1.
Measures of System Performance: (2.5 pts) based on the list of potential advantages of bikeways provided by Ms. Fetzer (see “Potential Advantages”
lecture slide
), define five metrics by which the performance of a proposed bike structure should be compared to an
existing no-bike system. For each metric, explain (a) whether that metric would be expected to increase or decrease with the addition of a bikeway, and (b) why. (Recall from EAS 199 that a “metric” is a quantitative measure, including units. “Amount of sunlight”, for example, is not a metric, but “hours of direct sunlight/day” is a metric. Air pollution in a given space might be measured in parts-pollutant per million-parts-air (ppm), at some specific instant in time.) Use format below, but do not use
this example:
1.
Average Number of street musicians per mile of roadway, per day.
This would be expected to increase, because bicyclists are more likely to toss money into the hat than automobile passengers.
3. Modeling/Predicting System Performance: (2.5 pts) Assume that, as an experiment, a bikeway structure will be built for a limited area of the city. It will be necessary to determine if this new system performs “better” than the existing. For any three
of the metrics defined in #2, describe in engineering-specific terms: (a) the method(s) by which data could be obtained for the current system (baseline data), (b) method(s) by which data could be obtained for the new bike system after it has been built, and c) the range of times/conditions under which data should be collected in order to capture a representative sample, with explanation of that rationale .
