Cover Story: Cycling, as a zero-emission mode of urban transport, plays a key role in sustainable development and climate change mitigation strategies. In this regard, it is crucial for road authorities to ensure that cycle paths are safe, accessible, and well-maintained. High-quality surfaces are fundamental for cyclist safety, as they reduce the risk of accidents caused by surface irregularities. Considering this, proactive monitoring systems tailored to cycling infrastructure are being implemented. A low-cost monitoring solution based on Raspberry Pi has been developed, integrating sensors (IMU, GNSS, camera, magnetic sensor) mounted on a bicycle to collect and analyze pavement condition data. Field tests on various sections of Rome’s cycling network confirmed the system’s effectiveness in supporting maintenance and enhancing safe mobility. View this paper
