Urban Road Optimization Based on Safety and Cyclists' Effort Required by Bike Tracks

摘要

Sustainable mobility is becoming the main goal of several researches due to the significant problems caused by present day transportation means. For instance, vehicles powered by fossil or sugar cane derived fuels bring about negative impacts to the environment as well as to society. A solution proposed by Brazilian Government is to encourage the use of bicycles on tracks, which can be either interspersed or not with public transportation. On this assumption, the project described in this paper aims at developing a mobile application for capturing data about urban roads in order to define a route exerting less physical stress on the rider and that is safe.
