Bicycle Observatory
On the Pulse of Cycling
Initial Situation
Although the bicycle experiences a tremendous renaissance and increased attention is paid to it by politics, science and businesses, significant research gaps in the understanding of bicycle mobility as complex system still exist. It is of crucial importance to close these gaps in order to sustainably promote bicycle mobility, reach the goals set by environmental-, energy- and mobility-strategies and to establish an active mobility culture. For the first time, social science data and technically sensed data are integrated in a common dashboard view, reflecting the various aspects of cycling mobility and their respective interdependencies.
