The exceptional Dutch Bicycle Infrastructure Training equips participants with the skills to develop effective cycling policies and infrastructure. It highlights cycling as a sustainable, healthy mode of transport that reduces urban congestion and improves air quality, emphasizing the importance of well-planned cycling networks.
Organized by DTV Academy in collaboration with GO-bility and supported by the Dutch Cycling Embassy, the course offers a hands-on learning experience grounded in the principles of the renowned CROW Bike Manual. Participants will explore the essential elements of safe infrastructure design, understand cycling behavior, and learn the five fundamental design principles for cycling infrastructure.
By the end of the training, they will be equipped to integrate cycling into urban mobility policies, design safe and efficient cycling routes, and apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios. Graduates will receive a certificate in bicycle infrastructure planning and design, enhancing their ability to advocate for and implement cycling-friendly environments.
Through expert presentations, excursions and on-site observations will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to design and implement effective cycling networks. During the course participants will work on their personal case studies implementing the learning straight away. Personal coaching and feedback will ensure a successful final presentation and graduation.

BUAS’ research group Urban Intelligence focuses on the optimisation of multi modal trips for cycling, public and car transport and on the relationship between traffic networks and the built environment. The group has developed insights and tools to support decision makers and designers in the development of cycling policies, networks and infrastructure design. A visit to the Urban Intelligence group and experience with a true VR cycle simulator is part of the training. Breda university of applied sciences is offering amongst others bachelor programmes in the field of traffic engineering, mobility, urban design and spatial development.
After graduating from the Dutch Academy of Traffic Hillie started working as a researcher at the Delft University.
