aThe world of mobility is being digitized, resulting in an intelligent transportation system (ITS). Bicycles can play a significant role in this, and can even become a key pillar of a sustainable, safe and effective mobile society. However, so far they are not fully integrated into the new era, which will bring potential risks due to the shared road infrastructures and unexpected cycling behaviour.
To address this, the University of Twente, TU Delft and TU Eindhoven organises a competition on making bikes smarter by leveraging the digital technologies. The participants can use real-time data collection, wireless communication and data analytics to make cycling safer, more comfortable, and healthier.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
