During the last decade, bicycles equipped with sensors became an essential tool for research, particularly for studies analyzing the lateral passing distance between motorized vehicles and bicycles. The objective of this article is to describe a low-cost open-source sensor called one metre plus (1m+) capable of measuring lateral passing distance, registering the geographical position of the cyclist, and video-recording the trip. The plans, codes, and schematic design are open and therefore easily accessible for the scientific community. This study describes in detail the conceptualization process, the characteristics of the device, and the materials from which they are made. The study also provides an evaluation of the product and describes the sensor’s functionalities and its field of application. The objective of this project is to democratize research and develop a platform/participative project that offers tools to researchers worldwide, in order to standardize knowledge sharing and facilitate the comparability of results in various contexts.

The aim of this article is to describe an open-source application (Vifeco) that makes it possible to manually identify features on a video. Vifeco also allows to: manage the number of users, create a category (feature) and a collection of categories, read video and identify the features on it, and analyze the counting concordance between two users. Written in Java 11 with the JavaFX UI toolkit, Vifeco is a stand-alone, multiplatform (Windows, Mac and Linux) and multi-language (3 languages supported) application. The software is available under Apache Licence on GitHub (https://github. com/LAEQ/vifeco).

Depuis plusieurs années, on assiste au Québec comme ailleurs à une multiplication des applications cartographiques sur Internet, produites par plusieurs équipes de recherche. Conçues comme des outils de transfert des connaissances, ces applications sur mesure sont souvent basées sur des solutions libres et gratuites. Une telle approche de déploiement d'application cartographique offre une grande flexibilité tant du point de vue du design de l'application que de l'implémentation de fonctions de cartographie, d'exploration de données et navigation. L'objectif de cet article est avant tout méthodologique. Il vise à décrire le déploiement d'une nouvelle application Web, soit le Géolocalisateur d'entreprises de Lanaudière. Pour ce faire, les données spatiales utilisées, l'architecture innovante basée sur des microservices et les fonctionnalités de l'application sont largement discutées.
