Information System for Cycling Navigation Database - Aveiro, Portugal

This data was collected within the scope of a master's thesis in mechanical engineering from University of Aveiro, Portugal. The goal was to develop a information system for cycling navigation for an urban area of the portuguese city of Aveiro. Therefore, data collection was achieved through an instrumented alluminium bicycle equipped with a 1) GNSS Data Logger, 2) wireless heart rate recorder device and 3) video camera. 120 km were covered to collect 8h of video and about 100000 second by second data points, which were analyzed and organized through an 449 link-map built in ArcGIS. Seven different bikeability indicators were built: travel time, energy expenditure, effort distribution, infrastructure performance, safety, comfort and emissions hotspots of two pollutants (CO2 and NOx). This dataset is divided into three sections: Final Attributes - all the collected and treated data of each link, both used in the indicators and in another set for system' network analysis; Attributes Statistics - reveals some statistics of the weighted final atrributes achieved, such as mean, standard error, standard deviation, range, confidence level, among others; Link Type Statistics - reveals the distribution of the different link-types along the map and the respective average speeds recorded.
