A multimodal GIS network analysis of Prague cycling routes

Larry Daniel Shoemaker

Diplomová práce

Anotace:

This multimodal transportation network GIS model simulates the spatial reach interactions between two different modes of transportation infrastructure: the bicycle and the Metro. This research begins with the development of a Prague, Czech Republic based GIS multimodal transportation network dataset consisting of type classified cycling routes and heavy-rail subway Metro routes. The model was used to forecast the separate and combined cycling and Metro network service areas reachable in 15 minute increment time-breaks, from key chosen sections of the city. From this service area generation, a cross-tabulation was performed on OpenSourceMaps data to shed light on available amenities within the time frames (such as number of restaurants, banks, or schools within 30 minutes). Furthermore, the research explores the regional impacts of different phases of planned Metro Subway build out, including the recent Metro A-line extension and the planned Metro D line to Southern Prague.
