FietsInvest Quickscan helps local authorities invest in cycling infrastructure
Cities and municipalities today face major mobility challenges. Growing bicycle use, rising expectations around traffic safety and increasing pressure on public space demand well‑considered, evidence‑based decisions. But where do you start? How do you quickly and efficiently determine which segments of your cycling network deserve the highest priority?
Sweco’s FietsInvest Quickscan provides the answer. In one step, we offer local authorities clear insight into their investment agenda for cycling infrastructure. With a substantiated analysis and clear visualisations, we help you make smart choices. At the right time and in the right place.
What FietsInvest Quickscan means for your mobility policy
The FietsInvest Quickscan is an efficient, data‑driven screening tool that analyses your municipality’s cycling network and translates it into a clear investment agenda. Based on an accessible segmentation and an assessment of typology, layout and conformity, you receive a forward‑looking framework that guides design, policy and budget planning.
The FietsInvest Quickscan offers local policymakers a clear and consistent framework for strengthening their cycling network. In a single overview, designers and planners can see which guidelines to apply and which interventions deliver the greatest impact. Every euro is spent purposefully and justifiably. Moreover, with a well‑prepared investment agenda, municipalities stand much stronger when applying for subsidies, such as the Copenhagen Plan. Good preparation simply helps you move faster.

Why local authorities benefit most from the Quickscan
The Quickscan is ideal for authorities that want maximum strategic insight with limited time and resources. The tool is specifically designed for cities and municipalities that want to:
- strengthen their cycling network in a well‑founded way;
- gain a clear investment agenda;
- quickly steer future design tasks;
- better respond to subsidy opportunities;
- obtain complete insight despite limited internal GIS capacity.
Working together on your cycling infrastructure
During a joint working session, our experts map your entire cycling network quickly and clearly. All information is processed immediately in our cloud environment. You gain instant access to interactive maps, dashboards and documents that are easy to consult and share.
The FietsInvest Quickscan requires no additional software or internal training. Our experts take care of everything. In a single intensive session, we work together towards a clear, supported and well‑founded investment plan. During that one working day, we analyse around ten cycling routes. We divide the network into segments, determine the correct typologies and provide an indicative investment estimate. The result is a concrete, future‑proof framework for new projects, including a clear overview of the required budgets.
- No software burden: nothing to install or manage. We do the work, you gain the insights.
- Fast turnaround: one day is enough to obtain a complete and usable investment plan.
- Smart investment: a small effort that immediately pays off in better decisions and stronger subsidy applications.
Want insight into your cycling infrastructure priorities? Sweco supports you with an efficient, fully unburdened approach.
Extra benefits for cities and municipalities
- A clear and consistent design framework
Your cycling network is neatly divided into segments based on typology and layout, ensuring consistent design choices and a clear policy framework. - A substantiated investment agenda
For each segment, the required intervention is indicated along with an indicative investment estimate. This supports budget planning, prioritisation and decision‑making. - Stronger subsidy applications
With full justification of needs, priorities and cost estimates, authorities are well‑positioned for applications under programmes such as the Copenhagen Plan. - Clear visualisations and reporting
Interactive maps, an intuitive dashboard and a structured PDF report make the information useful for policymakers, designers and executives.
Get more out of your cycling network with real time data
The FietsInvest Quickscan runs on a cloud‑based GIS platform, keeping data secure, organised and always up to date. With everything online, there is no need to install software.
Powered by ArcGIS Online – innovation supporting your municipality
- Editing tool
The cycling network is quickly divided into segments. By adjusting a few attributes (typology, infrastructure, conformity), updated results are generated instantly. The BFF network forms the basis, but additional routes can easily be added. - Live dashboard
All decisions are visible in real time during the working session, ensuring transparency and allowing your staff to make immediate adjustments. - Overview map
Shows the full segment structure at a glance. Filters make it immediately clear where specific typologies or layouts apply. - Reporting tool
After the session, the tool exports a clear report with segments, typologies and investment estimates. The perfect basis for a supported investment agenda.
