Popis: Bicycle on bus (BoB) is a pilot project within CIVITAS Capital program, whose purpose is the exchange of good practices and experiences between CIVITAS cities. The project involves the development of a custom made bicycle carrier mounted on the rear side of the bus instead of purchasing a ready-made solution available on the market. The project consisted of two main parts. In the first part, potential technical solutions and the position of the bicycle carrier on the bus were analysed, and the carrier was designed. The second part included analysis of the bicycle carrier strength for different loads cases and analysis of critical welds and bolted joints. After which the bicycle prototype was built. Prototype of carrier is tested in real conditions of use. During that testing accelerations are measured in all three axes (directions) on the characteristic hilly roads. This paper describes a technical solution for a bicycle carrier, analysis of all required road safety regulations and the results of the structural analyses and data acquisition acquired during actual driving conditions.
