| dc.description.abstract | This paper presents the development of a new mobile application, Rothaím, as Ireland’s first adaptive route planner for cyclists. The mobile application is developed on an Android platform and is dependent on Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. The application is capable of tracking the behaviour, the motivation and the perceptions of cyclists in the Irish road network. Although Dublin is one of the upcoming cities in friendliness towards cycling, there has been very little data collected in this regard and the development of Rothaím is expected to remedy this deficiency to a significant extent. The impact of the application on urban mobility is immediate and it also creates a data repository to analyse the behaviour of cyclists in a mixed mode network. Consequently, Rothaím is expected to play a positive role in choosing cycling as a green and sustainable option, thereby offering a push towards a modal split to the advantage of urban cycling. Cycling is unique in terms of mode choice and the desired route may significantly vary from the least path. This application has the potential to quantify these varied options of route choice. The design of the application is discussed in detail. The development of the application, related practical issues and implementation are presented. The capability of the collected information to personalize data is demonstrated. | en |
