Biclanet
As part of an interdisciplinary project with the client Cicla, I worked as an Erasmus student in the Creative Computing & AI program on the digital layer of a connected bicycle parking concept, exploring how IoT signals, data visualization, and intelligent behavior can support safer public infrastructure. The project integrates physical and virtual prototyping with an app, AI & ML and system thinking in our Biclanet B2B concept.

This project responds to the CICLA challenge to design a connected, secure, and sustainable bicycle parking system for Lisbon.
The Biclanet concept builds on this challenge by integrating IoT sensing, AI-driven prediction, and weather-aware feedback into a single interactive system.
While theft prevention remains the core functional goal, Biclanet focuses on an often-overlooked factor: cyclists’ trust and comfort when parking in public space.
By addressing concerns such as real-time availability, perceived safety, shelter from weather, and clear digital feedback, the system aims to reduce uncertainty and encourage everyday cycling.
Through a full semester project connected to 4 courses, we demonstrate how intelligent systems can translate these needs into concrete technical behaviours, validating the concept through physical and virtual prototyping concepts, data flows, and interaction design.
The courses:
Physical Computing and Iot
Creative Programming (Unity)
Introduction to AI (p5.js and AI)
Applied Automatic Learning (ml5.js and ML)
The synergy:
Master in Creative Computing & AI
Master in Product, Space and Interaction Design
Master in Design and Advertisement
