Watch the movie to check the detailed score for every road.
What is being rated and how?
The rating is totally objective and is being done by a quite advanced algorithm, but to put it simply:
Curvature:
Tells you how big a fraction of the road is curvy/twisty and how sharp those curves are. Two separate algorithms are used for calculating the curvature.
Slopes and elevation:
The maximum and average elevations, road hilliness, number and level of slope changes.
Scenery:
The not obstructed views of valleys and mountains with emphasis on high elevation difference between the view spot and the road. The waviness of the surrounding area is also taken into account.
Ride quality:
Average ride time in relation to the road curvature, and also the percentage of the road that runs outside the city zones. Both surface quality, the possibility of overtaking, and speed limits are reflected here.
The final score:
The final score is calculated in a way that helps with finding not only beautiful but also fun to drive roads (which is especially important for owners of sports cars and motorcycles)
The basic formula looks basically similar to: (curvature+slopes and elevation+scenery+ride quality)/4
Later the score is reduced depending on the length of the road. Simpy the shorter the road the higher the score reduction.
