Problem: evidence overload
- Problem is operationalising this data (Lovelace et al. 2017)
- Needs to be provided in a format that can be acted on at the local level
The Propensity to Cycle Tool - see www.pct.bike
Included in Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Strategy (CWIS)
The importance of infrastructure
- Clear link between infrastructure and uptake between 2001 and 2011
How to model infrastructure: CyIPT
- Cycling Infrastructure Prioritisation Toolkit simulates cycle infrastructure schemes across the country
- Interactive tool for planners: www.cyipt.bike (password protected)
Next steps
- Phase III PCT: Schools layer, training, 'near market' scenario
- Phase II of CyIPT: make publicly accessible
- Crowd-sourcing (active): Cycle safety, a 'Space for Cycling Toolkit'
- Crowd-sourcing (passive): updated OD data, all modes, road surface quality data (See.Sense data shown below - topic of new PhD)
- Integration of walking and cycling tools with sDNA (Cooper et al. 2018)
