Zombie Gunship Survival

Crowdsourcing cycling routes to focus transport budgets and make biking safer

Description

WeCycle collects how and where you travel to help make our cities and towns friendlier for cyclists and safer for everyone. It’s always on in the background, effortlessly figuring out how you're moving so you don't need to start it, stop it, or tell it what you're doing.

*** This is a Beta version and as such will have some bugs, we're keen to help change the cycling debate and so wanted to get out there. Updates are in the pipeline, over 1.8 million multi-modal miles collected so far, of which over 120k are cycling alone. Next big push is coming. ***

Action

Effortlessly record your travel diary simply by installing the app now. It automatically adds your cycle rides to our community canvas to help make the case for investment in your routes.

This first release of WeCycle does not automatically tell the difference between bike and cars - so please set your preferred road vehicle in the settings page (default is cycle). We’re working on this and other improvements so please email us your ideas how we can make WeCycle better.

North American Users

WeCycle will automatically collect your routes in North America, but cannot identify all vehicles like it does in Europe. Bear with us, and in the meantime please use it to contribute routes.

Privacy

We will not sell or give your data to marketers, as our express purpose here is to show where and when cycling is taking place across the nation. We work closely with cities and will press Local Authorities and the Department of Transport to act on this data.

Highlights

* See your journeys by plane, train, tube, car, bus, foot and bike on a map

* Get better accuracy by setting your usual road vehicle

* Automatically contribute your routes to our community canvas

* No need to start and stop the app - just take your phone with you.

* Calorie counter and automatic cycling detection coming soon

Battery optimised

WeCycle uses GPS and so WILL impact your battery, but we are constantly working to improve this. Our target is for you to still get through a working day.

Commuting in general

Even if you don’t cycle, contribute your travel commute to help make journeys faster, more enjoyable and safer for everyone.

About

TravelAI is unlocking the power of crowds to bring insight into movement across all forms of transport. We use smartphones and their sensors to analyse the speed and patterns of movement to automatically classify both public and private, foot-powered and mechanised transport modes.

Our aim is to help improve how we use transport systems by generating new and insightful data, because transport touches our lives in so many diverse ways. Better, faster and cheaper transport is the future we want to build with you.

Disclaimer

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Thank you

We're sincerely grateful to have received the support of the Nominet Trust in helping to part fund this project and genuinely look forward to fulfilling our aims.
