient guidance for the traffic-safe and attractive design of the routing of cycle traffic. The current starting situation is characterised by the fact that downhill stretches for cycle traffic involve an increased risk of accidents (UDV No. 96/98). This applies to all roads, with and without separate cycle traffic facilities. The risk, however, presents itself differently depending on the location. Thus, in around 17% of single accidents involving cyclists with personal injury, the accident site characteristic “downhill” is given; for accidents outside built-up areas, this is considered in around 39% (UDV No. 98). For this reason, the rules of FGSV and internationally recommend wider carriageway widths for cycle traffic on downhill stretches. However, no specific recommendations are provided. It is nevertheless plausible that various aspects are closely connected with the speeds of cycle traffic. At the same…
