Development and Experimentation of Smartphone Application for Supporting Proper Cycling Speed

In this paper, we develop a smartphone application for supporting a proper cycling speed. In this application, there are two types of screens; normal screen and alert screen. On the normal screen, the current cycling speed and the proper cycling speed. The current speed is compared with the proper speed continuously. If the current speed exceeds the proper speed, the normal screen changes to the alert screen automatically. Moreover, this application sounds a warning tone for several seconds. We investigate experimentally how this application works. In the experimentation, we carry around with the smartphone where our application has been installed and collects several kinds of data. From the experimental results, we show the validity of this developed application.
