In our annual Summer School, students investigate the prerequisites for the usage of new technologies as well as the effects of these technologies on different aspects of the habitat “city”. In 2022, our student researchers were called upon to further develop a “green wave assistant”, the Radbahnflow. The so-called Green Wave is designed to help cyclists reach their destination more smoothly and safely. Using approaches like physical computing and machine learning on microcontrollers and accompanied by workshops and impulse lectures, the students created a prototype based on the open source model “Leezenflow” from Münster, which has already been successfully implemented. The Radbahnflow can connect to the Internet, display traffic light phases, and use its sensors to hear and see things that would otherwise remain hidden. The Radbahnflow is a friend to all road users!
