OV fiets

Service designer
Project Overview
OV-fiets, a bike sharing platform of the Dutch railway, was researching the introduction of a new bike lock. This new lock would be opened with the OV-chipcard, the card travellers use on any type of public transport in the Netherlands.
My Contributions
As a service designer I was brought into the project to research the user needs with regards to the introduction of the new lock and responsible for providing solutions for the found problems. In this project we followed the double diamond approach.

Build
The project resulted in a development teambuilding an MVP version of the application, focussing on the pain points that needed specific features to solve. The MVP application was tested and evaluated during the pilot with the new lock in January 2020 by giving early excess to a limited group of users.

Currently some of the functionality designed in this project is being integrated into the main Dutch railway application (NSapp).
