&lt;h2 id="abstract">Abstract&lt;/h2>
&lt;p>This talk presents data-driven approaches for modelling multi-modal traffic interactions, casualties, and safety risk for people walking and cycling, with the aim of informing government guidance on critical safety issues for walking, wheeling, and cycling. The presentation will cover: data engineering pipelines designed to ingest large volumes of pedestrian and cycle count data; the integration of casualty and traffic data to characterise risk; and open-source tools and reproducible methods used to build models capable of informing evidence-based policy and design guidance. The work draws on and extends existing transport modelling frameworks and speaks to the broader challenge of making active travel the natural choice for short trips in UK cities and towns.&lt;/p>

&lt;p>The Mobile Tartu Conference focuses on human mobility studies for resilient, just, and sustainable societies, using primarily digital traces from mobile big data. At the Jubilee Conference, we reflect on the evolution of mobility studies over the past two decades and how this has influenced the need to consider mobility data justice in research and governance. Our confirmed keynote speakers include Prof. Kay W. Axhausen (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) and Prof. Mimi Sheller (Worcester Polytechnic Institute, USA).&lt;/p>
&lt;p>The special themes of the jubilee Mobile Tartu 2026 include:&lt;/p>
&lt;ul>
&lt;li>Activity space studies informing just and sustainable societies&lt;/li>
&lt;li>Multilocal living and cross-border interactions in digital transition&lt;/li>
&lt;li>Mobility data justice in research and governance&lt;/li>
&lt;/ul>
&lt;p>The conference also features panel discussions, paper sessions (including NECTAR and Cycle4Climate sessions), and a rich social programme with vibrant discussions on the conceptual, methodological, and empirical dimensions of measuring human mobility using mobile big data.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>In collaboration with the EIT Urban Mobility Doctoral Training Network and the Estonian Doctoral School, the conference also includes a PhD School, comprising lectures and hands-on workshops on mobile big data applications for understanding human mobility. The workshops are led by Andres Sevtsuk (MIT), Robin Lovelace (University of Leeds), Francisco Rowe (University of Liverpool), and Anto Aasa (University of Tartu).&lt;/p>
&lt;p>Abstract submission deadline: 16 January 2026&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Travel Planning Co-ordinator Event Leeds</title><link>https://robinlovelace.net/old-site/talk/travel-planning-co-ordinator-event-leeds/</link><pubDate>Wed, 06 May 2026 10:00:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://robinlovelace.net/old-site/talk/travel-planning-co-ordinator-event-leeds/</guid><description>&lt;p>I&amp;rsquo;ll be attending this free networking event for travel plan coordinators in Leeds on 6 May 2026.&lt;/p>

&lt;/ul>
&lt;p>I plan to discuss my ongoing work with Active Travel England, particularly the update to evidence on &amp;ldquo;critical issues&amp;rdquo; for walking, wheeling, and cycling. This involves a move towards identifying and remediating dangerous infrastructure rather than just promoting best practice. I am also developing methods to estimate baseline traffic levels for all modes at the road segment level, a project that is currently focused on the West Midlands but has national scalability.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Modelling active travel with efficient, future-proof tools</title><link>https://robinlovelace.net/old-site/talk/modelling-active-travel-with-efficient-future-proof-tools/</link><pubDate>Tue, 18 Nov 2025 10:05:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://robinlovelace.net/old-site/talk/modelling-active-travel-with-efficient-future-proof-tools/</guid><description/></item><item><title>Building Capacity for Data-Driven Urban Mobility</title><link>https://robinlovelace.net/old-site/talk/building-capacity-for-data-driven-urban-mobility/</link><pubDate>Tue, 04 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://robinlovelace.net/old-site/talk/building-capacity-for-data-driven-urban-mobility/</guid><description>&lt;p>This keynote outlines practical steps to enable data-driven decision-making in transport using open and reproducible workflows, with examples from communities of practice and national-level data integration.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>New tools for internationally-scalable future-proof transport planning</title><link>https://robinlovelace.net/old-site/talk/new-tools-for-internationally-scalable-future-proof-transport-planning/</link><pubDate>Wed, 22 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://robinlovelace.net/old-site/talk/new-tools-for-internationally-scalable-future-proof-transport-planning/</guid><description>&lt;p>This talk highlights scalable, open transport planning tools and opportunities to align with GREENTRAVEL, including reproducible research practices and international portability.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Data Science for Transport Planning: 2 day course</title><link>https://robinlovelace.net/old-site/talk/data-science-for-transport-planning-2-day-course/</link><pubDate>Thu, 18 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://robinlovelace.net/old-site/talk/data-science-for-transport-planning-2-day-course/</guid><description>&lt;!-- https://store.leeds.ac.uk/product-catalogue/environment/transport-studies/short-courses/0925dstp2-data-science-for-transport-planning -->

