� What are the obstacles

� What could motivate to start cycling

� How does technology fit in

� How can smart mobility solutions contribute

� Mobility problems, e.g.: traffic jam

� Health, e.g.: lack of move, obesity

� Environment, e.g.: pollution, C02

Why move from cars to bicycles

� Weather conditions

� Road safety

� (Social) safety

� Bad road infrastructure

� Baggage

� Car effect, transport stickness

What are the obstacles

How to get people on the

bicycle� Make them privileged users in the transport system

� Increase road safety

� Increase social safety

� Increase comfort of driving a bicycle

� Reward using a bicycle instead of a car

� Decrease the travel time

� Promote the health factor

� Link with public transport

How does technology fit in…� Make them privileged users in the transport system

� Prioritize traffic lights by using B2I communication

� Implement Bicycle highways with separate lanes for e-

bikes ( B2V communication )

� Improve and monitor the infrastructure ( use built-in

sensors to measure and report bad road conditions)

� Early warning system for icy roads or other obstacles

using B2I

� Send travel patterns to urban mobility planners using

mobile communication

How does technology fit in…� Increase road safety

� Bicycle To Vehicle Communication to send out early warning

� Smart lighting that signals presence to other participants in traffic

� E-call functionality to quickly respond to any emergency situation

� Smart e-bikes which can interact with traffic and automatically adapt speed according to traffic situation

� Integration of camera in the rear light

� Increase social safety

� Smart lightning on bicycle lanes

� Inteliggent lightning on the bicycle itself

How does technology fit in…� Increase Comfort

� Navigation services

� Automatic electronic gear shifting

� Smart helmet with multimedia integration ( connection to smartphone, music, head up display, etc

� Adaptive pedal assistance

� Fast battery charging stations

� Improved ergonomic design of bicycles

� Reward using a bicycle

� Automatic trip recording and reporting to calculate mobility bonus using built-in tracking device

How does technology fit in…� Decrease travel time

� Lower the cost of e-bikes by introducing new motor, new battery pack topologies

� New infrastructure like bicycle highways

� Prioritize bicycles at traffic lights by smart communication

� Promote the health factor

� Use the possibilities of an e-bike to use it as the ideal workout device during travel from home to work (integration of sports apps, training schemes, interaction between power meters, heartrate monitors, adaptive pedal assistance, etc

How does technology fit in…� New public bicycle rental models

� Integration of electronic locks on public bicycles

� Remove the need of expensive fixed infrastructure

� Smart algorithms to match need with availability

� Aling intelligent reservation systems to time tables of

other public transport services
