Peter G Furth is a researcher and professor at Northeastern University known for his work in transit planning , traffic signals , and bicycle infrastructure .[2] Furth is also considered an expert on Dutch cycling policy and history.[3] [4] He is an advocate for European style cycling infrastructure to be brought to the United States.[5] Furth developed the concept of "Bicycle Priority Lane markings" in 2009 which have since been implemented in several US cities.[6] He also developed the "Level of Traffic Stress" method for categorizing cycling routes,[7] which has been adopted as an organizing concept for some local cycling maps[8] [9] as well as research.
He is opposed to the concept of "vehicular cycling " developed by John Forester and instead supports the implementation of low-stress cycling networks.[10] [11] Furth is also an advocate for increased pedestrian zones in downtown areas.[12]
Furth is the son of Hans G. Furth , a renowned psychology professor.[13]
Education [ edit ]
Furth has a BS, MS and PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology .[14]
Notable work [ edit ]
Furth has authored over 70 publications in the transportation research field.[14] He was a contributing author to the NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide.[14] Furth has received the best paper award from the Transportation Research Board twice, once in 1988 and once in 2004.[15]
