A research study by Bloustein School researchers and faculty members Hannah Younes, Clinton Andrews, Robert Noland, Wenwen Zhang, and Leigh Ann Von Hagen, and others, was featured in Discerning Cyclist.
The study, The Traffic Calming Effect of Delineated Bicycle Lanes, found that bicycle lanes, especially those with physical or visual barriers, can have a calming effect on traffic. Using computer vision techniques to analyze the speed and trajectory of over 9,000 cars at a signalized intersection in Asbury Park, New Jersey, the research aimed to quantify the impact of temporary bike lanes on traffic flow and safety.
