Connecting a Pedelec to the Cloud as Basis for Gamification in Multi Modal Mobility Planning

Mobility behaviour changes and using IT systems to organize mobility is becoming more popular. At the same time, vehicles generate more and more information assets to control themself. This article shows, based on a commercially available pedelec, how information generated by the bike could be used in new context by sending it to cloud storage and aggregation services. Based on this information gamification could be applied to make mobility planning more appealing for users and thus motivating users to rethink their mobility behaviour in terms of economy, ecology and safety.
