The goal of this project was to study the prevalence and behaviors of e-Bike users in Acadia National Park to determine effective policies for e-Bike use within the park. The project team monitored biking activity through webcam images in several locations within Acadia, analyzed the resulting data, and identified trends in behavior and demographics among e-Bikers and bikers. From our webcam analysis, we developed a list of recommendations for future studies to monitor biking activity within Acadia National Park.
