DESCRIPTION:Prof. Luis F. Miranda-Moreno\, McGillUniversity\, Montreal\, Q
 uebec\, Canada\nMonitoring and analyzing non-motorized (pedestrians and bi
 cycle) flows over time and space in a urban road network is essential for 
 various reasons\, including i) evaluation of the impacts of new infrastruc
 ture\, programs and policies to encourage cycling and walking\, ii) identi
 fication of current traffic patterns and prediction of future demand for t
 he planning\, design and operation of facilities\, iii) mapping injury ris
 k for the identification of dangerous facilities and inappropriate designs
 \, etc. This work provides a discussion of the non-motorized traffic data 
 needs and the emerging technologies for traffic monitoring and data collec
 tion. Using the City of Montreal as an application environment\, this work
  also presents a framework for monitoring and modeling safety and mobility
  of non-motorized flows in an urban environment. As an input data\, automa
 tic long-term and manual sort-term traffic counts are combined. This frame
 work allows identifying factors affecting non-motorized traffic flows and 
 safety\, such as weather\, built environment and road designs. The propose
 d framework will also help monitoring changes in non-motorized mobility an
 d safety in the study network.
