Un nuevo proyecto paneuropeo está incorporando las bicicletas al ecosistema de vehículos conectados, con el fin de habilitar priorización semafórica, mejorar la seguridad y lograr una gestión del tráfico más inteligente.

A new, pan-European project is bringing bicycles into the connected-vehicle ecosystem in order to enable signal prioritization, improved safety and smarter traffic management.

Bicycle connectivity: Chain reactions

Electric bikes and scooters have swept through city streets with a mix of enthusiasm and controversy. Heralded as green alternatives to cars, these nimble vehicles promise less traffic, cleaner air and more accessible mobility. But the story hasn’t been all smooth riding, as highlighted in our recent article on the challenges that micromobility both faces and presents. From cluttered walkways to safety concerns, shared micromobility has faced criticism wherever it’s been introduced.

A two-wheeled future: How cities can re-imagine shared e-bike and e-scooter solutions

It’s probably not a particularly wild assumption to make – at least 50% of the readers of this article have at some point used a micromobility vehicle. You may have rented e-bikes on a family holiday or bought an e-scooter with the notion of zipping to the local shops on it when you’ve run out of milk.

The invisible challenge: Micromobility’s struggle to find a lane

Después de varias contribuciones exitosas al evento principal de Intertraffic en Ámsterdam, la Embajada de la Bicicleta de los Países Bajos recibió una invitación increíble el año pasado: a solicitud del socio de conocimiento de Intertraffic China, la Academia China de Ciencias del Transporte (CATS), se nos invitó a participar en un simposio de medio día titulado “Los sistemas modernos de micromovilidad mejoran la calidad de vida”. Este evento, que se llevará a cabo en Shanghái en abril de 2025, está pensado como el primer paso hacia un intercambio de conocimientos más estructurado y a largo plazo entre los Países Bajos y China sobre movilidad activa y sustentable.

After a number of successful contributions to Intertraffic’s flagship Amsterdam event, the Dutch Cycling Embassy received an incredible invitation last year: at the request of Intertraffic China’s knowledge partner, the Chinese Academy of Transportation Sciences (CATS), we were asked to participate in a half-day symposium entitled “Modern Micromobility Systems Improve Quality of Life”. Taking place in Shanghai in April 2025, it was intended as a first step in a more structured and long-term knowledge exchange between the Netherlands and China on the topic of active and sustainable mobility.

The number of passenger kilometres travelled declined by 50-60% worldwide since the onset of this COVID-19 crisis including the use of micromobility solutions. However, due to shorter distance travels and fear of contamination in public transport, citizens of Europe and other continents chose bicycle over other modes of transport more often. In this article we discuss three micromobility developments.

Pedal power: three micromobility developments

The way we navigate our cities is in a state of rapid flux. From electric vehicles to self-driving cars, we’re seeing major shifts in urban mobility, particularly in the last decade.

Urban Mobility Developments: Past and Future

Antwerp's Deputy Mayor for Mobility, Koen Kennis, emphasizes that micromobility operators must contribute to the city's modal shift. Key criteria include safe vehicles, adherence to city rules, and data-driven compliance. Innovation, such as restricted parking zones, is essential for public acceptance. Antwerp manages a limited number of schemes, involving e-scooters, shared bikes, cargo bikes, and shared cars. Kennis stresses the importance of dialogue between the city and operators, urging them to understand and align with city needs and regulations for successful collaboration.
