Evaluating the TOPODATA digital elevation model as a source of information for cycling planning purposes: a case study for a small-sized Brazilian city
Abstract:The present study aims to evaluate the TOPODATA Digital Elevation Model (DEM) as a source of relevant altimetric information for urban cycling planning. A case study was conducted in the city of Bariri-SP. The Cartographic Accuracy Standard of Digital Cartographic Products (PEC-PCD), assessed by comparing the TOPODATA altitudes with homologous altitudes surveyed by a precise satellite method (GNSS), suggests that the DEM may not be adequate for phases of cycling planning that require greater detailing of the e… Show more
