The benefits of shared micromobility are clear, from providing a cleaner alternative to cars to serving as an ideal option for the first or last mile of a multimodal journey. Yet to fully thrive in cities, it must overcome everyday challenges such as parking, safety, and integration with other modes. Smart cycling solutions tackle these areas effectively, introducing innovative ways to make shared micromobility safer, more organized, and better connected.
In a recent article, Intertraffic highlighted several solutions that help cities optimize micromobility while keeping urban spaces functional and accessible, also showing how technology and smart design can work together to create safer, more efficient, and user-friendly streets. Among these, we see smart cycling initiatives such as:
- GPS-linked virtual parking zones to prevent clutter in urban areas
- Data collection to enhance rider safety
- Gamification to encourage responsible use
- Dynamic pricing to optimize fleet distribution
