Case Study: New Zealand

 * Lindsay et al. examine a range of implications of the conversion of proportions of transportation in New Zealand from automobiles to bicycles. The changes to pollution and cardiovascular health were positive, while more cyclists sharing the road with cars was projected to increase traffic deaths. Numerical estimates are provided using demographic and incident frequency parameters from the New Zealand government and the United Nations, which may lend itself well to graphics.
 * Mackenbach et al. also use data collected by government in Wellington, New Zealand to analyze patters in active mobility, finding that higher income workers were more likely to commute via active mobility than middle- to low-income workers. In addition, the type and characteristics of the neighborhood were considered. It is a case study originating (and using data from) New Zealand, but its conclusions would appear to be more broadly applicable.

Case Study: Barcelona

 * Vich et al. recruited students at the University of Barcelona to allow tracking of their walking patterns via their smartphones. Data primarily reflects a younger, more active population as a result. However, the focus of the analysis is establishing a correlation between greenery elements of that area of the city with the areas in which pedestrians spent more time. Among key findings were that large parks and street trees encouraged physical mobility.

Survey of International Responses

 * Pucher et al. groups policy actions into different categories, and provides examples from around the world of the implementation of these and the effects, citing literature. Focuses mainly on Europe. Same author who writes in several of the other useful sources on infrastructure policy (especially for bikes). May need to find others, perhaps using links in the literature survey.

Analysis Tools

 * Walk Score: a company running a web-based system that quantifies the convenience and accessibility of amenities, attractions, and public transportation from a given location. By providing a single number that summarizes all of these aspects, the Walk Score business objective is to offer a straightforward metric for the consideration of a prospective resident. The company has a Wikipedia page, and its proprietary formulas are difficult to find. However, its website provides some details and insight into its operation and goals.
 * Dogan et al. expands upon the Walkscore model to build a more comprehensive urban mobility simulation environment known as Urbano. The Urbano program is designed to include parameters such as the street layout, neighborhood surroundings, and time of day to include two additional outputs: Streetscore and Amenityscore, to predict the overall appeal of active mobility in a given area. Although lacking a comparison of its use to real-world movement data, the program might be useful for prospective residents, urban planners, and businesspeople alike who need to consider the neighborhood foot traffic for their activities, policies, and business prospects.
