| dc.description.abstract | In response to the government policy of promoting the green transportation and the increasing environmental protection consciousness, the bike is a well-known green transport mode for its low impact to environment and therefore become one of the major part of the future green transportation system currently being developed in Taiwan.
In recent years, the number of bike-riding has significantly increased, and the right of way for the bike-rider is gradually emphasized. In general, current road conditions do not provide sufficient safe and appropriate environment for the bike-rider, bicycle safety is therefore a critical issue to be concerned. In Taiwan, the bikeway system exists many problems to improve. It’s not only necessary to improve the bikeway environment but also the infrastructure of the bikeway system to provide safety to cyclists and to provide the utilization rate of bicycles.
The research surveys the documents of the standards for the leisure and the commuting bikeway to apply to the existing bikeways of Taoyuan county as the scope of study. The Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) and Analytic Network Process (ANP) are utilized to build and connect appraisal criteria to estimate the improvement indices for the existing bikeways. Six items are chosen, including safety, guide, continuity, convenience, comfortable, and interesting issues. By collecting the viewpoints from government, academic units and the industry, the weights with interrelationship among criteria are generated, and The VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) is used to find out the difference of negative and positive ideal solutions between the existing bikeways and preferences of users, and we may make some suggestions. Thus, this research expects to find the influential factor of a bikeway system, and then improve the bikeway system progressively, and make a good environment and service quality to the bike-riders in an urban area.
