On/Off Road Cycle Infrastructure Review - Urban
Venue: Glasgow - Cycling Scotland Office
Site Visit: Glasgow Connect 2 Cycle Infrastructure
Presentation about the use of segregated cycle facilities designed and built in Glasgow.
Cycle route signs help route users find their way, they advertise the presence of route and make people aware that routes are part of wider networks. Poor signage is a (the) major cause of frustration with cycle routes and has even been cited in coroners' reports* - when lost cyclists have ended up on trunk roads. Despite this, signage is often an afterthought.
This workshop will give participants a good understanding on what effective signage can look like, and how it can be achieved. As well as presentations, participants will cycle on parts of the National Cycle Network to see examples of signage in different (Urban and Rural) environments.
The document discusses planning and designing cycle infrastructure in Scotland. It aims to help candidates understand current policy and guidance, identify design principles, and explain retrofitting cycle routes.

North East Bicycle Corridor linking Chandle Hiqhway and Alexandra ParadeGreenlivingpedia
A direct arterial shared path built from Chandler Highway where the Darebin, Yarra, and Anniversary Trails converge through to Alexandra Parade. Presentation to Linking Melbourne Authority Planning Panel
The document introduces the Design Manual for Urban Roads and Streets (DMURS), which provides new national street design guidance for Ireland. DMURS aims to change the conventional approach that prioritized vehicle movement over other street users. It advocates for a balanced approach that considers streets as places as well as routes for movement. DMURS seeks to create "self-explaining streets" where street design influences driver behavior to naturally reduce speeds and prioritize vulnerable street users through techniques like narrower lanes, on-street parking, and shared spaces. The challenges ahead include overcoming cultural and professional norms focused on vehicle movement and changing misconceptions about liability and legislation.

The financial accounts for 2009/2010 are also included. The Chair emphasizes that promoting cycling and active travel requires sustained long-term efforts but can provide social, environmental, and economic benefits for Scotland.
This document provides 8 cycling-themed lesson plans that cover all areas of the Scottish curriculum. Each lesson is designed to get students active through cycling while teaching curriculum topics. The lessons include organizing a bike breakfast, writing cycling poems, comparing bike prices online, learning about famous cyclists, and going on a biodiversity bike ride. The goal is to promote cycling as part of students' education and encourage a cycling culture at school.
Cycling provides opportunities for schools to deliver educational outcomes across the curriculum through active travel, cycle sport, and recreational cycling. Activities range from cycling to school and learning road safety to competitive racing and mountain biking. Qualifications are available for coaches, cycle trainers, ride leaders, and more to support cycling programs. Programs like Bike Club, Go Ride, and Go Mountain Bike provide funding and training to encourage cycling among youth.
Cycling Scotland's engineering consultancy Transport Planning and Engineering (TP&E) is pleased that their partnership with South Ayrshire Council has resulted in the council winning a national transport award for their work improving walking and cycling routes. South Ayrshire Council was recognized for their innovative projects that have created an extensive network of cycle and walking paths. This award highlights the dedication of council staff involved in promoting more sustainable transport.
The document summarizes cycling news and events in Scotland. A new campaign called Cycle Friendly Zones has launched around schools in 5 local authority areas to encourage more children to cycle to school. The campaign uses outdoor advertising and a cycle to school day during Bike Week to spread awareness. Cycling Scotland's stunt team will visit schools. Eleven schools have received the Cycle Friendly Schools award for inspiring cycling. Events happening during Bike Week from June 13-21 include cycle rides and hundreds of people have been trained to assess schools for the award.
This document discusses Cycling Scotland's freshnlo Pedal for Scotland event. It announces two new rides being added in 2010 - a family ride and a sportive ride. The event aims to encourage cycling at all levels and abilities. It also discusses campaigns to promote safe cycling to school.
This year's Cycling Scotland annual conference will partner with Cycle Nation to focus on cycling strategy, policy, events, and active living. It will take place over two days in Edinburgh on November 5th and 6th. The conference aims to bring cycling professionals, campaigners, volunteers, and politicians together to share ideas on developing and promoting cycling in Scotland. Additionally, the Scottish government published the new Cycling Action Plan for Scotland and announced new funding for infrastructure, children's cycle training, and employer grants to encourage more cycling.
The document summarizes recent developments in cycling in Scotland, including:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Over the years Sustrans has developed guidelines for the design and construction of off road cycle ways.
These tend to be philosophical as well as specifications.
The greenway guide was developed primarily to be used by partners on the connect 2 projects although it is fully relevant to any other greenway project. The guide covers technical aspects such as designing of gradients etc and also talks about wider aspects such as monitoring and land arrangements.
The NCN guidelines in muchly superseded by the likes of cycling by design it was written to provide a standard for the development of the NCN and still has uses in the standards to be used for NCN routes.
Making ways for the bicycle is the early Sustrans design and construction guidance and has useful information on path construction techniques.

Capture Data on Flip chart from the homework question:
The Devon Way is a core path which follows the former railway line between Alloa
and Dollar. It is 10k long and passes through the communities of Alloa, Sauchie,
Fishcross, Marchglen, Devonside, Tillicoultry and Dollar.
It's southern end links with the newly opened Alloa Railway Station and with the
National Cycle Route, which also forms a part of the Round the Forth route.
It also provides access to the newly opened Clackmannan Community Health
Centre and to shops and other facilities in Alloa town centre and passes close to a
number of primary schools and horse livery yards.
Because of these links, the Devon Way has great potential for use in active travel,
for use by tourists visiting the area and for recreation.
Take a step back and ask why complete a demonstration project?
The main driver for the development of a site was the production of CAPS and the introduction of a facility to share good practice in one venue due to the varying projects throughout Scotland.
Cycling Scotland was also used to queries in various areas including shared use paths, junctions, access control and contra flow lanes.
A number of years prior to CAPS we had looked at developing demo sites to promote good practice and the foundations were laid.
What was the next step?
WHY??
Cycle action plan for Scotland
Professionals agreed if we have money the following should gain the most investment – On Road – Off Road
Add to that the questionnaires filled in stated segregation from traffic
Later we will look at what that actually means as people can not see reducing cars may help them
Inception Report developed prior to final version of CAPS and therefore slightly different from the ones listed above. Do not wish to go over this in great detail but I have a copy of the inception report here if you wish to look through.
Expanding on Action 2, cycling scotland has set in motion the ability to offer mcm at various locations:
Specific to councils in their area
Universities
Demo Projects
Could not do it ourselves
Meeting was held between paths for all and Cycling Scotland to discuss future development and at this time it was agreed the Devon Way and Clacks could be a partner.
Sustrans have provided numerous projects and are funders.
Where are we now:
Well we have progressed the above in the following ways:
Inception – complete Report Produced
Public Questionnaire – Requires to be completed
Design Report – will be a live document
Design – Ongoing
Construction – Programmed for Dec/Jan
Maintenance –
Training – well here we are for the first of a series of courses over the next three years
What should a demo site criteria be?
Accessible - Train Station – Off Road
Typical Situation – Old Railway Line and Crossings and Access control issues It should reflect the vastly different environments encountered across Scotland so that access practitioners and managers
Live – The path is in use today
Demonstrate various good practice examples
Commitment from CS, Sus, PfA and CC
