ConceptX is a recurring 24-hour long competition where you solve real-world challenges in collaboration with other students and experts in the field. On October the 10th a 24-hour session dedicated to The Future of Biking will be held. A topic that this region excels in, with both Copenhagen, Malmö and Lund being amongst the top in bicycle density and bicycle friendly cities in the world.
Making this region even better for bikes
Traffic planners need to better understand the patterns and flows for bikers in urban environments. The mission of participants at the event is to help cities of Lund, Malmö and Copenhagen to develop a concept that gives traffic planners a better understanding of the bikers’ movement patterns and opportunities, as well as obstacles when choosing bicycle as a mean of transportation. The participants have 24 hours to solve this challenge, together with other students and experts within the field to work on specific cases. Some of the cases are:
- How can a city better plan their cycling infrastructure using data?
- How to create better conditions for cyclists by using various IT solutions?
- How to customize city infrastructure to meet the growing need for high-speed bike lanes?
- How can we develop city centers to create better conditions for bikers and other participants of the transportation system?
