Cycle to Work represents a pioneering initiative in the field of urban cycling and sustainable mobility. Launched with the Milan Bike Challenge 2022, this app is not just for a single event, but is an evolving project aimed at involving companies and communities in the transition from cars to bicycles.

ACTIVITY DETECTION WITH PRECISION

Thanks to an activity recognition library, the app distinguishes between different modes of transportation like biking or walking, ensuring accurate tracking and reliable data.

GEOLOCATOR FOR REAL-TIME TRACKING

The Geolocator plays a crucial role in providing accurate location data, operating in the background for continuous monitoring.

BACKEND AND ANALYTICAL TOOLS FOR AN OPTIMAL USER EXPERIENCE

The use of Google Cloud Functions, Firestore Database, and Firestore Storage ensures effective data management. Services like Crashlytics and Google Analytics provide valuable insights for continuous improvements.

The project realized is not limited to the development of a mobile app; a fundamental part of the system is the administration panel we have created. This tool allows event organizers to manage with ease and precision the insertion and organization of new cycling challenges. The simple and intuitive panel is designed to simplify the work of administrators, allowing them to focus on the creative and logistical aspects of the challenges.

Through this panel, organizers can configure event details, define routes, set goals and prizes, and monitor real-time participation and progress of participants. This centralized platform makes event management more efficient and significantly reduces the administrative workload, allowing organizers to spend more time promoting the event and interacting with the community.

For the development of the Administration Panel, just like the app, we opted for the use of the Flutter and Firebase combination.

Cycle to Work is not limited to a single event or initiative but aspires to continually expand its influence, organizing new events and collaborating with companies to promote sustainable mobility.

This application targets a broad and diverse audience, aiming to stimulate a significant cultural shift: moving the preference from car commuting to bicycle use. This shift not only benefits the environment by reducing pollution and CO2 emissions but also promotes a healthier lifestyle among users.

Moreover, operating under the MIT open-source license, Cycle to Work encourages the developer community to actively participate, offering their contributions and ideas for continuous improvement of the app. This openness not only ensures transparency and innovation but also solidifies the app's position as a dynamic and continually evolving tool, ready to adapt and grow in response to emerging needs in sustainable urban mobility.

Cycle to Work is not just an app for cycling events, but a true catalyst for urban sustainable mobility. Through advanced technology and continuous innovation, it emerges as a key tool for a greener and healthier future.
