Geographical Information System & Remote Sensing in Bicycle Planning

Year: 1999

Type: article

Abstract: This paper presents a new methodology in order to give support to analyse the cyclist routes using a Geographical Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS). This methodology focus some specific cyclist travels characteristics that usually can not be considered by the measure difficulties. The topological elements such as land slope are identified from digital terrain model defined using GIS. These variables are considered in the definition of the cyclist route. In this context, GIS plays a fundamental role, fulfilling the gap of the transportation models.
