- Abstract: High-quality data on existing bicycle infrastructure are a requirement for
evidence-based bicycle network planning, which supports a green transition of
human mobility. However, this requirement is rarely met: Data from governmental
agencies or crowdsourced projects like OpenStreetMap often suffer from unknown,
heterogeneous, or low quality. Currently available tools for road network data
quality assessment often fail to account for network topology, spatial
heterogeneity, and bicycle-specific data characteristics. To fill these gaps,
we introduce BikeDNA, an open-source tool for reproducible quality assessment
tailored to bicycle infrastructure data with a focus on network structure and
connectivity. BikeDNA performs either a standalone analysis of one data set or
a comparative analysis between OpenStreetMap and a reference data set,
including feature matching. Data quality metrics are considered both globally
for the entire study area and locally on grid cell level, thus exposing spatial
variation in data quality. Interactive maps and HTML/PDF reports are generated
to facilitate the visual exploration and communication of results. BikeDNA
supports quality assessments of bicycle infrastructure data for a wide range of
applications -- from urban planning to OpenStreetMap data improvement or
network research for sustainable mobility.

Many potential cyclists are discouraged from taking up cycling due to the lack of suitable and safe infrastructure.
We propose a system capable of classifying available cycling infrastructure from on-bike smartphone camera data.
This work is the first to classify cycling infrastructure using only street-level imagery collected from bike-mounted mobile phone cameras.

of Denmark [0.0]
Cycling is a key ingredient for a sustainability shift of Denmark's transportation system. To increase cycling rates, a better nationwide network of bicycle infrastructure is required.
Planning such a network requires high-quality infrastructure data, however, the quality of bicycle infrastructure data is severely understudied.
Here, we compare Denmark's two largest open data sets on dedicated bicycle infrastructure, OpenStreetMap (OSM) and GeoDanmark, in a countrywide data quality assessment.
We find that neither of the data sets is of sufficient quality, and that data set conflation is necessary to obtain a complete dataset.

Our results show how network analysis with minimal data requirements can serve as a cost-efficient support tool for bicycle network planning.
