People, places and movement
June 10 2009, 10am-4pm
Chelsea Football Club, London, SW6
part of the 2009 Transport Modelling Forum
Accessible, legible and walkable urban spaces, supported by a rich mix of urban uses, cycling routes, public transport and sustainable travel solutions, attract people and encourage activity.
This one-day event, held as part of the 2009 Transport Modelling Forum, will explore a range of approaches, being developed by transport planners, urban designers and academics, that aim to understand how people move around and interact in towns and cities - and how they’d like to.
It will explain how such understanding can help to create people-friendly and economically viable places that work effectively and that people enjoy using.
PROGRAMME
10.15 Graham Long, Colin Buchanan
Adapting traditional transport-oriented models for pedestrians; creating a movement/economic framework and evidence base to support people-friendly environments
10.45 Dr Jake Desyllas, Atkins Intelligent Space
Advanced modelling for people and place: Oxford Circus and other examples
11.15 Jonathon Tricker, Associate Director, Urban Initiatives
The Urban ISM model: assessing street networks and movement patterns. Urban ISM (Integrated Spatial Model) is a suite of software tools and methodologies for integrating the principal elements that make places work. The approach can examine a range of city and neighbourhood scales, assessing urban structure/movement, land use mix/density, social infrastructure and development viability.
11.45 Coffee
12.00 Dr Alison Chisholm, Department of Planning, Oxford Brookes University
Understanding walking and cycling through a multi-methods approach which combines spatial network analysis (Multiple Centrality Assessment developed by Sergio Porta at the University of Milan) and qualitative approaches such as ethnography and audio travel diaries
12.30 Eamonn O'Neill, Department of Computer Science, University of Bath & Cityware project
Advances in mobile and wireless communications have enabled us to detect and record the presence and movement of users and their devices. These data provide a rich source of information for understanding people’s relationship with the city. An analysis of urban Bluetooth data and visualization techniques can be used to model and make sense of the spatial and temporal patterns of mobility, presence and encounter within these data
1.00 Lunch
2.15 Chair-led discussion: the role of agent-based models for pedestrian modelling
Can widening such model applications to include open spaces where human behaviour is more random, and therefore difficult to model or predict, be seen as abusing the model’s real functionality?
3.15 Reception (with Transport Modelling Forum delegates) and networking
