Road quality collection from cycling around. This only gathers and uploads data, for map generation / analysis go to https://github.com/RobertLucey/via

Use a mount for the phone if you can for bikes.

Features

  • Cuts off the first and last x minutes (configurable) from your ride so nobody knows where you're coming and going to by sharing your ride info
    • Additionally it cuts first and last x metres. Whichever removes the most from either end takes effect
  • Send journeys in partials which are segmented journeys where only data from a 200m span are grouped and no relative time is included
    • Put a small gap between so these are more difficult to stitch together
    • TODO: stagger ability to download so can't stitch together by data availability time
  • If time is included in uploaded data, it is only relative time from the start of the turning on of the service
    • If not sending relative time the journey is randomly reversed (or each partial is randomly reversed) so direction can not be determined
