In cyipt/cyipt: Cycling Infrastructure Prioritisation Toolkit

Outline

• Context
• The Propensity to Cycle Tool
• Tools to prioritise infrastucture

The scale of the challenge, from this...

Problem: evidence overload

• Problem is operationalising this data [@lovelace_propensity_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_testing_2018]
