- MOTORIZED: the mode being applied to motorized vehicles when no corrections are being applied on the travelling speed, even if a DEM is used in the analysis.
- WALKING: the mode applied when the population walks. In this case, a slope-based correction is applied to the indicated speed. This correction is based on Tobler’s formula (Tobler, 1993), which basically decreases or increase the effective walking speed depending on the steepness of the slope and this differently for up or down movements.
- BICYCLING: a the mode applied when the population uses bikes. A slope-based correction is applied to the indicated speed. See below for details.

Speed correction for the bicycling model

For the Newton technique, we used a maximum tolerance of 0.05 and maximum 10 iterations. If there is no convergence, the result is set to 0.0 kmhkm/h. A graphical example of the corrected speeds in function of the slope for that particular speed is shown in
