Collect mobility data – with open, field-proven infrastructure.
Instead of building your own data collection app for your cycling or mobility study, use our open-source SDK and our scalable data collection service: proven in STADTRADELN with over 1 million users a year, with full raw data access and no black box.
Acceleration, rotation and position – sampled at 50–200 Hz
Why research groups work with Cyface
Full raw data, no aggregates
You receive the complete sensor raw data (acceleration, rotation, position) in open formats – not just pre-processed results. Ideal for your own models, reproducibility and secondary analyses.
Open source, citable, traceable
The SDK and core components are open source on GitHub. Your methodology remains fully traceable – important for publications, reviewers and good scientific practice.
Faster to the field trial
Embed data collection into your study app via the SDK, or use our white-label app directly – instead of spending months on app development, start your data collection in weeks. Proven in STADTRADELN with over 1 million users a year.
Operated by us or by you
The Vert.x-based data collection service scales horizontally in the cloud – hosted by us on servers in Germany, or self-hosted in your institution’s data centre. GDPR-compliant, suitable for sensitive study data.

Example
One-year cycling study with your own study app: SDK integration with our support (billed on time spent, approx. 4 person-days) + 12 months of Research Platform at €312 = predictable infrastructure costs for your funding application – including hosting, updates and support.
All prices exclude VAT. The final price is determined by the individual quote.
From research, for research
Cyface emerged from research at TU Dresden and continues to work closely with scientific partners. Our SDK has proven itself in the Germany-wide STADTRADELN campaign with over 1 million users a year – data collection at a scale that individual research projects can rarely build themselves.

Together we clarify whether the SDK, the white-label app or self-hosting is the right path – and on request we prepare a cost calculation for your funding application.
