Hi Brian - love that you are still into all things cycling. I might have missed it in the article, but what device(s) did you use to gather the telemetry from the riders?
Also, is the end result of the investigation potentially to result in any sort of safety recommendation - such as when to ride, or where not to ride based on car encounters?
And then on the non-academic side, when is your next long multi-day ride going to be? :-)
Hi Darol! The data is coming from the Garmin Varia radars and a Garmin ConnectIQ app I wrote to save all the data into the ride. I’d like to eventually have enough data to build a traffic map/routing based on time-of-day vehicle traffic. And I am very excited about my next long adventure coming up in June. I’ve booked a one-way flight to Edmonton, Canada and then I will be biking 4500 miles all the way back to my house in Alabama collecting lots of radar data along the way and hopefully seeing a bear or two (from a distance)!
Thanks man! I'm going to post a tracking link here on this substack since I'll be collecting a lot of data for this project as well as on my tracking website https://pickuta.com ... it will be the one listed at the top once I finalize all the route details.

Wow - I will have to find a way/app to track your progress!! :-)
