Project Description
The Urban Big Data Centre (UBDC), University of Glasgow promotes the use of big and novel data for innovative research, with the aim of improving social, economic and environmental well-being in our cities.
This project will develop a user-friendly web interface (i.e. a web dashboard) which streamlines the use of accessibility measures into local city and transport planning and policy design.
This resource seeks to maximise the value of modelled travel times and accessibility, originally developed for academic research at the UBDC. This tool will be tailored for city and transport planners, enabling more evidence-based and efficient decision-making by minimising technical and computational challenges. Specfically, the tool will enable any city and transport planner to interactively visualise, explore, and download the precomputed data.
This web tool will be publicly available online and will benefit both rural and urban areas. This means that the most under-sourced city and transport planning bodies will see important benefits.

Please note this opportunity has been advertised across multiple Doctoral Training Partnerships (DTPs) by the lead DTP – SGSSS.
