Resumo(s)
Urban cycling as a sustainable mobility system gets increasing attention in practical and academic urban transportation planning. At the same time, many cities are willing to foster their transparency and openness of urban data by utilizing urban dashboards. In conjunction, it lacks digital tools such as an urban cycling dashboard that have the potential of collecting cycling-related data, assessing it, and finally communicating its information with data visualizations. However, intended users are rarely integrated already at the earliest conceptualization stage of such an urban dashboard, which often results in low usability and utility. Simultaneously, there is a lack of integrating cyclists and their experiences into the quality assessments of urban cycling. To address these practical and research problems, this work aims in conceptualizing a user-centered and participatory urban cycling dashboard. Therefore, we conduct a user survey with cyclists/citizens, and decision makers from our case study in Münster, Germany, and apply findings from literature and dashboard reviews. The results show the users’ preference for an informational focus on cycling infrastructure but also their motivation of exchanging information on cycling experiences and future projects. Generally, the feedback for integrating the local users at earliest stage is positive. Such a user-centric conceptualization is a first systematic step of developing a participatory urban cycling dashboard that should support the understanding of a complex urban cycling system as well as fostering more participation and transparency in urban cycling planning.
