Understanding Walking and Cycling: UK Research Project
The Understanding Walking & Cycling research project, is a collaboration between Lancaster University, the University of Leeds and Oxford Brookes University in the UK.The three year study, which commenced in October 2008, investigates travel behavior in relation to short journeys in urban areas in England.
The research has two key aims:
- to develop better understanding of the complex ways in which households and individuals make everyday travel decisions about short trips in urban areas;
- to develop a 'toolkit' that helps planners, policy makers and others concerned with promoting more sustainable travel practices in urban areas to target policies and interventions more effectively.
Interim results were reported in a paper presented at the World Conference on Transport Research in July 2010.
