This paper presents preliminary designs for the authors? IntelliBike: an innovative instrumented bicycle that can monitor the UK?s cycling infrastructure in real-time. IntelliBike will link global positioning system data, real-time camera footage, vibration (ride-quality) data, environmental (noise, light and pollution) data and, depending upon feedback and ideas at conference, extend this into cycle journey analysis and improved lateral vibration monitoring (to enhance the ride-quality monitoring and safety aspects of IntelliBike) along the UK?s off-road cycling network. A dedicated software platform will collate all data and provide an asset management tool aimed at better targeted cycling infrastructure maintenance. This applies the principles currently used on-road to cycleways thereby lending this sustainable mode a similar level of technology in its maintenance. The IntelliBike will be a software platform showing streamed video footage of each cycle-way with automated defect and hazard recognition, the correlation of measured on-bike vibrations with running surface quality, the correlation and mapping of camera data onto position data to support the vibration measurements, and the related monitoring/analysis of en-vironmental parameters for the first time across Edinburgh?s off-road cycle-way network. Self-funded UK-wide roll-out follows and the intention is to collaborate with EU partners, many of whom will be in the audience here, for extended application.
