The challenge for movement and place professionals is to help make viable plans today for an uncertain tomorrow. Movement, living, working and leisure patterns are morphing faster than ever before on the back of rapid technological advances and social change. How can we model today for... continue
Transport modelling has always attracted professionals from a broad church. I have worked with many a civil engineer, in fact I am one myself, and over the years my colleagues, students and mentors have included geographers, mathematicians, physicists and social scientists. I even once worked with... continue
3D visualisation – as its name suggests – is a type of computer animation used for developing... continue
Units such as the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA) at the Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment, University College London, and the Senseable Cities Lab at Massachussetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Boston, USA, are pioneering smart cities research, drawing on cutting edge... continue
A recent report, Machine-to-Machine Communications: Connecting billions of devices, from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), outlines the potential impact of machine-to-machine communication (M2M) and the Internet of Things. According to Rudolf Van der Berg of the... continue
From data that is hard won, and expensive to obtain, we are on the brink of creating a vast pool of information sources and models for use in scenarios where existing tools may be ineffective and inflexible as well as costly. For government and business, the benefits are potentially huge –... continue
Cameras are these days watching everywhere: and what they see can increasingly become a major management tool. The subjects ‘under surveillance’ can be human – or mechanical. Early applications have involved vehicle and automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) allowing traffic... continue
Both transport and urban planning require broad ranging consideration in their own right.... continue
In austere times, it has been vital to reduce the costs of transportation studies by making more use of existing data sets and developing methodologies that offer added value. However, traffic surveys remain a key component of the planning and appraisal process. Clients want more for their money,... continue
When the data.gov.uk website launched in January 2010 I did not even notice, to be honest. A failure on my part as a data ‘geek’, I admit. However, in April 2010, following a more trumpeted arrival (The Guardian’s ‘free our data’ campaign, for example), I was the... continue
The digital and data revolution is having a big impact on the wide range of professionals – and communities – involved in place and movement. Scenario testing tools and 'games', 3D visualisation, Building Information Modelling (BIM) systems, real time data tracking and 4D... continue
All three junctions were heavily congested in both peaks and lie on a main commuter route for the area. The locality of a large school and its associated morning drop-off points were major factors contributing to a morning queue regularly... continue
Work undertaken at Space Syntax in recent years has identified many strong connections between urban design and property value. We have found strong correlations between the way space is planned and the economic impact that it has, for example on property taxation and rental income. Good urban... continue
Traditions of high quality engineering could, it can be argued, be more concerned with function than form. The result, in many cases, is well-engineered infrastructure that often fails to consider the wider implications of how it contributes to the aesthetic environment and the wider public... continue
A common theme among many futuristic views of our personal mobility is the way in which data will be used to make transportation smarter. But do we all agree what ‘smarter’ actually means? For myself, the real significance of smarter transport is in changing the relationships between... continue
