This paper is derived from project VERT (evaluation of the bicycle as a feeder mode to rail outside urban areas). It focuses on economic analysis implemented in several modeled scenarios, making it possible to compare bike and ride solutions with park and ride solutions, and to draw a cost-benefit analysis. It is applied in a case study in Amboise, comparing scenarios for developing the bicycle as a feeder mode to train, built from observations of present situation, software development to map catchment areas of bicycles and pedelecs, and computing the cost-benefit balance of bike and ride.