The abstract is titled &amp;ldquo;Integrating diverse data sources to support future-proof transport modelling&amp;rdquo; and discusses the limitations of traditional transport models that rely on limited input datasets, leading to biases and blind-spots in model outputs.
The presentation highlights a case study of the Network Planning Tool for Scotland (NPT), which integrates multiple datasets to support more evidence-based and data-driven transport strategies.&lt;/p>

Just signed-up to the #UTSG2025 conference in Dublin, 25th-27th June. Looking forward to presenting our work on integrating multiple network datasets for the Network Planning Tool, funded by Transport Scotland and developed in collaboration with Sustrans. This is the first time that cycling Level of Service (LoS) has been calculated for every road and presented alongside estimates of cycling potential nationwide anywhere, to the best of my knowledge. The tool is open source and will be publicly available soon. See you there! #NPT #geocompx

&lt;p>ATIP is an open source web app initially developed in early 2023 to enable local transport
planners to document, store and share geographic data on planned interventions. As of May
2023 ATIP provides an intuitive interface to quickly sketch the location of a wide range of
interventions including:&lt;/p>
&lt;ul>
&lt;li>Linear infrastructure, including new routes, pavement widening and road diets projects&lt;/li>
&lt;li>Crossings, including new pelican, zebra and other types of crossings&lt;/li>
&lt;li>Area-wide traffic management schemes, including modal filters and boundaries&lt;/li>
&lt;/ul>
&lt;p>Users can also add describe their planned schemes with free test or ATE&amp;rsquo;s taxonomy (in
progress). ATIP is designed for ease-of-use. It makes drawing lines and polygons snapped to
existing streets and paths easy with &amp;lsquo;route snapper&amp;rsquo; functionality, a world first for polygons.
The talk will outline the thinking behind ATIP, how it&amp;rsquo;s been used in ATE to collect, for the first
time, detailed geographic data on schemes, and the roadmap towards ATIP becoming a one
stop shop for active travel infrastructure nationwide. ATIP. Finally, the talk will cover the
technology powering ATIP, including Svelte, MapLibre GL, Rust, WebAssembly, and
OpenStreetMap and how to harness these tools for other projects.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Open source software and open data in transport research, planning and modelling</title><link>https://robinlovelace.net/old-site/talk/open-source-software-and-open-data-in-transport-research-planning-and-modelling/</link><pubDate>Thu, 26 Jan 2023 11:00:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://robinlovelace.net/old-site/talk/open-source-software-and-open-data-in-transport-research-planning-and-modelling/</guid><description>&lt;h1 id="abstract">Abstract&lt;/h1>
&lt;p>This talk will discuss the impacts of making transport models, and the
data and tools for decision-making in participatory democracies using
open source, accessible, and transparent methods. It will build on
recent research into the rapid growth of &lt;a href="https://doi.org/10.1007/s10109-020-00342-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">open source software&lt;/a> and &lt;a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0967070X19302781" target="_blank" rel="noopener">open access and participatory transport models&lt;/a>that go beyond technologies developed in the 20th Century, using cutting-edge and community-built software to better meet the needs of the 21st.  A/B Street (&lt;a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fabstreet.org%2F&amp;amp;data=05%7C01%7CR.Lovelace%40leeds.ac.uk%7C674bac2463314ae98d8008daf94d9423%7Cbdeaeda8c81d45ce863e5232a535b7cb%7C1%7C0%7C638096408853052543%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;amp;sdata=tDiCbyiysgPT%2FUd5pjL65rSxpcsvsbI58C4U1Hkvo4U%3D&amp;amp;reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">abstreet.org&lt;/a>)
is an open-source multi-modal traffic simulator designed for the
general public to explore low-cost approaches for reducing motor vehicle
use. Starting from OpenStreetMap data and a variety of travel demand
sources, people using A/B Street can modify roads (like transforming
street parking into bike- and bus-only lanes) and intersections (traffic
signal timing). Using built-in elevation data, visualizations about
individual trips and aggregate groups, and measurements of impact on
travel time and risk exposure, interested citizens can present their
idea to a city council for consideration. There are also
non-simulation-based tools for analyzing 15-minute neighbourhood
accessibility and designing low-traffic neighbourhoods. This talk will
first briefly introduce the project and some of the technical aspects.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Keynote Speech: Safe routes to school: finding gaps in quiet networks to prioritise investment in active travel infrastructure</title><link>https://robinlovelace.net/old-site/talk/keynote-speech-safe-routes-to-school-finding-gaps-in-quiet-networks-to-prioritise-investment-in-active-travel-infrastructure/</link><pubDate>Thu, 03 Nov 2022 15:00:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://robinlovelace.net/old-site/talk/keynote-speech-safe-routes-to-school-finding-gaps-in-quiet-networks-to-prioritise-investment-in-active-travel-infrastructure/</guid><description/></item><item><title>Active Travel Mapathon</title><link>https://robinlovelace.net/old-site/talk/active-travel-mapathon/</link><pubDate>Mon, 31 Oct 2022 10:00:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://robinlovelace.net/old-site/talk/active-travel-mapathon/</guid><description>&lt;p>For the first time an active travel mapathon is being organised in Leeds!&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Open source software and open data in transport research, planning and modelling</title><link>https://robinlovelace.net/old-site/talk/open-source-software-and-open-data-in-transport-research-planning-and-modelling/</link><pubDate>Thu, 22 Sep 2022 11:00:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://robinlovelace.net/old-site/talk/open-source-software-and-open-data-in-transport-research-planning-and-modelling/</guid><description/></item><item><title>Jittering and routing options for converting origin-destination data into route networks</title><link>https://robinlovelace.net/old-site/talk/jittering-and-routing-options-for-converting-origin-destination-data-into-route-networks/</link><pubDate>Fri, 26 Aug 2022 08:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://robinlovelace.net/old-site/talk/jittering-and-routing-options-for-converting-origin-destination-data-into-route-networks/</guid><description/></item><item><title>Keynote: Reproducible Geocomputation for Policy-Relevant Research</title><link>https://robinlovelace.net/old-site/talk/keynote-reproducible-geocomputation-for-policy-relevant-research/</link><pubDate>Wed, 13 Jul 2022 09:00:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://robinlovelace.net/old-site/talk/keynote-reproducible-geocomputation-for-policy-relevant-research/</guid><description/></item><item><title>The power of open, interactive, dynamic and participatory data in transport planning</title><link>https://robinlovelace.net/old-site/talk/the-power-of-open-interactive-dynamic-and-participatory-data-in-transport-planning/</link><pubDate>Tue, 10 May 2022 10:20:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://robinlovelace.net/old-site/talk/the-power-of-open-interactive-dynamic-and-participatory-data-in-transport-planning/</guid><description>&lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet">&lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr">Looking forward to presenting at the &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/SmartTransport_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SmartTransport_&lt;/a> conference, 10th May.

