Evolving Pacing Strategies for Team Pursuit Track Cycling

5 Apr 2011  ·  Markus Wagner, Jareth Day, Diora Jordan, Trent Kroeger, Frank Neumann ·

Team pursuit track cycling is a bicycle racing sport held on velodromes and is part of the Summer Olympics. It involves the use of strategies to minimize the overall time that a team of cyclists needs to complete a race. We present an optimisation framework for team pursuit track cycling and show how to evolve strategies using metaheuristics for this interesting real-world problem. Our experimental results show that these heuristics lead to significantly better strategies than state-of-art strategies that are currently used by teams of cyclists.
