2. Smart biking
14
Cycling has always been a popular mode of transportation, a great form of exercise,
15
and an environmentally-friendly way to get around. In recent years, the world has witnessed
16
a technological revolution that has impacted every aspect of our lives, and cycling is
17
no exception. The emergence of the "Smart Biking" concept has brought together the traditional
18
joys of cycling with cutting-edge technology, creating a new and exciting experience for
19
cyclists.
20
The heart of the smart biking concept lies in the development of smart bikes. These bicycles
21
are equipped with advanced sensors, microprocessors, and connectivity features that make them
22
much more than just two-wheeled vehicles. Smart bikes are designed to gather and analyze
23
data, communicate with other devices, and provide enhanced functionalities to both the rider
24
and the environment. Smart bikes come with built-in navigation systems and GPS trackers.
25
Riders can set their destinations through a mobile app or directly on the bike's interface.
26
The bike's GPS provides real-time navigation, suggesting the best routes, avoiding traffic,
27
and even indicating points of interest like bike-friendly cafes or parks. This feature is
28
particularly useful for urban commuters and long-distance cyclists who want to explore new
29
routes (Rahman, Dura, 2022).
30
Safety is a primary concern for cyclists, especially when sharing the road with motor
31
vehicles. Smart bikes incorporate various safety features like proximity sensors, collision
32
detection, and automatic brake systems. Proximity sensors warn the rider of nearby vehicles or
33
obstacles, while collision detection can automatically apply the brakes in emergency situations.
34
These technologies significantly reduce the risk of accidents and enhance the overall safety of
35

cycling (Wolniak, 2016; Czerwińska-Lubszczyk et al., 2022; Drozd, Wolniak, 2021; Gajdzik,
1
Wolniak, 2021, 2022; Gębczyńska, Wolniak, 2018, 2023; Grabowska et al., 2019, 2020, 2021).
2
Smart biking encourages a healthy lifestyle by integrating fitness tracking functionalities.
3
Built-in sensors can monitor the rider's heart rate, calorie expenditure, distance covered,
4
and other vital health metrics. This data is then synced to the rider's smartphone or fitness app,
5
allowing them to keep track of their progress, set goals, and make improvements in their fitness
6
routine (Prajeesh, Pillai, 2022).
7
Electric bikes, or e-bikes, are becoming increasingly popular, and smart biking takes e-bikes
8
to the next level. Smart e-bikes offer various modes of power assistance that can be adjusted
9
based on the rider's preference or the terrain. For instance, the bike can automatically increase
10
assistance when climbing a hill and reduce it on flat roads to conserve battery power.
11
This efficient energy management maximizes the bike's range and minimizes environmental
12
impact.
13
Smart biking fosters a sense of community among cyclists. Dedicated mobile apps and social
14
platforms allow riders to connect with each other, share experiences, plan group rides, and even
15
compete in virtual cycling events. This social aspect of smart biking not only makes the
16
experience more enjoyable but also motivates cyclists to stay active and engaged. Smart bikes
17
can be equipped with environmental sensors to collect data on air quality, temperature,
18
humidity, and more. By crowdsourcing this data from a fleet of smart bikes, city planners and
19
environmental agencies can gain valuable insights to improve urban planning, optimize cycling
20
infrastructure, and make cities more sustainable and bike-friendly (Boichuk, 2020).
21
Smart bikes are equipped with self-diagnostic systems that monitor the bike's performance
22
and condition. They can detect potential issues such as tire pressure, chain wear, or brake
23
problems and notify the rider in real-time. This proactive approach to maintenance ensures that
24
the bike is always in top shape and minimizes the risk of breakdowns during rides (Ku et al.,
25
2022).
26
The smart biking concept represents an exciting fusion of technology and traditional cycling,
27

The European steel industry is experiencing new challenges related to the market situation and climate policy. Experience from the period of pandemic restrictions and the effects of Russia’s armed invasion of Ukraine has given many countries a basis for including steel along with raw materials (coke, iron ore, electricity) in economic security products (CRMA). Steel is needed for economic infrastructure and construction development as well as a material for other industries (without steel, factories will not produce cars, machinery, ships, washing machines, etc.). In 2022, steelmakers faced a deepening energy crisis and economic slowdown. The market situation prompted steelmakers to impose restrictions on production volumes (worldwide production fell by 4% compared to the previous year). Despite the difficult economic situation of the steel industry (production in EU countries fell by 11% in 2022 compared to the previous year), the EU is strengthening its industrial decarbonisation policy (“Fit for 55”). The decarbonisation of steel production is set to accelerate by 2050. To sharply reduce carbon emissions, steel mills need new steelmaking technologies. The largest global, steelmakers are already investing in new technologies that will use green hydrogen (produced from renewable energy sources). Reducing iron ore with hydrogen plasma will drastically reduce CO2 emissions (steel production using hydrogen could emit up to 95% less CO2 than the current BF + BOF blast furnace + basic oxygen furnace integrated method). Investments in new technologies must be tailored to the steel industry. A net zero strategy (deep decarbonisation goal) may have different scenarios in different EU countries. The purpose of this paper was to introduce the conditions for investing in low-carbon steelmaking technologies in the Polish steel market and to develop (based on expert opinion) scenarios for the decarbonisation of the Polish steel industry.
