Abstract

This paper investigates how the spatial resolution of slope data affects the modelling of recreational trails in mountainous areas. It measures the impact of spatial resolution on a) the estimation of cost functions that link walking speeds and slope, and b) the modelling of moving times and mapping of routes using these functions. Cost functions that build on a mountain hike GPS record and slope data derived from a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) at varying resolutions are estimated and their ability to predict accurate moving times is evaluated. The cost functions are supplemented with recently published cost functions to map the quickest routes between the hike start and end points with least-cost-path analyses. The results indicate that spatial resolution has a critical influence in the modelling: the similarity between routes modelled at a same spatial resolution with distinct cost functions considerably surpasses that of routes simulated at varying resolutions with a same cost function. Furthermore, employing finer resolutions enhances the similarity between routes mapped with different cost functions, while also improving the accuracy of predicted moving times. These findings provide evidence that DEM resolution should receive prime attention in the modelling of trails with slope-dependent cost functions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
