The main mode of transport in NUS is the NUS Internal Bus Service, which some 69% of the campus community rely on to commute in campus. High passenger load/overcrowding during peak hours is problematic and difficult to resolve. The culmulative carbon emission from the estimated 31,200 trips per school semester is also significant. One approach to alleviate the situation is to encourage commuters to cycle as a means of getting around campus. However previous studies also show that implementing such schemes can be challenging. This project aims to assist University Campus Infrastructure in collating crucial information, namely time and elevation changes, on various possible cycling routes, which could be used as alternatives to buses or walking.
