Important results from the project
To find key-factors that makes more people use the bicycle. We see two areas; The bicycle itself and driver, cloths and equipement The surroundings, in particular the road surface, and knowledge about it, including spatial and temporal aspects For the cyclists the main reason for not taking the bike is; 1. Road conditions 2. Weather 3. Laborius to dress
Expected long term effects
We have a first prototype og our mobile app for cyclists including an infrastructure for the system. The service is now operational och under test of our pilots. We have identified areas to adress for the next step.
Approach and implementation
We have followed the plan and it seems ok. A problem though was the fact that the winter, again, came very late so we have only had a copule of weeks of testing before the projected ended.
