JCDecaux & Ineo-Sense – Connected bike mobility
To provide a more reliable service for Bicloo users in Nantes, JCDecaux relies on connected sensors to detect bike availability at each station.
The result: a smoother experience, higher bike turnover, and easier access to sustainable mobility.
A public service that meets urban expectations
JCDecaux is a French industrial group specializing in urban advertising across various street furniture formats. Known for its advertising bus shelters (“Abribus”), JCDecaux also offers bike-sharing systems.
Cities are increasingly adopting sustainable transportation modes to reduce their carbon footprint. Launched by JCDecaux, Bicloo is a bike-sharing system operating in Nantes that provides an eco-friendly and practical alternative to cars.
However, users often faced a lack of information on bike availability at each station in the city, which impacted the quality of the service.
A smart infrastructure for more efficient stations
The installation of 1,600 ACS-Switch-TOF sensors enables the detection of bikes on each storage rail at every station. With the MonBicloo app, users enjoy quick and easy access to real-time information on bike and station availability.
This app not only allows users to locate available bikes but also manages rental durations and subscriptions.
More intuitive and better-managed urban mobility
- Thanks to the collected data, JCDecaux can analyze occupancy rates by station according to time slots and identify peak usage periods.
- “Stuck” bikes are detected and removed to encourage parking spot turnover and improve service quality for users.
- This step toward digitalization has made the bike rental service more accessible and user-friendly.
- Bicloo stations spread across the Nantes metropolitan area have quickly gained popularity.
