High-quality data on existing bicycle infrastructure are a requirement for evidence-based bicycle network planning, which supports a green transition of human mobility. However, this requirement is rarely met: Data from governmental…

Bicycle infrastructure networks must meet the needs of cyclists to position cycling as a viable transportation choice in cities. In particular, protected infrastructure should be planned cohesively for the whole city and spacious enough to…

Research on cycling conditions focuses on cities, because cycling is commonly considered an urban phenomenon. People outside of cities should, however, also have access to the benefits of active mobility. To bridge the gap between urban and…

Bicycle node networks are regional bicycle networks equipped with a wayfinding system of numbered nodes to ease recreational cycling. They spur sustainable bicycle tourism, economic spending, and local culture. Due to their country-wide…

While cycling offers an attractive option for sustainable transportation, many potential cyclists are discouraged from taking up cycling due to the lack of suitable and safe infrastructure. Efficiently mapping cycling infrastructure across…

Cycling is an effective solution for making urban transport more sustainable. However, bicycle networks are typically developed in a slow, piecewise process that leaves open a large number of gaps, even in well developed cycling cities like…

To what extent is the volume of urban bicycle traffic affected by the provision of bicycle infrastructure? In this study, we exploit a large dataset of observed bicycle trajectories in combination with a fine-grained representation of the…

Promoting active mobility like cycling relies on the availability of well-connected, high-quality bicycle networks. However, expanding these networks over an extended planning horizon presents one of the most complex challenges in transport…

Roads are among the most essential components of any country's infrastructure. By facilitating the movement and exchange of people, ideas, and goods, they support economic and cultural activity both within and across local and international…

With the focus that cities around the world have put on sustainable transportation during the past few years, biking has become one of the foci for local governments around the world. Cities all over the world invest in bike infrastructure,…

Cycling is a promising solution to unsustainable urban transport systems. However, prevailing bicycle network development follows a slow and piecewise process, without taking into account the structural complexity of transportation…

Shifting to cycling in urban areas reduces greenhouse gas emissions and improves public health. Street-level bicycle volume information would aid cities in planning targeted infrastructure improvements to encourage cycling and provide civil…

Cycling is an outdoor activity with massive health benefits, and an effective solution towards sustainable urban transport. Despite these benefits and the recent rising popularity of cycling, most countries still have a negligible uptake.…

The field of cycling analytics has only recently started to develop due to limited access to open data sources. Accordingly, research and data sources are very divergent, with large differences in information used across studies. To improve…

Sidewalks play a pivotal role in urban mobility of everyday life. Ideally, sidewalks provide a safe walkway for pedestrians, link public transportation facilities, and equip people with routing and navigation services. However, there is a…

Information and communications technology (ICT) within the agricultural sector is characterized by a widespread use of proprietary data formats, a strong lack of interoperability standards, and a tight connection to specific hardware…

Urban transportation networks, from sidewalks and bicycle paths to streets and rail lines, provide the backbone for movement and socioeconomic life in cities. These networks can be understood as layers of a larger multiplex transport…

Cities worldwide are trying to increase the modal share of bicycle traffic to address traffic and carbon emission problems. Aside from safety, a key factor for this is the cycling comfort, including the surface quality of cycle paths. In…

Cycling can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution and increase public health. With this in mind, policy-makers in cities worldwide seek to improve the bicycle mode-share. However, they often struggle against the fear and the…

The escalating challenges of traffic congestion and environmental degradation underscore the critical importance of embracing E-Mobility solutions in urban spaces. In particular, micro E-Mobility tools such as E-scooters and E-bikes, play a…
