The number of bicycle passing events was proposed as a good indicator to evaluate the level of service of bicycle roadways. However, modeling methods that can be used for quantitatively calculating the number of passing events were quite few. The primary objective of this study is to develop a Cellular Automaton (CA) model firstly used for modeling the bicycle passing events and validate the calculation accuracy of the proposed model. Bicycle operating and overtaking rules were developed in the CA model. Field data of passing events were collected on four physically separated bicycle roadways in Nanjing city. The collected data were compared with the prediction results of CA model. It is found that the CA model provides a reasonable accuracy in predicting the number of bicycle passing events. Time-space diagrams analysis shows that bicycle flow is congested and the overall mean speed decreases under high density traffic condition.