&lt;p>Although not as in-depth as the MUSA Masterclass talk, which has been postponed until April 2021 due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, this talk will give a high-level overview of some of the topics that I will talk about, based on a case study from Leeds, UK, the home of the Institute for Transport Studies.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>Context: the ‘MUSA Masterclass’ is a series of seminars commissioned by the Penn
Institute for Urban Research (&lt;a href="https://penniur.upenn.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Penn IUR&lt;/a>) of
the University of &lt;a href="https://www.upenn.edu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pennsylvania&lt;/a>.&lt;/p>

&lt;/ul>
&lt;p>It’s great being able to link-up over such huge distances with minimal effort, the new technologies like Zoom are impressive.
In the hope that this is of use to others, I put links out to the slides and talk out on social media, as shown in the tweets below.
Enjoy!&lt;/p>

&lt;p>This talk will introduce &lt;a href="https://geocompr.robinlovelace.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&lt;em>Geocomputation with R&lt;/em>&lt;/a>, a new book on R for geographic data.
It will demonstrate how far R has evolved as an environment for geographic data analysis and visualisation, and provide a taster of what is in the book and, more importantly, what is possible when &amp;lsquo;data science&amp;rsquo; and &amp;lsquo;GIS&amp;rsquo; meet.
With new packages such as &lt;strong>sf&lt;/strong>, geographic data analysis has become more accessible.
The talk will show how geographic analysis can bring local examples to life.&lt;/p>
