To promote France as a leader in mobility innovation for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris, 21 projects (out of a total of 120 applications received) were selected by the the French Government’s Mobility Committee. Eco-Counter is a winner in the Innovations in Processes and Methods category for its active and shared mobility data analysis project in partnership with Geovelo & Fluctuo!
In the global context of the transformation of cities and transportation, some modes of transportation (such as cycling) have boomed. In recent years, municipalities have paid increasing attention to these alternative modes of transportation and implemented technologies to track and support their development, including automated bicycle counters, route planning, GPS tracking applications, shared micromobility, and much more.
These technologies have generated an increasingly large (and overall under-utilized) volume of data. Together with Geovelo & Fluctuo, our winning project aims to layer active mobility data from a variety of sources to build a transportation model that responds to the needs of planners and cities who aim to improve the conditions for cyclists and pedestrians.
GPS trace data, combined here with automated count data, is an increasingly important tool for planners.
This joint project will layer existing sources of data on soft and shared modes of transportation in the Paris region in order to better understand mobility trends. The final project outcome will be a geo-decisional dashboard to enable municipalities to better understand transit behaviour and inform planning decisions on active mobility.
