Our article titled “Enhancing Route Planning for Recreational Cyclists: A Comparative Analysis of Elevation Data Accuracy and Field Validation” has been published in the Transportation Research Record journal.

This study, conducted in collaboration with Dr. Abdulkadir Ozden,

• Addresses the accuracy of elevation data in planning recreational cycling routes,

• Provides a comparative analysis of different digital elevation models (DEM) with field measurements,

• Examines their direct impact on route optimization and user experience with a scientific and application-oriented approach.

Within this framework, it provides applicable and robust outputs for both researchers and decision-makers in the fields of sustainable transportation, active mobility, bicycle infrastructure planning, and GIS-based route analysis.
