CSE Project "Cyclopath" Profiled in Local Newspapers
The Minneapolis Star Tribune and the St. Paul Pioneer Press profiled a department project, Cyclopath, in separate stories July 19. The project is led by Ph.D. student Reid Priedhorsky and supervised by Professor Loren Terveen.
Cyclopath is a geowiki designed for bicyclists. Cyclists can collaboratively add, remove, modify roads and other bike facilities block-by-block, in addition to editing points of interest and annotations on map items. Cyclopath also provides personalized routing advice based on up-to-the minute user editing. The site is intended as a research tool to study online communities.
A forthcoming paper on the project, "Computational Geowikis: What, Why, and How" was nominated for Best Paper at the 2008 ACM Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work, to be held November 8-12.
Other students working on the project are Michael Ludwig, Andrew Sheppard, and Fernando Torre. For more information, visit cyclopath.org, the Star Tribune article titled ‘Biking website pools cyclists' expertise,’ and the Pioneer Press article titled ‘MapQuest for the cycling set.’
