BIKE™
The BIKE™ eco-system is a collaboration between different providers of bicycle data from all kinds of devices.
What is the BIKE™ Ecosystem?
The BIKE™ Ecosystem is a collaborative platform bringing together various providers of bicycle data, aiming to revolutionize urban mobility and infrastructure management. Through smart devices mounted on bicycles or integrated within them, we collect valuable data to support municipalities and road administrators in optimizing bicycle infrastructure and promoting sustainable transportation solutions.

BIKE™ Ecosystem ensures all data is handled with strict privacy and compliance regulations such as GDPR. Our secure cloud processing environment guarantees the confidentiality and integrity of your information.
Expand Reach
Joining forces with other suppliers amplifies the value of your data. By collaborating with multiple suppliers, the collective data enhances the overall impact.
What does it mean to be a supplier?
Want to enhance bike infrastructure, support greener transportation, help the environment, while generating revenue for your company
If you have bike devices generating time-stamped location data, share them to help assess bike infrastructure. Road authorities need aggregated data to make improvements. When included in the BIKE™ ecosystem, your data is handled in a privacy-compliant environment. We only ask that you share your anonymized data in return for your part in making a difference! No additional tasks required on your part, just automated data collection from your side!
More suppliers mean more value
One customer or supplier alone might not meet your business needs. Similarly, a single data point is not sufficient for analytics. That's why BIKE™ Ecosystem works collectively, combining data from multiple suppliers to generate comprehensive insights. Together, we can create a more sustainable and efficient bicycle infrastructure.
Views
Coverage
In order to display the data and show the coverage area, there is a Coverage map. This map can also be used to compare areas.
The data is processed into various views for customers. Below are some views planned for the BIKE™ service, but more may be added later.
- Travel times: (New) Real-time travel times show current congestion on bike paths, while historical data aids in statistical analysis for optimization or assessing improvements.
- Routes: Tracking cyclists from start to finish reveals popular routes and can identify areas or routes avoided by cyclists.
- OD matrices: Origin-Destination matrices, displaying cyclist numbers and travel times between areas, aid in assessing infrastructure needs for targeted improvements.
- Pop-up bicycle paths: During the COVID-19 pandemic, some cities created temporary pop-up bike paths on boulevards typically for cars. Mapping bicycle tracks in the area reveals these paths. Additionally, usage, ingress and egress of temporary routes are provided.
Data
The data that is collected can be used for a variety of specific use cases, which we have split into separate streams:
- Floating Bike Data: segment travel times and speeds
- Bicycle Route Choice: track data on bike choices in the infrastructure
- Bicycle Safety Data: grey area and risk zones detection
- Real Time Arrival Data: arrival time estimates for e.g., intersection green time extension
- Historic Raw Data: privacy-compliant historic data sources for post-processing targeting specific or highly detailed decision support
