    Brief

    Atlantic Technological University is seeking to procure a comprehensive Virtual Reality Bicycle Simulation Suite to support innovative research across multiple disciplines. The system will enable studies in cycling behaviour, active travel, road safety, human factors, transport planning, and sustainable mobility. The complete suite includes: a research-grade VR headset (standalone or PC-linked), a direct-drive smart indoor trainer with integrated power monitoring and data collection, a controlled wind simulation system to enhance realism, and a multi-channel data acquisition system with minimum 4-channel capability (expandable for future research needs). An additional direct-drive smart bike trainer for outdoor and independent use is also required. Detailed technical specifications and requirements are available in the published tender documents. This procurement is funded through The Higher Education Research Equipment Grant scheme (HEREG), supporting cutting-edge research infrastructure in active mobility and transportation safety.
