Description
Tools for Future-Proof Transport Planning: Open Source, Open Access, Reproducible and Collaborative | Robin Lovelace
Transport planning has always been a complex and multi-disciplinary enterprise requiring wide-ranging skills and methods. Proliferating data sources, tools and policy demands --- including fast and fair decarbonisation and the need to make active travel the natural choice for everyday trips in cities worldwide --- has increased the demands on transport planners and researchers in the field. With burgeoning pressures and options, how to decide what to do? This talk will make the case that reproducible research and open tools are essential ingredients for effective transport planning in the 21st century. It will map out the landscape of open tools for transport planning, distinguish between open source and open access models, and demonstrate how reproduc
