Abstract [en]

Cities today typically have goals for sustainability and accessibility, with improving cycling accessibility being one of the most emphasized objectives. Cities can achieve their goals by having a well-built infrastructure for cycling. This study focuses on the cycling infrastructure in Stockholm city and conducts an analysis based on the city's various accessibility objectives. The purpose of the study is to examine if the city has a high accessibility through bike lanes, also, how far cyclists can travel on the existing cycling infrastructure and which areas in the city have the best accessibility via bike paths. To perform the analysis, bike path data is imported into the ArcMap program. Various functions of the program are used to analyze both the efficiency of cyclists in reaching their destinations and whether it is possible for cyclists to reach their desired destinations. The results show that Stockholm city has a well-functioning cycling infrastructure, allowing cyclists to travel in different directions and to various locations, even over longer distances. The analysis also reveals that areas with primary schools have a higher coverage of bike lanes, indicating that areas including services generally have better accessibility through bike lanes.
