2001 MCM Problems
Problem A: Choosing a Bicycle Wheel
Cyclists have different types of wheels they can use on their bicycles. The two basic types of
wheels are those constructed using wire spokes and those constructed of a solid disk (see
Figure 1) The spoked wheels are lighter, but the solid wheels are more aerodynamic. A solid
wheel is never used on the front for a road race but can be used on the rear of the bike.
Professional cyclists look at a racecourse and make an educated guess as to what kind of
wheels should be used. The decision is based on the number and steepness of the hills, the
weather, wind speed, the competition, and other considerations. The director sportif of your
favorite team would like to have a better system in place and has asked your team for
information to help determine what kind of wheel should be used for a given course.
Figure 1: A solid wheel is shown on the left and a spoked wheel is shown on the right.
The director sportif needs specific information to help make a decision and has asked your
team to accomplish the tasks listed below. For each of the tasks assume that the same spoked
wheel will always be used on the front but there is a choice of wheels for the rear.
•
Task 1. Provide a table giving the wind speed at which the power required for a solid
rear wheel is less than for a spoked rear wheel. The table should include the wind
speeds for different road grades starting from zero percent to ten percent in one
percent increments. (Road grade is defined to be the ratio of the total rise of a hill
divided by the length of the road. If the hill is viewed as a triangle, the grade is the
sine of the angle at the bottom of the hill.) A rider starts at the bottom of the hill at a
speed of 45 kph, and the deceleration of the rider is proportional to the road grade. A
rider will lose about 8 kph for a five percent grade over 100 meters.
•
Task 2. Provide an example of how the table could be used for a specific time trial
course.
•
Task 3. Determine if the table is an adequate means for deciding on the wheel
configuration and offer other suggestions as to how to make this decision.

Problem B: Escaping a Hurricane's Wrath (An Ill Wind...)
Evacuating the coast of South Carolina ahead of the predicted landfall of Hurricane Floyd in
1999 led to a monumental traffic jam. Traffic slowed to a standstill on Interstate I-26, which
is the principal route going inland from Charleston to the relatively safe haven of Columbia in
the center of the state. What is normally an easy two-hour drive took up to 18 hours to
complete. Many cars simply ran out of gas along the way. Fortunately, Floyd turned north and
spared the state this time, but the public outcry is forcing state officials to find ways to avoid a
repeat of this traffic nightmare.
The principal proposal put forth to deal with this problem is the reversal of traffic on I-26, so
that both sides, including the coastal-bound lanes, have traffic headed inland from Charleston
to Columbia. Plans to carry this out have been prepared (and posted on the Web) by the South
Carolina Emergency Preparedness Division. Traffic reversal on principal roads leading inland
from Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head is also planned.
A simplified map of South Carolina is shown. Charleston has approximately 500,000 people,
Myrtle Beach has about 200,000 people, and another 250,000 people are spread out along the
rest of the coastal strip. (More accurate data, if sought, are widely available.)
The interstates have two lanes of traffic in each direction except in the metropolitan areas
where they have three. Columbia, another metro area of around 500,000 people, does not
have sufficient hotel space to accommodate the evacuees (including some coming from
farther north by other routes), so some traffic continues outbound on I-26 towards
Spartanburg; on I-77 north to Charlotte; and on I-20 east to Atlanta. In 1999, traffic leaving
Columbia going northwest was moving only very slowly. Construct a model for the problem
to investigate what strategies may reduce the congestion observed in 1999. Here are the
questions that need to be addressed:
1. Under what conditions does the plan for turning the two coastal-bound lanes of I-26
into two lanes of Columbia-bound traffic, essentially turning the entire I-26 into
one-way traffic, significantly improve evacuation traffic flow?
2. In 1999, the simultaneous evacuation of the state's entire coastal region was ordered.
Would the evacuation traffic flow improve under an alternative strategy that staggers
the evacuation, perhaps county-by-county over some time period consistent with the
pattern of how hurricanes affect the coast?
3. Several smaller highways besides I-26 extend inland from the coast. Under what
conditions would it improve evacuation flow to turn around traffic on these?
4. What effect would it have on evacuation flow to establish more temporary shelters in
Columbia, to reduce the traffic leaving Columbia?
5. In 1999, many families leaving the coast brought along their boats, campers, and
motor homes. Many drove all of their cars. Under what conditions should there be
restrictions on vehicle types or numbers of vehicles brought in order to guarantee
timely evacuation?
2
6. It has been suggested that in 1999 some of the coastal residents of Georgia and
Florida, who were fleeing the earlier predicted landfalls of Hurricane Floyd to the
south, came up I-95 and compounded the traffic problems. How big an impact can
they have on the evacuation traffic flow? Clearly identify what measures of
performance are used to compare strategies. Required: Prepare a short newspaper
article, not to exceed two pages, explaining the results and conclusions of your study
to the public.

Introduction
We present a model that compares the performance of various wheels over
auser-determined course. We approach the modeling problem by beginning
with Newton’s Second Law of Motion: The sum of the forces acting on an object
equals the mass of that object multiplied by its acceleration.
We identify the four principal forces that contribute to a cyclist’s motion:
applied force, drag force, gravity, and rolling resistance. We further classify
drag force into three components: the cyclist and bicycle frame, the front wheel,
and the rear wheel.
Drag force is dependent on a cyclist’s velocity, and the force of gravity is
dependent on a cyclist’s position. Thus, our force equation is a function of
cyclist position and cyclist velocity.
We can then arrange Newton’s Second Law to yield a second-order differ-
ential equation. Given position S,velocity dS/dt,acceleration d

To implement our model, we created a computer software program that
allows a user to input numerous pieces of data, including course layout, eleva-
tion proÞle, wind, weather conditions, and cyclist characteristics. The software
iterates the differential equation using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method.
The software reports the preferred wheel choice based on the data.
As a real-world application of our model, we analyze the 2000 Olympic
Cycling time-trial race. Over that course, a disk wheel provided a considerable
advantage over a spoked wheel.
