SÜDTIROLMOBIL BIKEBOX

Cyclists' mobility made easy

Südtirolmobil Bikeboxes are safe storage spaces for bicycles. The bike box service is seamlessly integrated into the Südtirolmobil system, enhancing the Mobility as a Service (MaaS) experience from a cyclist’s point of view. Cyclists with a Südtirol Pass can now use a single app to access a multimodal mobility service that includes public transport and smart bike parking, improving the overall travel experience.

The challenge:
Südtirolmobil (STA) commissioned Open Data Hub (NOI) to integrate real-time bike parking data into the platform and make it accessible via API. The aim was to ensure that cyclists could access live availability data on Bikebox spaces and integrate this information into the Südtirol Pass ecosystem — essential for a comprehensive urban mobility data platform.

The solution:
To meet this challenge, Open Data Hub has seamlessly connected its real-time data API with Bikebox infrastructure data. This enables live updates on parking space availability, helping cyclists to plan ahead more easily. This integration enhances digital mobility services for cyclists, promoting sustainable and bike-friendly travel.

The advantages:
Integrating bike infrastructure data into the Open Data Hub demonstrates the practical value of urban mobility data and its potential to enhance everyday travel. Both users and developers benefit — cyclists can access real-time information, and digital services can be expanded using a reliable bike parking API.

Cyclists with a Südtirol Pass can now access accurate, real-time updates on available bike boxes. This encourages the use of more sustainable transport and helps to build smarter urban mobility systems.
