BikeRouter was created as part of SF-CHAMP (San Francisco's Activity-Based Travel Demand Model) in order to represent the impact of bicycle facilities.
BikeRouter's main components: (1) tools to compile, clean, and screen bicycle route data collected with the CycleTracks smart phone application. (2) tools to generate a set of possible path choices and create a viable estimation dataset suitable to estimate a path size logit route choice model. (3) tools to generate log-sums of the path choice set in order to inform a series of mode-choice models (4) bike assignment algorithms to simulate a bicyle assignment given demand between origins and destinations.
