N2  - Data were collected on street characteristics and automobile, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic volumes in a residential area of Nagoya, Japan. The traffic volumes over time, the traffic mix, and types of automobile traffic (generated (beginning or ending on the street under study), collective/distributive, and through) were analyzed. A generalized method was developed to estimate the volume of each transport mode on residential streets based on the distribution of facilities (residential, commercial, entertainment, medical, transportation, factory) in the area, the street pattern, and the street conditions. For pedestrian and automobile traffic volumes, Hayashi's quantification theory type I model was used to derive a through traffic volume index from the characteristics of each street. By multiplying this index by the traffic flow generated by facilities along the street, a cross-sectional traffic volume was obtained. The generated traffic volume was determined by enumerating each facility type and multiplying it by a generation ratio. Using the pedestrian traffic volume in a regression equation, bicycle traffic volume can be calculated more accurately.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
