Identification

This solution reduces street congestion thanks to an intelligent bike rack that allows private bikes to be parked on the street with dock type security that locks the bike frame. The system can also be used as an ordinary bike stand without subscribing, by locking your bike with your own lock. Additionally, cities can also use the intelligent bike stand to provide bike-sharing services to its citizens. Highly versatile, Smart Lock & Dock offers a smart and hybrid solution to rethink and improve the use of public space and urban mobility.

Implementation Stories

Smart Lock & Dock by Smart Lock & Dock Ltd
Implemented by City of St Antoni de Calonge in St Antoni de Calonge (Spain) in 2020

The municipality of Calonge in Catalonia installed a prototype smart bike stand (SL&D) in January 2020. As next step, they are currently awaiting the green light to purchase their first major installation: a replacement of all the existing different types of bike stands installed. The majority of old bike stands have the same base as SL&D and thus can be refitted to become intelligent SL&D stands. In this context, implementation only takes 15 minutes – four bolt screws down.

Result

95% cheaper than traditional bike-sharing dock for a city
