/**
 * Main simulation service for virtualizing GPS routes with physics-based cycling.
 *
 * This service transforms a static GPS route into a realistic cycling simulation by:
 * - Computing optimal speeds for all terrain/power combinations
 * - Integrating physics equations over time
 * - Aligning simulated trajectory with GPS waypoints
 * - Back-calculating cyclist power from speed changes
 *
 * ## Algorithm Overview
 *
 * 1. **Time-stepping loop**: Integrate physics from start to finish
 *    - Calculate power balance at each step
 *    - Determine distance traveled
 *    - Align with GPS waypoints or interpolate
 *    - Enforce maximum speed constraints
 * 2. **Post-processing**: Back-calculate cyclist power from speed profile
 *
 * ## GPS Waypoint Alignment
 *
 * The simulation stays on the actual GPS route by:
 * - Using binary search to find current segment
 * - Snapping to waypoints when crossing them
 * - Interpolating position between waypoints
 *
 * This ensures the virtual cyclist follows the exact recorded path.
