- Problem is operationalising this data [@lovelace_propensity_2017]
- Needs to be provided in a format that can be acted on at the local level
- Requires a decent team
And in other projects:
- These tools have been 3+ years in the making
- Origins go back further
Concept (PhD) -> Job at UoL (2009 - 2013) Discovery of R programming and shiny (2013) Link-up with Cambridge University and colleagues (2015) Implementation on national OD dataset, 700k routes (2016) Completed LSOA phase (4 million lines!) (2017) PCT Wales commissioned + CyIPT Phase I (2018)
- Internationalisation (2018?)

"The PCT is a brilliant example of using Big Data to better plan infrastructure investment. It will allow us to have more confidence that new schemes are built in places and along travel corridors where there is high latent demand."
"The PCT shows the country’s great potential to get on their bikes, highlights the areas of highest possible growth and will be a useful innovation for local authorities to get the greatest bang for their buck from cycling investments and realise cycling potential."
Aim: tackle the challenge that cycling uptake is often limited by infrastructural barriers which could be remediated cost-effectively, yet investment is often spent on less cost-effective interventions, based on assessment of only a few options.

The purpose of this session is to get you more familiar with the PCT and the CyIPT in some real world scnearios.
- QGIS mapping software
- sDNA QGIS plugin
- R (see upcoming course April 2019)
- Key feature of CyIPT and PCT:
- Open source and provides open data downloads
