Abstract

An increase in walking or hiking activities in natural areas requires improvements in information and advice about trails, including their difficulty, available services and estimated travel time. Comparative studies show remarkable differences between measured and calculated travel times obtained by available predictive procedures (Naismith’s rule, Tobler’s hiking function or MIDE). A new procedure has been designed by combining pre-existing methods (Tobler’s and MIDE), and travel times have been calculated for 21 trails located in different protected natural areas of Spain. Times obtained are compared with travel times measured by individual users and uploaded into specialized walking-hiking websites (Wikiloc). Results show that the new procedure (Modified Tobler) reduces differences between calculated and measured travel times, which makes it suitable not only for trail managers to estimate travel times but also as a key part of pedestrian transport analysis in trail networks.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • For each of the cost functions (Tobler, modified Tobler, Naismith/Langmuir, Minetti), edge values depend only on distance and slope and are anisotropic.

    “For each of these functions the edge values between points depend only on the distance and slope and are anisotropic, in other words they differ according to the slope in the direction of travel rather than simply depending on absolute slope.”

  • Given the evidence that the Modified Tobler function is more accurate, the lower range (2.0 to 2.5 knots) is preferred.

    “However, given the evidence that the Modified Tobler function is more accurate (Márquez-Pérez, Vallejo-Villalta & Álvarez-Francoso 2017; Seifried & Gardner 2019) the lower range is preferred.”

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.
