Bike Monitor

Winter 2019 - 2020

Our inner city living lab will soon be the first place with a 3D-printed, self-driving vehicle that transports people across campus autonomously. What are the impacts of self-driving vehicles on our streets and sidewalks, and how does autonomous delivery work in public space? The city commissioned us to explore these questions.

Bureau Marineterrein & City of Amsterdam has approached Tapp to conduct a comprehensive Traffic Risk Analysis to measure the number of vehicular entering and exiting the intersections of Dijksgracht footbridge.

Solution

We designed a solar powered (portable) camera used to capture 4 weeks of pedestrian traffic data. The Object Recognition Algorithm is open source and co-developed together with the Amsterdam CTO office. The data collected and used in the impact analysis report for the Ministry to approve the use of the shuttle. 

The study captured foot and bike traffic at the busy 3-point intersection. The result was a beautiful infographic based dashboard revealing the many trends, behaviors and patterns of our city waterfront
