The campaign involved >3000 municipalities across the entire country. Over a three-week period, which participants could freely select between May 1 and September 30, the goal was to replace as many car trips as possible with bicycle trips. Participants could use a smartphone application to record their data. The recorded GPS trajectories were transferred from the smartphone to a data lake as a database dump and were then regularly retrieved by a backend server for data pre-processing. During this process, trips, activities, modes of transport, and driving modes were identified. For the dataset presented, individual trajectories were processed with respect to several core variables characterizing cycling behaviour. The dataset was spatially filtered beforehand. A total of 109 cities and municipalities were selected based on variables such as population size, the number of campaign participants, topography, the modal share of cycling, and geographic location within Germany, in order to obtain a representative impression of cycling behaviour. As a result, >8 million trip records with 37 distinct variables were collected over the data years 2022-2024.The dataset was analysed within the scope of the project Bicycle Driving Behaviour in Germany, focusing on waiting and loss times for cyclists and the influence of various personal and city-specific parameters. Additionally, the data allows for evaluations of cycling frequency, trip distances, speeds, accelerations, daily and weekly patterns, and comparisons between the different data years regarding the influence of weather conditions. Moreover, the known starting and ending points of trips can be used in transport demand modelling for model development and calibration. Overall, the dataset offers extensive opportunities for scientific analysis due to its scope and wide spatial coverage, making it a valuable resource for research in cycling behaviour and transportation planning.</p>","PeriodicalId":10973,"journal":{"name":"Data in Brief","volume":"68 ","pages":"113189"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13571499/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148963200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ethical approval was obtained from the Campus Research Ethics Committee, The University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, and all participants provided informed verbal consent before participation. Data were collected through semi-structured one-on-one interviews conducted virtually via Zoom to ensure accessibility, confidentiality, and participant comfort. Although participants were given the option of in-person interviews, all opted for virtual participation. Recruitment was facilitated through advocacy and community organizations supporting special needs families. Purposive and snowball sampling methods were employed to select 15 participants who met the inclusion criteria of being parents of special needs dependents. The participants varied across several demographic characteristics. Their ages ranged from 31 to 69 years. Marital status included single, married, and widowed individuals. Participants had between one and four children, with some having one or two children with special needs. Educational attainment ranged from secondary-level education to tertiary-level education. Both male and female participants were represented. All interviews were transcribed verbatim and anonymized before analysis. Thematic analysis was performed using QDA Miner software through a multistage process involving data coding, categorization, and synthesis. Data saturation determined the final sample size, ensuring adequate depth and diversity across socioeconomic, geographic, and disability type variations. The dataset includes anonymized interview transcripts and coded output tables produced during thematic analysis. It provides detailed qualitative evidence on caregiving practices, systemic barriers, and psychosocial impacts experienced by parents of special needs children in a small-island developing state.

The Badini Kurdish dialect, written in Perso-Arabic script and spoken across the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, lacks any dedicated NLP preprocessing pipeline in the literature. This paper presents Dasinya, the first openly released Badini Kurdish text corpus, together with the Badini Dialect Processing Toolkit (BDPT) — the first NLP preprocessing pipeline built specifically for this dialect. Dasinya contains 107 files, 87,545 sentences, and roughly 1.28 million words, spanning two source types and nine sub-genres: six book sub-genres (literary, historical, cultural, scientific, psychological, and educational) and three non-book sub-genres (news, academic/linguistic, and broadcast). These files were drawn from two repositories: the Badirxanian Public Library in Duhok (98 books) and the Semantic Web Lab at the University of Zakho (4 books and 5 non-book files). BDPT is structured as a six-stage pipeline that handles validation, Unicode normalisation — enforcing Badini-specific character mappings and preserving the Zero-Width Non-Joiner as a morpheme boundary marker — structural cleaning, deep cleaning, text preprocessing, and sentence segmentation. Orthographic problems particular to Badini Kurdish are addressed at each stage; none of these are handled by existing Arabic, Persian, or Sorani tools. At Stage 6, sentence segmentation reaches a specialist-validated Acc% of 91.4% across all 107 files, measured under a two-metric framework (OK% and Acc%) with genre-sensitive thresholds that reflect genuine linguistic differences between books, news, broadcast, and academic texts.
