About Cyface<\/h2>\n

Reducing CO2<\/sub>-emissions in cities has become more important than ever, which is why bicycles and associated traffic routes are at the forefront of work and research at Cyface<\/a>. Cyface not only focuses on climate protection, but also promoting citizens' health. To accompany this change, the collection and evaluation of cycle path and road traffic data are essential. Together with a strong network of engineering service providers, science and industry experts, Cyface carries out projects in which they enable flexible data acquisition and create meaningful analyses of traffic routes.<\/p>\n

The cyface app<\/h2>\n

The Cyface app is a tool for metrological bike riding on streets, cycle paths or sidewalks. During the bike ride, the sensors built into the smartphone record movement and vibration data. With the help of an accelerometer, gyroscope and satellite supported position detection, a wide range of data can be collected. Vibrations are recorded autonomously, while riding a bike or driving a car (sampling rate of 50-200 Hz), and subsequently saved and transferred to a predefined server once connected via Wi-Fi. Using a position signal and time stamp, the bike ride and street profile can be recorded exactly. The more people using the app, the more data captured and hazards detected.<\/p>\n

The road quality is examined for vibrations of one centimeter or more and subsequently classified and displayed on the website using a four-point scale based on the international roughness index (IRI).<\/p>\n

Blue = very good; green = good; yellow = moderate; red = bad.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With the white label app, the user can change the Cyface app according to their individual ideas and preferences in their projects. Design, buttons, and functions can also be adapted for each project, giving the user an application tailored to their needs.<\/p>\n

With Open Source, there is a crowdsourcing-approach, which makes it possible for citizens, building authorities and partner companies to use the software to record position and vibration data while riding a bicycle, car or motorbike. This reduces the costs of recording road conditions and the need for expensive inspection drives.<\/p>\n
