Cycling and ITS implementation in WithernseaCIE2019
This document discusses plans to implement cycling infrastructure and intelligent transport systems (ITS) in Withernsea, England. It begins by introducing Andy Mayo and his company, Local Transport Projects, which specializes in cycling and transport planning. It then provides examples of ITS technologies that could encourage cycling, such as bike rental apps, routing apps, and signals that inform cyclists of upcoming traffic changes. The document analyzes how ITS could help address barriers to cycling in Withernsea, a small coastal town, by providing bike access, routing guidance, and usage data. It argues ITS implementation in Withernsea could serve as a case study for encouraging cycling in other rural areas.
Pentaho World 2018: Network Rail: Predicting the Result of Incidents with Big...Caio Moreno
Network Rail owns and operates the entire rail infrastructure in the UK; their challenge is to keep all the trains running on time and to maximize the services provided by the rail providers that run on its infrastructure. Network Rail needed to predict the results of train delay incidents and how to best deal with them to make sure the service runs smoothly. With the UK rail network being the busiest and oldest in the world, this is no easy task and relies on the power of big data and data science!

The document discusses urban planning for bicycles in several cities. It examines case studies of bicycle infrastructure planning and policies in Abu Dhabi, Taiwan, Copenhagen, the Netherlands, Portland, and at the Port of Portland. The case studies describe factors considered for bicycle route selection such as congestion, landmarks, and business areas. They also outline policies that promote bicycling through dedicated bicycle infrastructure, reducing automobile traffic, and connecting bike routes.
The South East of Scotland Transport Partnership is launching a regional e-bike program; GO e-Bike with the aim of increasing usage and awareness of power assisted cycling across the South East of Scotland and beyond. GO e-Bikes launches with 5 different projects in St. Andrew’s, Buckhaven, West Lothian and Falkirk and will also be encouraging employers to get involved with a ‘Try a GO e-Bike Roadshow’. GO e-Bike aims to promote a healthier more active population, reduce inequalities in our communities and improve our environment.
Economic Benefits of Cycling InfrastructureJumpingJaq
This document summarizes an economic analysis conducted by the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads to assess the benefits of investing in cycling infrastructure across Queensland. The analysis found that completing the state's highest priority cycling routes could yield nearly $5 in economic benefits for every $1 invested. Three funding scenarios were modeled, and Scenario 2, which focused on completing the highest priority routes and separating 20% more routes, was found to have the strongest economic returns with a benefit-cost ratio above 2.0. The analysis supports allocating additional funding to cycling infrastructure, with a focus on separated routes, to maximize the economic and mobility benefits.

Aspirational future cycle network 2036
7. Bristol’s 2019 Transport Strategy included
an aspirational future cycle network. This
described a comprehensive network of
“Freeways” and “Quietways”
What we see on the ground today is a
piecemeal patchwork that is not meeting
the needs of Bike Commuters with 60%
expressing dissatisfaction*.

Benefits
Cycling in Bristol already takes up to 28,000
cars* off the road. Increasing this number will
reduce congestion on our roads further.
More people cycling improves air quality
leading to reductions in NOx and particulates.
