Improving safe cycling in a city has great benefits for:
Our technology plans the locations of new bicycle tracks on the existing road and path network:
Bicycle tracks have a physical barrier (concrete blocks, bollards/pylons, etc.) protecting cyclists from motor traffic.
Our analysis and planning of the cycling network require a model for the behaviour of the typical cyclist:
Maximum speed: 18 km/h; maximum trip time: 30 minutes.
A turn-key solution for biking network analysis and planning for your city.
Well-established rating system for biking safety on a road:
A function of road type, posted speed limit, on-street parking, number of lanes, cycling infrastructure.
Output of algorithm: where to place protected bike tracks.

Second output of algorithm: tradeoff curve between making the most urgent infrastructure improvements and amount of biking trips improved.
Third output of algorithm: accessibility of neighbourhoods to workplaces (lighter colours represent better access).
