Tools for planning future Active Travel networks

To reduce carbon emissions in the transportation sector, the UK aims to increase cycling rates for short journeys. However, the UK has a disjointed and undeveloped cycle network which is unable to facilitate this increase in its current state. This project aims to study the cycling infrastructure connectivity within the UK and internationally to determine if the UK is able to host a developed cycle network and where development would be required. This abstract presents the author’s PhD project, to be developed over the next three years and intended to provide evidence for the future of UK cycle network development.
