Speed correction for the bicycling model
This correction uses a physical biking model based on air resistance, gravity and frictional force. If the user selects the travelling mode "bicycling" within an anisotropic analysis, AccessMod estimates the power needed to achieve the velocity (and therefore, speed) entered by the user in the travelling scenario. Using this power, along with the slope derived from the DEM, AccessMod can predict the final speed at which the cyclist will cross a given cell.
The model implemented in AccessMod assumes that the increased speed due to negative slope does not exceed twice the speed obtained on a flat surface. A realistic mean value for the speed on flat surface can be around 12 km/h, but note that this can vary greatly with physical condition of the biker, the type of bike, and the road conditions.
The bicycle formula is based on a complex physical model in which several parameters were fixed in AccessMod (which cannot be changed by the user), as follows:
