Participate in cycling research

Making cycling safer and more attractive together

The Department of Cycling and Sustainable Mobility at the University of Kassel, together with other departments, researches how people move in cycling and what makes cycling safer and more pleasant. To this end, we regularly conduct real-world labs, bicycle simulator studies, surveys, and other research projects.

For our research, we are looking for people who would like to support us in this endeavor.

To get in touch with you, we collect your first and last name as well as your email address. To initially categorize suitable experiments, we also record demographic details, in particular gender, year of birth and postal code. In addition, a few cycling-related information is requested, e.g. whether you use a classic bicycle or an e-bike. This allows us to contact you specifically and only for experiments that suit you.

Registration is voluntary. You can withdraw your consent at any time without giving reasons, with effect for the future. Until then, your data will be stored for a maximum of five years after registration. 

If you are invited to a specific study, you will receive further information about the respective research project. You will then decide for yourself whether you wish to participate. Where necessary, separate consent will be obtained for participation in the respective study.

Access to the data is initially granted to the employees of the Department of Cycling and Sustainable Mobility entrusted with the participant pool. For research on the topic of cycling, contact details within the University of Kassel may also be passed on to the following departments to recruit participants:

  • Intelligent Embedded Systems (IES)

  • Communications Engineering (ComTec)

  • Transport Planning and Transport Systems

  • Public Law, IT Law and Environmental Law

Data is passed on exclusively for the purpose of finding suitable participants for corresponding research projects.
