Whether your company is in the process of developing a next-generation app for cycle mapping or pioneering on-bike sensors that facilitate greater integration of Bike2Vehicle connectivity, MegaBITS wants to hear from you!
The goal is for you company to pitch their innovative Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) products and services to the MegaBITS cities and regions partners, which encompass the Province of Overijssel (NL), the Province of Antwerp (BE), the City of Copenhagen (DK), the City of Hamburg (DE), and Le Havre-Seine Métropole (FR). All of whom are actively planning to acquire innovative ITS technology to elevate their cycling infrastructure, policy, and planning to a prominent position on the global cycling stage.
Innovative cycling technology solutions should align with the three key Focus Areas outlined below:
Focus Areas
1. Journey Planning and Infrastructure
Imagine a city where your daily commute on a bike is a breeze. MegaBITS wants to explore radical technologies such as Routing Algorithms, Smart Traffic Lights, Counters, Dynamic Lighting, Bike Parking Solutions, Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA) and any other innovations that will redefine how urban landscapes are navigated by bicyles.
2. On-Bike Technologies
MegaBITS is not just about the streets; it's about the very core of the cycling experience. We are talking about on-bike technologies that connect the riders to vehicles and infrastructure around them (Bike2Vehicle and Bike2Infrastructure) and enable data sharing between cyclists (Bike2X). Technologies that improve bike connectivity are key here.
3. Data Management and Analysis
Data is the key to unlocking smarter cities and MegaBITS aims to empower cities with the tools to harness cycling data. We're talking about floating bike data and dashboards for monitoring, optimizing and improving traffic flows, and integration of cycling data within traffic management systems. Improving cycling data management and analysis means improved planning and policy, as what is tracked is measured, so technology that delivers here will improve cycling for all.
Approximately 40 minutes will be dedicated to each focus area. 5-minute pitches and a short Q&A will structure the session.
