Cycle path condition data as a building block for your projects.
Extend your service portfolio with smartphone-based cycle path condition surveys: you consult and plan, we provide measurement technology, data collection and analysis – under your own name, if you wish.
Surface quality in four classes, aligned with the International Roughness Index (IRI)
Why engineering firms work with Cyface
Reliable, traceable data
Surface quality is computed from vibration data and classified into four classes aligned with the internationally recognised IRI. The methodology is openly documented – you can justify every number to your client.
Open formats for your tools
All results come map-ready and in open formats, map-matched to the path network (OpenStreetMap). Importing into your GIS or planning tools is not a special project – it is the normal case.
Offer it under your own name
Whether neutral data delivery or a white-label appearance: you keep the client relationship, we stay in the background. Add an economical alternative to classic measurement vehicle surveys to your portfolio.
Economical even for small networks
Smartphone-based surveys pay off even where a survey vehicle would be disproportionate – municipal cycling networks, individual districts, before/after comparisons of construction works, or regular repeat surveys.

Example calculation
Cycling strategy for a medium-sized town, 105 km network: data delivery with project fee €3,000 + 105 km at tiered rates (100 km × €12 + 5 km × €9 = €1,245) = approx. €4,245 as a calculable subcontracted service in your proposal – well below the cost of a measurement vehicle survey. Project duration approx. 8 weeks; portal access & hosting 6 months included.
All prices exclude VAT. The final price is determined by the individual quote.
Proven, open, scalable
In STADTRADELN, our data collection SDK has captured the trips of over 1 million cyclists a year for more than 8 years; we trialled fleet-based surveys at city scale in Saarlouis and Leipzig, among others. The core of the software is open source on GitHub – your clients can verify the methodology at any time.
Let’s talk about your next project.
Whether a concrete tender or interest in a partnership – we are happy to show you sample data and export formats from a real project.
