Abstract
Design and partial implementation of a mobile application that helps bicycle riders flock with other riders while commuting, thus benefiting from the emergent critical mass. Simulations are run to test the model, analysis of their results suggest flock formation is likely given enough users.
Highlights
Riding a bike among other cyclists is safer and more fun (Jacobsen, 2003; Secretaría de Salud, 2016)
Social Cycling is a mobile app that helps with the coordination of bike riders so that groups are assembled in real time
Twenty simulations were run for each density mentioned in section 4.2.1 on page 4
Summary
Riding a bike among other cyclists is safer and more fun (Jacobsen, 2003; Secretaría de Salud, 2016). Riding together may be an effective security measure: a group of riders is protected from threats to which a lone rider is vulnerable.
