ConclusionOne of the most important factor that
affect bicycling power expenditure can be addressed by planners while designing infrastructure
The results of the model can minimize the cost of data collection and enrich behavior models
The effective planning based on travel time and energy expenditure can provide better experience to the cyclists
Next StepsPropose classes of cyclist based
on their power levelApply slope-speed-power
relationship to the road network to determine travel time
Measure energy expenditure of the riders
Test the model on real city network
