This technical paper advocates data-driven urban transportation sustainability, prioritizing cyclist detection via radar and thermal imaging sensors. It offers a model for cities striving to improve cyclist safety and sustainable transit while emphasizing the integration of precise cyclist detection into existing transportation systems. Funded by Ireland’s National Transport Authority (NTA) through the Active Travel Grant program, the Cork City Council (CCC) cycle detection project aims to enhance cyclist safety, promote sustainable transportation, and gather data for future infrastructure planning. This aligns with CCC’s active travel strategy, highlighting technology’s role in supporting sustainable and secure transportation. The paper underscores the critical importance of accurate cyclist detection and provides guidance for urban planners, transportation engineers, and policymakers. Data-driven decisions prioritize safety, sustainability, and a better urban cycling experience. The project evaluates various cyclist detection technologies at 102 Cork city junctions, ultimately selecting radar detectors and thermal imaging. Implementing these technologies ensures precise cyclist detection, counting, and the supply of invaluable data for future planning and cyclist safety. Strategic technology implementation empowers the CCC traffic management system, facilitating accurate cyclist detection and counting, which informs infrastructure investments and safety measures, enhancing the cycling experience and urban efficiency. Continuous data collection and dashboard visualization streamline analysis, fostering improvements in cycling infrastructure for all road users.
