Pin Bike - The certified and gamification tool for smart cities

Pin Bike aims to speed up the transition to a cleaner and more eco-sustainable mobility, throughout the certification of the kilometres travelled by personal bicycles for bike-to-work and bike-to-school routes, made by its anti-fraud patent hardware tracking system. It positively involves public administrations, businesses and citizens in a virtuous economic circle. Pin Bike is a practical and reliable bicycle traffic certification patented system. It allows the monitoring of urban bike traffic and reports on which days, where and how, users were headed to work or school. Incentives can be earned by users only within the selected urban area. The municipality can customize its initiatives with double or triple points, according to certain periods of the year or on certain days or times, or even according to users’ age. The project was conceived as a dynamic reward system that values cycling and promotes sustainable mobility solutions for citizens. Two actors are necessary: Users and the Organization (such as Municipalities, a Regional Government, School, University or a Company). Other actors can be Local Shops, Public Transport Companies but also interested Companies, Theatres, etc. since the vouchers given to the citizens can be spent exclusively on commercial activities in the city. In a smart city way, the system becomes quantifiable and instrumental in the perfect planning of urban traffic. It is, therefore, possible to evaluate which urban routes are most used by bicycle
