A Mixed Methods Approach for Capturing Interactions of Cyclists with Mobility Space

Abstract The physiological and cognitive load for cycling is high. A constant interaction with other road users and the environment, consisting of static and dynamic objects, is required while riding. In order to make cycling a pleasant and safe experience, it is of utmost importance to consider these interactions in providing adequate infrastructure and managing traffic accordingly. However, to do so successfully, the multiple layers of interaction, interdependencies, and systemic relations have to be considered. This can hardly be done within a single domain. Thus, we propose an interdisciplinary mixed methods approach that facilitates domain-specific insights as well as an integrated, systemic understanding of cyclists’ interaction with mobility space.
