Abstract
As interest in green growth picks up, the importance of bicycles which are an environment friendly means of communication has been magnified. However, bicycle routes which are the base of bicycles are designed without considering topographic elements and thus many users are experiencing inconvenience in using bicycles. The present study presents a routing technique to select optimal routes when selecting routes in commuting to school utilizing bicycles. To this end, a formula for optimum route calculation considering slope and intersections was drawn and a method to select optimum routes by applying modified Dijkstra Algorithms was studied. According to the results, the bicycle routes for commuting to school should be selected by the shortest time rather than the shortest distances to the destination, because it required reach the destination faster. Therefore when selecting the routes, it must be based on the shortest time considering waiting time due to crosswalks or crossroads and speed variations due to slopes.
