Or maybe a Queen Mary out of matchsticks. ;-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11782#post-135616 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 15:29:39 +0000 Kim 135616@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The thing that seems to be missing from the current transport modelling is any concept of modal shift, the idea that you CAN encourage people to change from one means of transport to another by different interventions. Most transport modelling seems to be purely about predict and provide for motor vehicles, with no provision for active travel.</p> <p>Or am I being too cynical? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11782#post-135586 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 13:27:36 +0000 sallyhinch 135586@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Details here <a href="http://modellingonthemove.org/events/modelling-on-the-move-6-cycling-transport-modelling/" rel="nofollow">http://modellingonthemove.org/events/modelling-on-the-move-6-cycling-transport-modelling/</a></p> <p>Questions will include:<br /> What are the limitations of traditional transport modelling?<br /> In particular, how have these approaches obstructed planning for cycling?<br /> How are these barriers being challenged?<br /> What new trends do we need to take account of?<br /> What is the scope for developing current modelling approaches to deal better with cycling?<br /> What new modelling tools might be used?<br /> How might we better supplement modelling with other approaches/types of evidence?</p> <p>Being organised by Rachel Aldred, who asked me to pass the word on. She says:</p> <p>I am keen to have people from outside London along and potentially we can cover some travel costs. Also if you can think of anyone who might like to be part of a respondent panel (i.e. giving off the cuff, short brief responses to presentations) - or if you would like to be yourself - or who might like to present do let me know. I have a number of speakers arranged but want to encourage plenty of participation either through formal presentations or through commenting on presentations :) </p>
