About
LifeCyle is Jersey’s first data trust which will help us create a pool of information about cycling in Jersey. The data about your journeys will be shared with local organisations seeking to improve cycling conditions.
About the See.Sense Safety Light
See.Sense combines highly advanced sensor and AI-fusion technology to get a detailed understanding of your cycling experience. These insights can help us to inform organisations making decisions about cycling infrastructure, planning, policy, safety measures, carbon reduction, transport changes and new local cycling services.
What data does the See.Sense light collect?
While switched on, the See.Sense light will monitor your environment up to 800 times per second, collecting and sharing insights into your journeys and ride-experience. This includes braking, swerving, collisions, and road surface conditions mapped onto your routes. Through the app you can also report safety incidents and infrastructure issues. Your data will be pooled with other local cyclists’ journey data and all insights generated will be anonymised, which means when the data is shared LifeCycle participants won’t be identifiable from the journey data collected by their specific bike light.
How will this improve cycling in Jersey?
The insights collected by the See.Sense technology will plug Jersey’s ‘data-gap’ about cycling in the island. This will give us powerful new insights into where and when cyclists are travelling as well as highlighting the routes that cyclists avoid and the challenges they face. By making these insights available to organisations looking to make cycling better in Jersey, we can empower our community with a more detailed understanding of where improvements need to be made to make cycling safer, smarter and more rider-friendly island wide.
About LifeCycle
LifeCyle is Jersey’s first data trust which will help us create a pool of information about cycling in Jersey. The data about your journeys will be shared with local organisations seeking to improve cycling conditions.
LifeCycle is a pilot project launched by Digital Jersey and Jersey Office of the Information Commissioner and supported by several local firms and organisations. The project explores how Jersey trust law and local trustees can adapt to looking after data (instead of money or assets). Data trusts are a new way for people to control and benefit from their data. Professional trustees will oversee the data and make sure that insights are shared according to clear criteria.
