A Study on the Efficient Grasping Method of Bicycle Route Using Bicycle GPS Data

Abstract

The “Guideline for Creating a Safe and Pleasant Environment for Bicycle Use” has been issued in November 2012 and the “Bicycle Use Promotion Plan” has also been approved by the cabinet meeting in June 2018. These approaches suggest that grasping the actual use of bicycles is important in promoting the formulation of the bicycle network plan. Among the actual use of bicycles, there is a survey using smartphones as a method for efficiently grasping bicycle route, however the issue is that smartphone observation is not suitable for constant observation. Therefore, in this study, in order to grasp bicycle route by utilizing information and communication technology such as GPS location data which community cycle and share cycle that can be constant observation at all times, we examined the acquisition interval at which the route of the bicycle can be grasped. As a result, we confirm that if GPS location data is acquired at an acquisition interval of about 30 seconds, bicycle route can be grasped.
