RUN2GETHER – Mapping Runners using AI and Computer Vision

RUN2GETHER is an interdisciplinary research project that aims to use running training groups and events as living laboratories where human movement, social identity, technology, and urban infrastructure dynamically interact.

Project

RUN2GETHER explores how collective running, one of the worlds most popular physical activities, can help build healthier citizens and more sustainable cities. Bringing together insights from biomechanics, from social and sport psychology, and from structural engineering stimulated by recent developments in machine learning, the project investigates how runners shared social identity can influence their movement synchrony, physical load, and interaction with the running infrastructures. Using cutting-edge computer vision, wearable sensors, and citizen science, RUN2GETHER will capture large-scale, real-world data during running events and group runs. These data will advance our understanding of how human collectives move...
