BikeRouter was created as part of SF-CHAMP (San Francisco's Activity-Based Travel Demand Model) in order to represent the impact of bicycle facilities.

BikeRouter's main components: (1) tools to compile, clean, and screen bicycle route data collected with the CycleTracks smart phone application. (2) tools to generate a set of possible path choices and create a viable estimation dataset suitable to estimate a path size logit route choice model. (3) tools to generate log-sums of the path choice set in order to inform a series of mode-choice models (4) bike assignment algorithms to simulate a bicyle assignment given demand between origins and destinations.

The original author is Jeff Hood (an SFCTA intern at the time) and has had significant revision by Lisa Zorn (an SFCTA transportation planner).
