IBPindex

IBP index is a punctuation that values the difficulty grade of a mountain bicycle route or a road bicycle route.

It is obtained by analyzing length, latitude and height data in multiple points of the tour.

This points are obtained from the recorded track in the GPS, which collect them automatically with an aproximated cadence of 50 points per kilometer, depending on terrain variations and direction changes.

With that points, there are calculated the covered distances in the different rise and descent stretches  (1%, 5%, 10% etc...). The representatives % above the total, the total raised and descended meters, the raise and descent average ratio, the total Km and the rising stretches distribution are calculated.

New Web, new anayisis, new characterístics.....

It has been two years since IBP index was available to the cyclist comunity, in this time we have been aware of the commentaries, critiques and suggestions of the users.

We have analyzed-compared-visualized lots of tracks (more than 150.000) and finally we have applied the new knowledge incorporating new tools in the GPS track analysis
 

The result is here, in this new web that has been designed to progress even more in the analysis and valuation of the bicycle routes difficulty.

Is it necessary to analyze all of my tracks again?

No, but you can analyze those tracks which you have any dude about their reliability, for example, tracks with a lot of points.
