- Nivel provides cities with a real-time digital regulator for e-scooters and other shared mobility. The platform ingests vehicle data to show the city’s micromobility status and lets administrators adjust parking zones, fees or incentives as conditions change. A two-way data exchange connects cities and operators. Citizen tools report illegal or unsafe parking, while operator tools help companies address poor parking.
- The article describes e-scooters as useful, potentially sustainable transport that can also create hazards and visual clutter when parked randomly. Cities have responded by restricting or banning them, which the article says can also discard potential benefits. Nivel’s tool aims to support more tailored rules, safer and tidier streets, connections to public transport, and quick access adjustments; it can be installed in days.
- Bergen uses the software to regulate more than 3,000 scooters from seven operators. The company says the public sector is its main customer. The article cites 34 European cities with over one million residents and says scooter numbers are expected to rise. Nivel was established in 2019 and received support from EIT Urban Mobility. SDGs 3, 9, 11 and 13 shown.
