B-Riders (www.b-riders.nl) is the first project ever to closely follow a large group of bike users (2,500 participants) over a long period of time – one year. A highly innovative bike tracking system was developed, and implemented, featuring an app that automatically registers all trips 24/7. The system then autonomously analyses trips and assigns them into categories - foot, car, public transport or bike.

Dutch company Erdi Verkeerstechniek will use Intertraffic Amsterdam 2014 to launch the BikeFlex Flexpost, designed to protect cyclists. This latest addition to the company’s range of poles absorbs the shock of collision and reduces the chance of injury. Made of flexible rubber/plastic, a solar flashing LED can be fitted to the top of the post to increase its visibility during hours of darkness.
The Barrier.Gate, an intelligent barrier system from Skidata, is an inexpensive solution for long-term parking facilities because it combines column and barrier in one product. Less consumption of energy and space are among its sustainable benefits. The barrier communicates via light signals of the integrated track light, while the built-in camera helps to prevent vandalism and unauthorised entry through a closing barrier.
The Scanacar Parking Space Classifier recognises and classifies empty parking spaces. This opens the way to mapping out parking areas and informing drivers and navigation systems about available parking spaces. It also enables efficient enforcement of illegal parking, for instance in loading bays or disabled places.
