The agenda: cyipt.github.io/acton/articles/acton-workshop.html
Intro and overview (10:00 - 10:25)
- local policy and planning considerations by David Ellis, WSP
Policy requirements (10:25 - 11:00)
- Policy perspective by Ray Georgeson (10 minutes)
- Panel discussion (25 minutes)
Break, Data and methods (11:20 - 12:15)
- Talk on input data and API access from CycleStreets.net (20 minutes)
- Findings from case study sites by Joey Talbot (15 minutes)
- Spatial network analysis approaches for walkability by Crispin Cooper (20 minutes)
Next steps (12:15 - 13:00)
- Overview of outputs Robin Lovelace (10 minutes)
- Discussion + feedback
Lunch
Hackathon (14:00 - 16:00)
In this section, for developers, we will go in depth and work on the code for some of the topics discussed above, including:
- methods for estimating severance and identifying key links to overcome severance
- journey routing for walking – test out using OpenTripPlanner
- integrating the outputs of the ACTON project into other tools such as CyIPT and planning tools
- estimating travel to major trip attractors
- sketching a user interface to access ACTON data via a webtool, inspired by and building on https://www.streetfocus.uk/
Local policy and planning considerations by David Ellis, WSP
Policy requirements (10:25 - 11:00)
--
- How to improve active transport provision around new developments: a policy perspective by Ray Georgeson (10 minutes)
--
- Panel discussion of needs and wants for tools for integrating active transport in new developments (25 minutes)
--
Panelists:
Elizabeth Barner
Ray Georgeson
John Townsend
Roger Geffen

Questions:
- What are the limitations of existing tools and processes that are designed to support active transport in / around new developments?
- What are the most important factors preventing people who move into or who work at new developments from getting there by active modes?
- What would your dream tool for active transport planning look like?!
Data and methods (11:20 - 12:15)
(This will include discussion of progress and expected next steps)
- Talk on input data and API access from CycleStreets.net (20 minutes)
- improvements to PlanIt
- journey routing for cycling - progress on CycleStreets routing algorithm for ‘quiet’ journeys
- Findings from case study sites by Joey Talbot (15 minutes)
- accessibility and journey time statistics
- busyness of route segments
- barriers and severance
- Spatial network analysis approaches for walkability by Crispin Cooper (20 minutes)
Next steps (12:15 - 13:00)
- Overview of outputs so far and next steps by Robin Lovelace (10 minutes)
- Discussion in small groups of 3-5 (15 minutes)
- which outputs from the project will be most useful to you?
- what additional features/data would you like to see in future work?
- how do we make sure the project is useful for a wider audience?
- what areas for further development are people most interested in?
- Feedback from Groups (10 minutes)
- Individual feedback on tool (10 minutes)
