Very excited to share I've had my first journal paper published (with @CaRobson and @AlistairCFord) on identifiying #LTNs using #opendata.
We show our methods to locate where existing LTNs are across cities using measureable features of every neighbourhood (cont.)

Latest published research on low traffic neighbourhoods from Cohort 3 CDT student Chris Larkin and supervisors. Nice work, Chris! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@CaRobson @AlistairCFord This allows us to identify where already is, where are close to becoming and where is currently lacking in low traffic zones. This can be seen through webmaps which also highlight the features which make a given neighbourhood more or less "LTN like"

Had the most wonderful time working on all things cycle networks and superblocks related with the fabulous people at NERDS, ITU. Very excited to share the outputs of our collaboration in the near future!

Late 2024, one of our PhD researchers, @_Chris_Larkin undertook a placement at IT University, København, read more at geospatialcdt.ac.uk/cohort-3/phd-r…

@AlistairCFord I went to school with Anna (although a year or two above?), very difficult to news hear...
English
I met Anna Holland at last week's Science Speakeasy debate at @scienceatlife where they passionately and eloquently made the case for direct action to raise awareness for the need for urgent climate action. It's incredibly sad to read that they have now been jailed for 20 months.

🥫 BREAKING: 3 YEARS 8 MONTHS COMBINED IN PRISON FOR THROWING SOUP ⛓️ Phoebe and Anna have just been sentenced to 2 years and 20 months in prison respectively after throwing soup over the glass frame of Van Gogh's 'Sunflowers'. 🚔 Phoebe received a further 3 months for marching in the road for 20 minutes.

@David_AlvCas @GeospatialCDT The talk by @_Chris_Larkin on his PhD work to develop an open-source approach to mapping LTNs was well-received, with some rich disucssions and suggestions for improvement. Here's an example of his outputs for Zurich if you'd like to explore!

@GeospatialCDT @David_AlvCas It looks like its going to tip it down here any second now so I'm not feeling too smug ;)

Many thanks from a dizzly, chilly Newcastle for supporting both @David_AlvCas and @_Chris_Larkin at #CRBAM
Alistair Ford@AlistairCFord
It was a pleasure to present @David_AlvCas's PhD work from the @GeospatialCDT in a very hot room at #CRBAM today and be part of a thoughtful discussion about the role of modelling in planning for cities with higher active travel uptake. Great to see others using MATSim too! 1/n

@AlistairCFord presenting @David_AlvCas's agent-based model for Tyne and Wear, showing how changes in policy impact cycling levels 🚲📈
Fascinating session on cycle modelling and simulation this morning at #CRBAM 🚴♀️👨💻

Excited to be at @ETH for the 8th Cycling Research Board Annual Meeting. Looking forward to hearing from world-leading cycle researchers (and giving a talk myself, although world-leading qualities may or may not be present) #CRBAM2024

🚨NEW PAPER ALERT! 📃 Great work by PhD student Richard Burke of the @GeospatialCDT on developing an agent-based model of urban redevelopment in Toronto. Thanks to the help and support of Raja Sengupta of @mcgillgeography. Open access and free to read:

@AlistairCFord @badparkingncle not as bad as your example, but found this exquisitely parked "car" on Heaton Road on Saturday. Every other driver seemed to understand how car-parking spaces work!
English
@northumbriapol @badparkingncle @joycemccarty Despite the best efforts of Northumbria Police, the issue on Hunters Road continues. Anyone using a wheelchair or pushchair today will have to mix it in the carriageway with buses and HGVs thanks to this spectacular parking - dropped kerb, doube yellows, and on a junction!
English
Pavement parking on Hunters Road is getting worse. On some days there is now virtually no way through for pedestrians, given the number of cars abandoned there. Awful for anyone with a wheelchair or pushchair. Can @northumbriapol take action here? @BadParkingNcle @joycemccarty
English
@AlistairCFord No, but they were too muddy to wear around the YHA. Authentic Northumbrian mud in abundance up there at the moment. @cpeiretgarcia was in the same boat but managed to hide behind people (and gain a fair few centimetres in the process!)

After a fantastic week in the field, we're back on campus and about to hear from our students. Thanks to all of our colleagues for contributing to a fantastic week @VindolandaTrust @nationaltrust @LeicaGeo_UKI We're starting our session with a keynote talk from Fabio on GeoAI

@salawatson @AlistairCFord @owen_hopkins @FarrellCentre @cyclestreets Great! Will be in touch, hopefully can share some useful ideas!

Newcastle people!
Join us next week @FarrellCentre for this emergency City Forum asking why Low Traffic Neighbourhoods #LTNs are being removed in Newcastle and what their future is in our city.

Thanks to everyone who came along to my #gisruk2024 talk yesterday 😊 had some great discussions and feedback afterwards 👍 You can find more info on my GitHub page about the project and play around with some examples:

Kicking off GISRUK 2024 at Leeds! Excited for the rest of the week up coming. I'll be presenting my work on #LTNs in the first session on Greener Neighbourhoods later today #gisruk2024

@Microlambert @AlistairCFord @felt And on top of those, I ended up making my own "potentially cyclable" tag. It's essentially for streets which can't be driven on but have cycle parking (thus we assume that we must be able to cycle to the bike racks). Works well for town centres.

How useful is #OSM for mapping cycle infrastructure? I've tried to get a sense of what's available for Hackney, and it's complicated. For tracks and lanes associated with a road, you can either draw separately, or add a tag to the road felt.com/map/Hackney-OS… @felt @MacLondon
English
@Microlambert @AlistairCFord @felt bicycle == 'yes' & highway == 'footway', bicycle == 'designated', bicycle == 'use_sidepath', motor_vehicle == 'no' & highway == 'residential', motor_vehicle == 'no' & highway == 'unclassifed'
English
@Microlambert @AlistairCFord @felt (cont). generally, these are the tags which give the best mapping for myself: highway == 'cycleway', highway == 'bridleway', cycleway == 'crossing', cycleway == 'track', cycleway == 'separate', cycleway == ' oppesite_track', bicycle == 'yes' & highway == 'pedestrain' ...
