Specifically, Identification of the location of trips (on or off Comox Street/Barclay Street) was done through visual inspection, as well as with the help of the ‘Select by Location’ tool in ArcMap10.1. I assigned individual trips that would stretch over more than one street block (~ 150m) as a valid trip.
To get an even more detailed look at potential microlevel changes in transportation behaviour among the study participants, I completed a street-segment based analysis for street blocks on Comox Street and Barclay Street. In order to map traffic volumes among our study participants on Comox Street and Barclay Street, I used the ‘Intersect’ tool, part of the analysis toolbox in ArcGIS10.1, to map the trip frequency for each of the three modes – car, bike, walk – by block for the area along 900-2100 block of Comox Street and Barclay Street. This street-segment based analysis was visualized in ArcMap 10.1., and statistical information derived by performing analysis in Microsoft Excel 2010.
