چکیده مقاله:

Today, excessive increase in number of cars and urban trips hascaused problems such as traffic congestion and air pollutionleading to lower quality of life in metropolises. In suchcircumstances, using traditional systems such as cycling can be ofhigh value. Previous international studies about cycling haveshown that maximum acceptable time for cycling has receivedlittle attention. Considering this research gap, this paper aims toinvestigate impacts of different factors such as individualcharacteristic, land-use and built environment, on maximumacceptable time for cycling. Based on a field survey of 473 Tehrancitizens conducted in one of the twenty-two Tehran municipalitydistricts, mixed logit models were calibrated, validated andinterpreted. Results indicate that people traveling through mixedland-use tend to use bicycle for thirty minute-trips more than theother land-use types. Also access to bicycle lane causes moretendency for thirty minute-trips by bicycle. Results also indicatethat access to secure parking in destination and increasing numberof intersection on the origin-destination routes increase travelers’tendency for cycling about fifty-minute.
