Written by the project managers Ronald Jorna and Robin Kleine, the BITS Legacy brochure gives an overview of what the BITS project achieved during the its four year duration.
The mobility sector is full of ICT-developments that have a major impact on how we travel and how we use our public space. While these developments, often referred to as ‘Intelligent Transport Systems’ (ITS), receive a lot of attention when it comes to motorized transport, this is certainly not the case for ITS applications for cycling.
Considering that cycling, as a healthy and sustainable mode of transport, is increasingly being promoted, we should ask ourselves; What role could ITS play in promoting cycling? The Bicycles and ITS Project (BITS) has done exactly that and from 2019-2022 the program has demonstrated over 30 ITS applications for cycling.
This document offers a comprehensive summary of the accomplishments of the BITS project over its four-year duration, along with an outlook for the future of cycling and ITS.
