Bunt & Associates is a Canadian transportation planning and engineering company whose work increasingly involves designing urban infrastructure to accommodate active transportation modes such as cycling. The company requires up to date information on the safety of cycling-specific infrastructure, especially where it intersects vehicle or pedestrian facilities, for Metro Vancouver. However, it is estimated that only 30% of incidents involving bikes and vehicles are reported, and other bike incidents are rarely reported. To overcome this gap in cycling safety data, Bunt & Associates is proposing a new partnership with Dr. Trisalyn Nelson of the Spatial Pattern Analysis and Research (SPAR) Lab at the University of Victoria. Dr. Nelson and the SPAR lab have developed a website to capture cycling incidents, BikeMaps.org, through volunteered geographic data. Mapping by citizens in Metro Vancouver is already underway on BikeMaps.org, but could use some additional promotion to increase participation. The proposed research project will use the citizen data collected on BikeMaps.org to answer specific questions on the design of cycling infrastructure. This will include using spatial analysis tools to identify hotspots of cycling risk for Metro Vancouver. In addition, the often overlooked crashes between bikes, bikes and pedestrians, and bikes and infrastructure will be examined.

Bunt & Associates是一家加拿大交通规划和工程公司，其工作越来越多地涉及设计城市基础设施，以适应骑自行车等活跃的交通方式。该公司要求提供关于温哥华地铁自行车专用基础设施安全性的最新信息，特别是与车辆或行人设施相交的地方。然而，据估计，只有30%的涉及自行车和车辆的事件被报告，其他自行车事件很少报告。为了克服自行车安全数据方面的这一差距，Bunt & Associates正在与维多利亚大学空间模式分析与研究（SPAR）实验室的Trisalyn纳尔逊博士建立新的合作伙伴关系。纳尔逊博士和SPAR实验室开发了一个网站，通过自愿提供的地理数据来捕捉自行车事件。BikeMaps.org温哥华地铁的市民绘制地图已经在BikeMaps.org上进行，但可以使用一些额外的推广来增加参与。拟议的研究项目将使用在BikeMaps.org上收集的公民数据来回答有关自行车基础设施设计的具体问题。这将包括使用空间分析工具，以确定温哥华地铁的自行车风险热点。此外，经常被忽视的自行车之间的碰撞，自行车和行人，自行车和基础设施将被检查。
