Cycling Comfort: a Web-Based Application of Vibration Measurement

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Vibrations of bicycles negatively influence riding comfort. Uneven surface pavement is the principal source of vibrations. We have developed a simple and effective method for objective bicycle vibration measurement using GPS and accelerometer devices mounted on a bicycle. The advantage of this approach is its simplicity and transferability because various bicycle types can be used to obtain data on vibration. A dynamic comfort index (DCI) was derived to objectively describe the range of vibration. We have compared the DCI with the subjective opinions of several test riders. The results indicate a strong correlation between the DCI and the median of subjective opinions which means that DCI can also be used as a general description of the average feeling of cyclists when riding over the given surface pavement. The resulting DCI can be linked via GPS data to respective geographic positions. This task has still to be carried out in a GIS. We present a free web-map service which processes data uploaded by users. The results are in a form of line shapefiles containing geo-localized DCI.
