Active Travel Explorer

经济、社会和环境效益与安全的积极旅行相关，欧盟的外部效益计算为骑自行车0.18欧元/公里，步行0.37欧元/公里(驾驶成本0.11欧元/公里)-https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0921800918308097.However，提供成功的干预措施是复杂的。最近关于街道关闭的报道就证明了这一点，这些报道呈现了不同利益相关者群体的相互冲突的经历(https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2020/nov/01/car-free-neighbourhoods-the-unlikely-new-frontline-in-the-culture-wars?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other).The相同类型的干预并不是在所有地方都有效，要想了解什么最有可能奏效，需要了解问题的原因(不仅仅是症状)，以及谁住在那里。这是一个多尺度、多系统的问题，如果更大规模的条件不能使步行或骑自行车变得方便，那么关闭街道、改善公共空间、提供街道照明、自行车道或人行横道都不会改善情况。需要一种整体的方法来完善干预措施，不仅基于骑自行车的人或行人有效，而且必须同时考虑同一条街道上的其他使用者和用途。这对于年纪很小或年纪很大、不太自信或身体健全、不太可能响应法定咨询流程的用户群体来说尤其重要。解决方案需要跨传统的纪律和部门孤岛进行合作。现有帮助计划干预措施的工具，但在这些竖井内工作，而不是在它们之间工作，并专注于症状，而不是原因。商业街上有行人、骑自行车的人、学校、房屋和商店，但被归类为主干道，往往有更多的交通流向这些街道。Space SynTax提出了一个用户友好的、基于网络的工具，以支持非专业用户。它将解释核心城市系统(街道、土地使用、公共交通)如何相互作用，使步行和骑自行车成为可能。它以城市街道为特征，解释哪些用户、用途和交通方式同时位于同一空间，并确定在哪里可以积极出行。它们与人口普查数据相一致，使易受伤害社区得以确定和考虑。已经为英格兰、威尔士和苏格兰生产了潜在的电子烟。活跃的旅行探索者工具针对的是当地政府规划者、交通规划者和公共卫生专家。它将被设计成与他们的工作流程相结合，而不是覆盖现有的数据集，将专注于回答一系列设计问题，以确定优先领域，然后定制具体的干预措施。这将使更好的干预措施得以实施，为政府政策和社会带来更广泛的好处。

Public descriptionEconomic, social and environmental benefits are associated with safe active travel, with external benefits in the EU calculated at €0.18/km for cycling and €0.37/km for walking (driving costs €0.11/km) - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0921800918308097.However, delivering successful interventions is complicated. This is evidenced by recent coverage of street closures that present the conflicting experiences of different stakeholder groups (https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2020/nov/01/car-free-neighbourhoods-the-unlikely-new-frontline-in-the-culture-wars?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other).The same type of intervention does not work everywhere, and to understand what is most likely to work requires understanding of the cause of the problem (not just the symptoms), and who lives there. It is a multi-scale, multi-system problem, and if the larger-scale conditions do not make walking or cycling convenient, closing streets, improving public realm, providing street lighting, cycle-lanes or pedestrian crossings will not improve things.A holistic approach is needed to refine interventions based not just on what works for cyclists or pedestrians, but which must also consider the other users and uses who are in the same street, at the same time. This is especially important for user groups who are very young or old, less confident or able-bodied, and less likely to respond to statutory consultation processes.Solutions require working across traditional disciplinary and departmental silos. Tools to help plan interventions exist but work within these silos instead of across them, and focus on symptoms, not causes. High streets contain pedestrians, cyclists, schools, houses and shops, but are classified as main roads, and often have more traffic routed to them.Space Syntax proposes a user-friendly, web-based tool, to support non-specialist users. It will explain how core urban systems (streets, land use, public transport) interact to make walking and cycling possible. It characterises the streets in a city to explain which users, uses and modes of movement are in the same space at the same time, and identifies where it is (im)possible to travel actively. They are compatible with census data enabling vulnerable communities to be identified and considered. The underlying IUM has already been produced for England, Wales and Scotland.The Active Travel Explorer tool is targeted at local authority planners, transport planners and public health specialists. It will be designed to integrate with their workflows, and instead of overlaying existing datasets, will focus on answering a sequence of design questions to identify priority areas, then tailor specific interventions. This will enable better interventions to be implemented, delivering government policy and wider benefits to society.
