RESEARCH COMPONENT

To have enough information regarding the format of the maps we develop a survey that will help us divided the different categories of bike riders and the different types of activities for riding a bike. This are road biking, mountain biking, and recreational biking. This is so we can give everyone a map that will help them get around. Click here to see an example of the survey.

We chose 8 different maps from 56 that we had originally. These maps had different formats such as; Topographic, GIS graphics, artistic, 3D artistic, aerial photo, 3D aerial Photo, elevation model and 3D elevation model. Originally we were thinking that the more difficult the level of rider the more complex the map will have to be. This was format was almost follow but for a couple of things as you can see in the following chart.

A second investigation is in progress as of today and will continue for the next several months. In this investigation we are trying to get as much information as possible of the biking habits of the people in the region.
|
|
For this investigation we recur to the different biking shops in the area. We created about 1500 packages containing different information, some of there are two types of packages. Both packages have the same survey, in this survey we asked the present types of activities and how often they will have done it in the past. Also some questions regarding the places they mostly ride on, and some questions regarding the city conditions for biking. We also included a cycling activity log to see were they ride, how long they ride, how often they ride and the type of weather in which they ride. There are two surveys; the first survey is giving right away and a second given to them after two months. This second survey with almost the same information as the past one, to see how much difference were or were not the maps included on these packages.
