Propensity to Cycle Tool Advanced Training Workshop
Essential training course for PCT users in local government, the third sector, consultancy, as well as other interested organisations and individuals.
Dec 9, 2:00PM - 6:10PM GMT
Join our training seminar
The Propensity to Cycle Tool (PCT) is widely used to provide an evidence base to inform cycling investment. In this training session you will learn how to download and use these open datasets. This may be of use to anyone interested in data-driven planning for sustainable and active travel futures.
The focus here is on analysing cycling potential in the open source statistical programming language R. We use R because the PCT was developed in, and can be extended with, R code.
Using
open source software with a command-line interface reduces barriers to
entry, enabling the development of open access transport models for more
citizen-led and participatory transport planning, such as integration
with the A/B Street city simulation and editing software
