On the brachistochrone problem for cycling ascents
Len Bos, Michael A. Slawinski, Raphaël A. Slawinski +1
VAM ({\it velocità ascensionale media}) is a measurement that quantifies a cyclist's climbing ability. We show that to minimize the time to attain a given height gain\, -- \,which…
On minimizing cyclists' ascent times: Part II
Len Bos, Michael A. Slawinski, Raphaël A. Slawinski +1
We formulate an optimization of a bicycle ascent time under the constraints of the average, maximum, and minimum powers. In contrast to the first part of this study, we do not rest…
On minimizing cyclists' ascent times
Len Bos, Michael A. Slawinski, Raphaël A. Slawinski +1
We prove that, given an average power, the ascent time is minimized if a cyclist maintains a constant ground speed regardless of the slope. Herein, minimizing the time is equivalen…
