Bicycle Registration and RFID Tracking Program

Project Description

The goal of this initiative is to track how frequently individuals ride their bikes on the University of Illinois campus using radio frequency identification (RFID). When students and faculty of the University register their bikes, they will each receive a tag for their bike with a personal ID number. With the data collected about their individual biking habits, students and faculty will be able to track how often they bike and earn rewards through an online interface and incentive system. The interface will show the number of times biked, the rewards an individual can earn, and offer the ability to submit reports since bikers often see needed improvements before planners and engineers. The incentive program will encourage more individuals to bike and develop healthier behaviors. Furthermore, data will be compiled to analyze the areas of campus that need the most attention based on the locations that are used most frequently.
