Assessing bikeway design alternatives : DALMAC route centeral Michigan case study
The objective of this thesis is to explore the differences and possibilities of bikeway design implemented with different treatments by examining the DALMAC bicycle camping tour. In the following steps, the thesis conducted series of analysis to select the final route by assessing three segments (Site A, Site B, and Site C) as study sites from DALMAC (b = 3). The investigation studied treatment including: 1) Existing Treatment, 2) Balance Treatment, 3) Extremely Safe Treatment, 4) Extremely Enjoyable Treatment, and 5) Extremely Environmental Treatment (k = 5). In order to test the differences among treatments statistically through Freidman Test of variances, there is a scoring criteria consisting of 30 questions. As a result, this data indicated that at least one treatment yield different values among all treatments (p ≤ 0.005 or p ≤ 0.001). Furthermore, among all treatments across 3 sites, the Extremely Enjoyable Treatment statistically performed best (p ≤ 0.05). In conclusion, this thesis investigated the potential values of bicycle enjoyment for a specific segment of DALMAC route.
