?? German cities are getting smarter - and so is mobility! ?? The Smart City Index 2024 by Bitkom highlights an increase in smart mobility solutions across Germany: from intelligent traffic lights and digital traffic signs to connected mobility apps and multimodal stations. Cities are embracing technology to make transportation more convenient, flexible and sustainable. ??♂? At MegaBITS, we are playing our part in making cycling smarter because we believe it's key to creating safer, smoother, and more comfortable journeys! ?? Curious about our implementations in Germany? Read about our Pilot Projects in Hamburg: https://lnkd.in/duMmuSpe ??

??? Ville de Paris and London are leading the way in Europe’s shared bike boom, according to?Fluctuo’s 2024 European Shared Mobility Annual Review! ?? The data from the recently released report shows that Paris’ Vélib' Métropole’ bike share system is Europe’s most used shared mobility service, recording 49 million rides last year. In second place London, with 29 million trips, representing also one-third of all dockless bike trips in Europe. ?? Bike sharing services' connected bikes are continuously generating valuable data, providing deeper insights into cycling trends and urban mobility. ??

?? What’s the future of C-ITS applications for cyclists? ?? The interaction between vehicles and between vehicles and infrastructure is the domain of Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS), enabling road users and traffic managers to exchange and use information in a trusted ecosystem to coordinate their actions. ?? C-ITS is a powerful collaborative element that can improve cyclists’ experience, helping with traffic safety, time efficiency and convenience. It is already present in some applications for cyclists, such as smart traffic lights and route information, but broader implementation still requires standards, a user-friendly interface, and a critical mass of users. ??

?? Planning a weekend in the Provincie Overijssel ? Why not hop on a bike and be part of something bigger! ?? ? The Provincie Overijssel isn’t just about beautiful #cyclingroutes — it’s about #greener, #smarter ways to move and build. ? ?? Through MegaBITS_EU, cycling is getting a digital upgrade with Intelligent Transport Systems (#ITS) — making rides safer, smoother, and more connected. ? The goal? 10% more cycling kilometers and 8.8% less CO2. ? ??? And it doesn't stop there. Provincie Overijssel is pushing for a circular economy — cutting primary resource use by half by 2030 and going fully circular by 2050 — with the CircleBIM project leading sustainable building practices. ? Powered by Interreg North Sea Programme, Provincie Overijssel is paving the way for a cleaner future — on two wheels and beyond. ? So this weekend, grab your #bike, take in the fresh air, and ride the change! ?? Join the ride and see how tech and sustainability go hand in hand! ?? Enjoy your Friday, all! #Fridaypost #ThisistheNorthSea #madewithInterreg #MegaBITS #SmartCycling #CircularEconomy #BIM #GreenDeal #35yearsinterreg

?? Good to see the Recreational Bicycling Access Tool launched overseas! ?? Developed by PeopleForBikes in collaboration with REI, the resource measures and quantifies access to recreational bicycling facilities across the U.S. to guide investment in more and better places to ride. ?? The tool is meant to help a broad spectrum of stakeholders, from land managers and government officials to bike advocates and academic researchers, make data-driven investments in infrastructure. ??
