Harnessing user data
Summary
"The rise of mobile phone apps and the fact we now all carry a GPS sensor everywhere in our pocket has opened up new opportunities for city planners.
Cities including Glasgow, Reykjavik and Brisbane have used data from cycle tracking app Strava, while Austrian startup Bike Citizens both guides riders on the best routes through cities and collects data on routes, speeds and problems which local authorities can then use to inform and improve bicycle networks."
