Velocity, the intelligent digital platform, enabling you to develop successful cycling and walking plans, quickly, confidently, and efficiently.

The challenge

Over the past year, cycling numbers have doubled in many countries around the world and will continue to grow as society moves towards net-zero.

As a society, our infrastructure hasn’t kept up, and nor have our approaches.

Are you a local authority under pressure to:

  • Improve cycling infrastructure and safety?
  • Identify where new facilities are required?
  • Prioritize plans for investment, despite a lack of clear data?
  • Secure funding to deliver on your ambitions, in ever-shorter time frames?

Our solution

Created with you in mind, Velocity, our intelligent digital platform, enables you to develop successful cycling and walking plans, quickly, confidently, and efficiently.

With Velocity, you can design and deliver next generation bike routes to meet the transport needs of today and the challenges of tomorrow.
