Electric bikes (e-bikes), including lightweight e-bikes with pedals ande-bikes in scooter form, are gaining popularity around the world because oftheir convenience and affordability. At the same time, e-bike-related accidentsare also on the rise and many policymakers and practitioners are debating thefeasibility of building e-bike lanes in their communities. By collectinge-bikes and bikes data in Shanghai City, the study first recalibrates thecapacity of the conventional bike lane based on the traffic movementcharacteristics of the mixed bikes flow. Then, the study evaluates the trafficsafety performance of the mixed bike flow in the conventional bike lane by theobserved passing events. Finally, this study proposes a comprehensive model forevaluating the feasibility of building an e-bike lane by integrating theAnalytic Hierarchy Process and fuzzy mathematics by considering the threeobjectives: capacity, safety, and budget constraint. The proposed model, one ofthe first of its kind, can be used to (i) evaluate the existing road capacityand safety performance improvement of a mixed bike flow with e-bikes andhuman-powered bikes by analyzing the mixed bike flow arrival rate and passingmaneuvers, and (ii) quantify the changes to the road capacity and safetyperformance if a new e-bike lane is constructed. Numerical experiments areperformed to calibrate the proposed model and evaluate its performance usingnon-motorized vehicles' trajectories in Shanghai, China. The numericalexperiment results suggest that the proposed model can be used by policymakersand practitioners to evaluate the feasibility of building e-bike lanes.
