  2. During the past 20 years, there has been a dramatic increase in obesity with more than one-third of the adults obese. Source: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey While overall numbers of bicycle and pedestrian fatalities are declining, the percentage of total fatalities is rising with bicycles accounting for 1.0% of total trips and 1.9% of total fatalities. Source: NHTSA 2009 Data, Traffic Safety Facts Obesity Fatalities EPA has concluded that the changes in climate is linked to the accumulation of GHGs. Source: EPA Our Nation's Air, Status and Trends Through 2010 GHGs GHGs are threatening our environment, safety is still a concern, and public health is worsting every year

  3. We need to provide a balanced transportation system the encourages non-automotive transportation modes

  4. Without knowing how to approach it or extensive research, implementing bicycle detection technology can be confusing

  5. We would like to pick the right bicycle technology

  6. Learn about San Jose's approach to picking the right bicycle technology

  7. Moving bicyclists through our roadway requires different mobility strategies • have fun and see the sites bike box and trail access Commuter advanced detection fast & unobstructed reliable & on-time Enthusiast green wave Recreational

  8. Selecting detection technologies for testing need to be aligned with mobility requirements and consider O&M constraints

  9. The definition of success and measuring performance is key to declaring a victory

  10. Need to define the appropriate validation testing Different mobility strategies are required Selecting detection technologies need to be aligned with mobility requirements
