COMMENDED: National Propensity to Cycle Tool - Centre for Diet and Activity Research, MRC Epidemiology Unit
The National Propensity to Cycle Tool (NPCT) is being developed as part of a DfT funded study. It will provide an evidence based approach to support planners deciding where to prioritise cycling spend. The NPCT is open source and implemented in the statistical programme language R. In Stage 1 of the project, in just 6 months, an advanced prototype based on four cities has been developed (Coventry, Leeds, Manchester, and Norwich). In Stage 2 of the project will develop a full national model.

Orca – new Cycle Lane Separator - Rediweld Traffic Products
For over 20 years Rediweld has been developing traffic products made from recycled materials. Light segregation is just one way of improving safety for cyclists and reducing accidents. It requires physical objects intermittently placed along the inside of a cycle lane marking, to give a higher degree of separation. The principle being that the cyclists are protected within a cycle lane but not trapped. This has been achieved with a concave face on the cycle lane side, to guide the cyclist back into the cycle lane and so reduce the risk of injury.
