Active Mobility

ORBIS (Open Routing for Bike Intermodal Systems) a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform that transforms a city's existing cycling infrastructure into a smart digital mobility service. It combines a citizen app that plans bike trips based on safety, slope, traffic exposure, lighting, bike-parking availability and climate comfort, with tailored routing modes (safest, family-friendly, low-slope, and well-lit), alongside a municipal dashboard that displays usage patterns, popular routes and critical segments.

At its core, a cycling graph built from Geographic Information System (GIS) layers powers a multi-criteria routing engine, while a central hub integrates the cycling network, bike parking with real-time occupancy, bike-sharing services and third-party data. Gamified badges support citizen engagement.

Its modular, standards-based architecture and open APIs make it easily replicable across European cities.
