Mobility Challenge

Mobility Use Case is promoted by the City of Aveiro in partnership with Associação Académica da Universidade de Aveiro representing Núcleo da Bicicleta da AAUAv, and the associations CICLAVEIRO an CICLOEIXO. This initiative will leverage the use of bicycle and promote safety among bike users with a technological component.

This case study aims:

- Improve the quality of living of those who live, work and visit Aveiro by using technology and disruptive solutions;

- Promote the use of bicycle in the region;

- Increase the use of bicycle in a sustainable way, having in mind the safety of bike users and the appropriateness of the urban infrastructures in relation to this option of transportation;

- Make the technological component of the Aveiro Tech City strategy more perceptible to citizens through activities with impact in their routines and quality of living.

 

The See.Sense Ace Rear is a sensor which collects a variety of data to be transferred to an analysis platform. This information allows city governments to assess and analyse circuits used and adopted by bike users, collect information about road conditions, urbans infrastructure and potential risks to cyclists. See.Sense Ace Rear has various sensors installed (800 records/second), which allows to detect and identify risks in situations with heavy traffic, by increasing its light and flashing, and to manage the light intensity according to the day light and battery level.

 

This activity is open to any person living in the municipality of Aveiro with 16 years old or more,

owning a bicycle. People under 18 years old must be registered by a tutor. All the participants must have a smartphone. There will be selected 180 participants.

The cost to participate is 5€, which will be invested in our partners. This price is basically symbolic since each unit costs 50€ in shops.
