THE tool for improved cycling infrastructure!
When broken glass or tree roots leave you swerving, poor lighting makes cycling at night unsafe or cycle routes suddenly end, RADar! can help. Citizens report issues by dropping pins directly on a digital map so that their municipality knows exactly where it needs to take action. And municipalities are able to publicly inform cyclists about improvements.
Good overview thanks to pins
RADar! reports are located on a road map using pins. A total of five categories show at a glance whether reports still need to be processed (red), are currently being processed (yellow), have been processed (green) or currently cannot be processed (white). Positive feedback can also be indicated with the blue thumbs-up pin.
Edit reports
Reports can be forwarded and comments made that are visible to the general public.
Filter reports
The filter option allows only pending, only archived or all reports to be displayed. Reports can also be filtered – by the reason or address, for example.
Export data
The export function enables users to export and save all reports in an Excel list and/or shapefile.
Manage RADar!
The reporting platform functions can be configured to suit. Select reasons for reports, adjust email texts, add contact details to share publicly or manage accounts.
Dark or light mode
Choose between dark and light modes for optimal readability.

Feedback
RADar! greatly simplifies the communication with citizens for our administration. We can immediately see on the map where we need to make improvements, without having to check all of the routes ourselves regularly.
As active cyclists, we’re aware of issues and shortcomings in our local cycling network. With more than 400 reports submitted via RADar!, there were still some that were new to us though. In addition to praise and criticism, we were additionally able to respond to citizens’ questions about specific points.
With the RADar! platform, local citizens can easily report issues and shortcomings in the cycling network. At the same time, us officials from the rural district can comment directly on these or inform cyclists when an issue has been resolved.
