Route planners for bicycling are a great tool for cyclists, municipalities and tourism (related) organisations. It makes way finding much more easy and gives cyclists the independence that they often seek. Also, it makes it easier for municipalities, regions and organisations to give information to (potential) cyclists. The interactive route planner and navigation “Naviki” is an even more attractive means of transportation for commuters, citizens and visitors.

One
of
Naviki‘s
most
popular
and
main
func6ons
is
cycle
rou6ng
between
arbitrary
start
and
des6na6on
addresses.
It
is
also
possible
to
add
stops
in
between
the
start
and
des6na6on

Ci6es,
regions,
tourism
organisa6ons
and
companies
can
be
partners
in
Naviki
and
provide
their
own
cycle
route
network.
They
get
their
own
landingpage.
This
is
the
landingpage
of
the
city
of
Rome

The
official
cycle
path
network
(if
provided
to
Naviki)
appears
highlighted
and
is
preferred
within
rou6ng
results
whenever
appropriate.
So
far
it
is
what
you
would
expect
a
routeplanner
to
do
10

10. 04-11-12
But Naviki is also about sharing experiences.
You can share your route on Facebook, twitter
And get extra information on landingpages
11

11. 04-11-12
A
Naviki
landingpage
is
may
include
pictures
and
other
informa6on
about
the
cycling
paths,
highlights
along
the
route,
services
and
facili6es.
Also,
a
landingpage
can
suggest
routes,
e.g.
for
a
recrea6onal
ride
compared
to
a
commute.

This
is
an
example
of
a
customised
Naviki
page
with
colours,
logo,
pictures,
text
elements
from
the
respec6ve
partner.
An alternative solution to a specific Naviki landingpage is the
integration of Naviki on the City’s webpage.

Foodvally in the Netherland, a regional public-private partnership also has a
landingpage, it is integrated with wikipedia information
14

14. 04-11-12
Additional information for landingpage partners is the fact that Naviki
automatically recognizes intersections of all routes and connects them
to a network.
This network is the base for routing requests.
That means: the more people use Naviki, the better it will become in
time. It is a self-improving system.
15

15. 04-11-12
Also,
there
are
social
control
mechanisms:
-­‐
Paths
with
high
ranking
receive
priority
in
rou6ng,
paths
with
low
ranking
are
avoided
-­‐
Comments
give
more
detailed
knowledge
-­‐
And
aKer
a
certain
number
of
alerts,
Naviki
automa6cally
excludes
problema6c
sec6ons
16

16. 05-11-12
Ci6zens
can
give
their
opinion
and
you
can
use
Naviki
to
ask
ci6zens
where
the
infrastructure
should
be
improved
to
make
cycling
more
aMrac6ve.
Naviki
users
can
easily
enter
this
kind
of
feedback.
It
provides
informa6on
for
planners
and
decision
makers.
