“Although a number of existing travel rate functions exist, they fail to sufficiently account for the vast diversity of landscape conditions that impede foot travel3–11.”
From A singular, broadly-applicable model for estimating on- and off-path walking travel rates using airborne lidar data (2024) · cites this paper as [10]
In the citing paper
“and for “on-path” travel, where surface roughness is assumed to be uniform and vegetation density is negligible3,5,10.”
From A singular, broadly-applicable model for estimating on- and off-path walking travel rates using airborne lidar data (2024) · cites this paper as [10]
In the citing paper
“Hikers and hillwalkers typically use the gradient in the direction of travel (walking slope) as the main variable in established methods for predicting walking time (via the walking speed) along a route.”
From Improved prediction of hiking speeds using a data driven approach (2023) · cites this paper as [10]
In the citing paper
“These slopecontrolled models estimate travel rates solely as a function of slope, which is most appropriate for on-path travel (i.e. on a road or trail) where vegetation density and surface roughness are low.”
From Machine learning estimation of off-trail pedestrian travel rates using LiDAR-derived slope, vegetation, and surface roughness (2026) · cites this paper as Rees 2004

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.
