1 | background

Throughout Europe and other developed regions, ideas are

constantly being sought to facilitate the use of public

services in urban and rural environments. Some initiatives

directly point out the particular issue of automation of

urban services. In the overall goal of ecologically-friendly

traffic systems lies the challenge of how to provide a safe,

autonomous environment that serves and stimulates a

growing number of non-vehicular traffic. Cities are often

equipped with the basic needs for cyclists and pedestrians,

but their spatial resources for serving two-wheelers are

limited. Between cities, the steadily-expanding roads that

serve cyclists generally lack the means to provide an

experience beyond the road itself; despite the high

standards of care and planning, ‘snelfietsroutes’ are

usually oriented towards riding from A to B, a daily

race with little or no predestined places for visual

pause or physical relief.

To encourage a growing number of work-and-back

cyclists, and to enliven the monotony of this bicycle-

highway, we introduce an experience that combines the

efficiency of inter-city cycling, the purchasing power of

cyclists and a ready-available technology in one of the

world’s fastest growing markets.

‘Zijwegen’, or Sideways, is more than just a vending

machine. It is a series of drive-bys offering

products, light, up-to-date information on various

levels and a sense of identity and homogeneity

throughout the journey.

Readily accessible to all, the Sideways system stores

items for sale, displays general information and enables

cross-referencing along each of its stations. This is a

mix of technology and experience ideally suited for

frequent users of the public bicycle route.

Zijwegen – gebruikstations om aan elke behoefte te voldoen!

The Rijnwaalpad is a highway connecting two major

cities, four gemeenten and five villages to each other. It

superpositions a new trajectory on several typologies,

from the urban fabric through agricultural fields to open

landscapes and intersecting roads. Zijwegen sees the

potential of highlighting these bits of land by incorporating

their produce into the path.

Not just distances, but extras such as recreational

routes, tourist spots and local ‘streekproducten’ are

represented on one or the other side of the lane, in

accordance with agreements between municipalities

and the commercial entities involved.

In 2020, an estimated 170,000 people will be living in the

area between Arnhem and Nijmegen. The layout, variety

and 24-hour accessibility of Zijwegen certainly anticipate

this growth.

An enriched, upgraded commercial environment

providing comfort and a sense of well-being

A cyclist beheld as independent, responsible patron

with the freedom to pursue his or her own course and

act according to personal requirements

High-quality service points create a network between

old & new routes and introduces a new dimension to

journey-planning

The structure effectively combines public-space

design, smart technologies and environment-conscious

building

An item of local exchange: vending point, source of

income, meeting place, advertisement.

4 | design quick-stop with automaat

Zijwegen’s quick-stop system works as a network

and individually - all stations fulfill certain basic

common needs, and the contents of each individual

station are up to the local provider or endorsing retailer.

The purchasing system is completely cash-free, relying

on previously charged smart-cards for daily use. This

ensures a quicker transaction, discourages break-ins and

monitors users if necessary.

The basic quick-stop is a prefab concrete module, the diverging form representing the branching of two routes. The

side facing the approaching cyclist encases the vending machine and other hardware. The other side includes a one-

man seat for a brief pause under the shelter of the roof and a larger info-panel displaying time, temperatures and other

information. A low-profile rack for one bike completes the overall image.

Page 8: Zijwegen - ppt

Near the middle of the route on trajectdeel 5 (Kattenleger), a big rest area is envisioned. Unlike the common quick-

stops, it invites cyclists to experience the highway from without, that is - lock their bikes, buy a cup of coffee, magazine

or snack and take a break from the journey on a bench facing the view.

Applying off the grid fuel cell technology, also used to

power low-emission land vehicles, and solar-powered

energy will eliminate the need to connect the 17 km

network to electrical infrastructure.

The signage and information system network

throughout the route will comprise sources as GPS-

based data, local newsfeed, user-generated content

etc.

Another technological advance, interactive

monitoring, can be applied to the stations.

Monday, 7:30 AM: after waking up, brushing teeth and

eating breakfast, Annelies mounts her pedelec in

Nijmegen to get to her job in Arnhem’s WTC. It’s a

workday and she must welcome an important guest in

the office at 8:30. The usual travel time at 25 km/h is 40

minutes.

Driving slower than usual due to a rain shower and

sudden gusts, Annelies‘ umbrella doesn’t take the strain

and breaks around the 8,000 meter milestone. The

previous personal accessories stops were located at

14,000m, some 15 minutes behind, and she has already

passed the midway station. She should approach the

next one at 5,800m. She arrives at 8:05, slightly soaked.

Pausing to stabilize her bike, Annelies purchases a rain-

cape and a clean shirt, taking advantage of the

processing time to text that she may be five minutes late.

Placing the shirt in the rear carrier, she dons the cape

and moves on at 8:10. reaching work at 8:25, Annelies

briefly changes her shirt and adjusts her hair before

turning up at 8:35, (almost) as expected.

Every other Sunday, Hans from Elden takes his wife

and two children on a weekend cycling trip. This time

their destination is De Hoeve, six kilometres away.

Hans plans the trajectory from Knooppunt number 7 to

number 2. Since they have grown, both children are

proud to keep up with their own bicycles at a leisurely

9 km/h.

After some local sightseeing, the family rides back

through KP 8, past the Lingewal and through Bredelaar

to rejoin the Rijnwaalpad near the 8,000m milestone.

After this detour the kids are thirsty and their parents

need to use a bathroom. In the midway station Hans

has led them to, there ‘s soft drinks, advocaat and jam

for from a farm on Rijkerswoerdsestraat, besides a

clean WC.

It’s time to head home. Hans opts for cycling the

remaining way in a direct route and leads the 5 km

journey to Elden along the snelfietsroute, pausing

briefly at the 3,000m junction to buy flowers. It’s a

Sunday after all, and quick-stops are always open!
