Automated and secure bicycle parking

KADRA's approach

In the context of rapid urbanization and the promotion of sustainable mobility, bicycle parking becomes an essential component of urban infrastructure. The lack of secure spaces, the risk of theft or vandalism, exposure to unfavorable weather conditions, and difficult integration into public spaces are real challenges for authorities and developers.

KADRA addresses these needs with a wide range of secure and automated bicycle parking solutions – from modular structures to fully automated vertical or underground systems. These solutions are designed to offer a high level of protection, efficiency, and accessibility, contributing to creating a more cyclist-friendly urban environment.

Benefits

KADRA’s secure and automated bicycle parking solutions transform the way bicycles are parked in urban environments, offering safety, efficiency, and aesthetic integration.

Enhanced Safety

Complete protection against theft and vandalism, as well as unfavorable weather conditions.

Spatial Efficiency

High storage capacity on a reduced surface area, optimizing the use of urban land.

Promoting Sustainable Mobility

Encourages bicycle use, contributing to reducing congestion and pollution in cities.

User Comfort

The ability to store accessories such as helmets or bags together with the bicycle, in a clean and dry environment.

Aesthetic Integration

Modern design that harmonizes with the urban landscape and can be used as advertising space.

Data Collection

Monitoring daily usage and collecting useful information for urban planning.

Products

Automated above-ground systems

Towers or vertical structures where bicycles are stored safely, with automated operation and control via a mobile app.

Enclosed modular containers

Compact units with digital access control, variable capacity, and video monitoring options. They can be quickly installed in public or private spaces.

Underground parking systems

Smart solutions for areas with limited surface space, allowing bicycles to be lowered below ground level in a protected environment

Compact units with automated operation

Structures that are easy to integrate into the urban space, without major infrastructure interventions, ideal for institutions, shopping centers, or residential neighborhoods.

High-capacity robotic towers

Suitable for high-traffic areas – train stations, campuses, major intersections – they ensure fast and secure storage for a large number of bicycles.

Service and Maintenance

Automated bicycle parking operates outdoors, day and night, regardless of the weather. Robotic towers, modular containers, and automated underground systems are more complex than they seem — motors, transport mechanisms, locking systems, access readers, and digital connectivity, all exposed to temperature swings, humidity, and unpredictable use. A failure in such a system doesn’t leave the user without access to parking — it leaves them with their bicycle locked inside.

Checks cover transport and storage mechanisms — the guides, motors, and position sensors of vertical and underground systems; access systems — card readers or the mobile app and the locking mechanisms of access doors; modular structures and containers — sealing, locking systems, and the condition of interior platforms; connectivity — communication with the monitoring platform and the functionality of error alerts.

Unlike car parks, where a fault is immediately visible, an issue in a bicycle parking system can go unreported for hours. That’s why periodic checks and remote monitoring are more important than in other contexts. A planned maintenance program means users find the system working every time they need it.
