Implementation of bicycle lockers Implementing e-lockers
A service point along a cycle highway could be valuable in attracting extra cyclists. An important condition for travellers to cycle is safe bike parking. To encourage multi modal trips, transfer nodes should be providing a proper bike parking facility. In the Netherlands, a uniform programme of requirements for implementing electric bike lockers has been developed in the past years. There have been several motivations to formulate a standard for this programme of requirements (POR):
- Open data so travellers and market parties can inform themselves
- Standardization enabling the exchange of parts/ components
- Standardization, enabling a lower market price for products
- Guidance for contracting parties
According to this POR, three elements should be included in the tender: the locker system, the web infrastructure and operation. Per element it describes what choices have to be made and what should be included in the POR.
For the purpose of this manual, the Dutch POR has been translated to English. Be aware, the graphs are in Dutch. If you would like to have more information on this POR, please get in touch with CROW.
