When deciding on index parameters, some parameters though rated important by a few people were neglected in the index ranking, some were included in the preference survey questionnaire and some renamed. The table below gives the list of parameters considered. For example, instead of considering the weather parameter, shaded lanes were considered in the evaluation. It should not happen that if the survey was carried out when it was raining, the corridor is given poor rankings when compared to another corridor evaluated when not raining. Similarly, gradient was neglected. Gradient is very important for biking but it is important to note that corridors should not be rated based on topography as a good biking infrastructure in a hilly terrain can get lower scores than a medium biking infrastructure in a plain terrain. Since the evaluation was more from the corridor aspect, the following parameters were included in the preference survey and not in the actual index – land use, connectivity with public transport, presence of showers at workplaces, presence of service shops, etc. Rating 5 Rating 4 Rating 1+ 2+ 3 Noise pollution Land use Street furniture Shaded lanes Cycle share systems Gradient of road Median width Distance between destinations Quality of riding surface Traffic calming measures Lighting - Availability of sufficient street lights Air pollution exposure Connectivity of street network Availability of cycle parking Behavior of motorists towards cyclists Availability of Cycle Tracks Conflict with other vehicles Weather Service shops Presence of showers at workplaces Connection with other modes especially public transport Priority at Junctions 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Figure 15: Ratings for Important Attributes and Conditions for Cyclability 18
7. Based on suggestions from female bikers, the additional parameter of security was included along with lighting parameter. Lighting parameter is considered important by many for people biking during early morning and during night time but it does not essentially cover the aspect of perception of security.
