Hi Dominic,

When you anyalyse the speed guesses in the graphhopper encoders you should not look at any absolute values. These cannot be estimated without knowing the physical strength and bike equipment of the individual rider. It would be more interesting to look at the relation of these values, e.g taking the 18 km/h value for highway=residential as 100%. It would be nice if you could provide some data and/or literature in your thesis for this specific isolated issue, maybe also describing what influence it has if cyclists and pedestrians need to share a way and the width of the way ...

I think you need to forget the GPS tracks from osm for your purpose. These are not even classified which kind of vehicle was used for creating them. You might look at gpsies [1] using the "Extended search". Under "More attributes" you need so select "GPS" recorded. Maybe you find some useful data for your purpse there.

When you analyse the impacts of the infrastructure on cycle speed and the features of routers, then one important missing graphhoper feature is issue #75 (interpretation of traffic lights). Here it would be nice to find information about average wait times for cyclists. Maybe you can reference to literature for the wait times for cyclists and cars, the average speeds and the influnce of the distances between the lights.

regards,

Thank you for your information, Peter.

If I get some nice results, I will inform you!

I dont know anything about useful gps-tracks available online, so I am collecting data myself. The gps-tracks on planet GPX do not have timestamps and no information about travelling mode, do they?

Kind regards,
Dominic

    Hi Dominik,

    yes, just guesses from developers on the road and no literature
    used. Would love to see some more solid ground for this e.g. using
    OSM planet GPX

    Keep in mind that these speeds are not max speeds but average
    speeds. The maxspeed tag is handled differently in applyMaxSpeed.

    Kind Regards,
    Peter

    Hi all,

    I am writing my master thesis about the influence of the
    infrastructure on bicycle speed. Beside doing on-road experiments
    I would like to give an overview, how routing algorithm calculate
    the speed of bicyclist.

    I have seen, that graphhopper uses a list of maxspeed parameter
    in BikeCommonFlagEncoder.java
    
<https://github.com/graphhopper/graphhopper/blob/master/core/src/main/java/com/graphhopper/routing/util/BikeCommonFlagEncoder.java>,
    like

        setSurfaceSpeed("gravel", 12);
        setHighwaySpeed("service", 14);

    How did you defined these values? Are they just guesses? How did
    you guessed them? Or could you find them somewhere in literature?

    Thank you for your information!
    Regards, Dominic
