Item Public services location models(2015) Romanillos Arroyo, Gustavo; Salas Olmedo, MarÃa Henar; GarcÃa Palomares, Juan Carlos; Gutiérrez Puebla, JavierThis document describes the research developed in the INSIGHT project sub-work package WP4.4 Public Services Models, which is framed in the WP4 Theoretical Modelling work package. WP4 also includes research on retail models, housing models and housing-retail-public services interaction models. In the landscape left by the economic crisis, Public Services policies are extremely important but at the same time are dramatically limited. On the one hand, significant negative socio-demographic changes and imbalances, such as the increasing social segregation or the rising economic inequality, must be tackled through policies oriented to fostering public services or improving the existing ones. On the other hand, the economic decline has reduced public resources limiting the launching of these new services and affecting the delivery of the existing ones. In this scenario, the delivery of efficient Public Services is fundamental and the location of public facilities becomes crucial. The research explores the application of different location models to the four project case studies (Barcelona, London, Madrid and Rotterdam), creating new approaches and methodologies oriented to assisting policy makers and urban planners at some of the Policy Cycle stages (defined in the INSIGHT document D2.2 Urban Planning and governance: current practices and new challenges), such as the analysis of the current scenario, the definition of policies and measures and the evaluation of future scenarios.Item Collaborative mapping of emerging cities in developing countries: the "León Emergente" project(Journal of Maps, 2016) Romanillos Arroyo, GustavoIn the expanding constellation of collaborative map-making initiatives, a growing number of small local projects coexist along with more ambitious and global ones. In developing countries, their existence is not only compatible and complementary, but also necessary, since they meet different needs and pursue diverse and essential objectives, in addition to collecting and sharing geo-located data. In this context, this paper describes the León Emergente initiative, a collaborative living atlas for the city of León in Nicaragua. The results are presented through two main maps that illustrate, for the first time, the formal and informal economic activity of the city as well as the health facilities in relation to the distribution of population across the city. The paper also describes the Leon Emergente online platform and presents a number of online maps that not only represent, but also collect data on different urban aspects and dynamics.Item The digital footprint of the cycling city GPS cycle routes visualization and analysis(2019) Romanillos Arroyo, Gustavo; Gutiérrez Puebla, Javier; LamÃquiz Daudén, PatxiThis famous quote by the American cyclist John Howard (1987) highlights an important fact for this thesis: cycling mobility is extraordinarily complex because the human engines that the quote refers to are affected by a wide range of physical, social, environmental and psychological factors. This is the reason why cycling mobility is being currently analysed from multiple perspectives by researchers from many different disciplines. In addition, the fact that research production on cycling mobility has grown exponentially over the last years, also evidences the extraordinary interests of this field of research. However, there are some relevant aspects of cycling mobility that still remain relatively underexplored, such as its spatial dimension, which is the main focus of interest of this research. This thesis essentially explores cycling mobility across the city, and its main objective is to collect, visualise, analyse and model cyclists’ routes and the distribution of cycling flow across the urban street network,with the aim of reaching a better understanding of cyclists’ behaviour and cycling mobility patterns in cities. The research also aimed at analysing cyclists’ operating speeds, estimating cycling travel times and performing a comparative analysis of cycling accessibility in relation to other transport modes. Finally, it aimed at predicting the values of cycling travel times and cycling accessibility for future scenarios, derived from the implementation of specific policies or the construction of particular infrastructure...Item Cómo aplicar big data en la planificación del transporte urbano: El uso de datos de telefonÃa móvil en el análisis de la movilidad(2019) Gutiérrez Puebla, Javier; BenÃtez, Carolina; Leaño, Juan Manuel; GarcÃa Palomares, Juan Carlos; Condeço Melhorado, Ana Margarida; Mojica, Carlos; Scholl, Lynn; Vera, Felipe; Adler, Verónica; Moya Gómez, Borja; Romanillos Arroyo, Gustavo; BenÃtez, CarolinaLa presente nota técnica explica de qué manera el análisis de grandes volúmenes de datos de la telefonÃa móvil puede aplicarse a la planificación del transporte y la infraestructura urbana. La actividad de los usuarios permite conocer su huella digital y, por lo tanto, entender sus trayectorias espacio temporales de manera desagregada y extrapolada, estableciendo matrices de origen destino. La producción de grandes volúmenes de datos masivos, Big Data, abre interesantes posibilidades para entender los flujos de movilidad de nuestras ciudades de la región y su complementariedad con los métodos tradicionales de recolección de datos, como los son las encuestas de movilidad domiciliarias de origen destino de viajes, permitiendo disponer de información siempre actualizada y en menor tiempo. La nota técnica agrupa y sistematiza los conocimientos generados por especialistas e investigadores de distintos paÃses del mundo; y analiza distintos casos de éxito realizados de implementación de dicha metodologÃa en distintas ciudades latinoamericanas y en otros ámbitos internacionales, donde se indica cómo se han obtenido esas matrices de viajes y cuáles han sido sus aplicaciones.Item Madrid cycle track: visualizing the cyclable city(Journal of Maps, 2015) Romanillos Arroyo, Gustavo; Zaltz Austwick, MartinMaps are currently experiencing a paradigm shift from static representations to dynamic platforms that capture, visualize and analyse new data, bringing different possibilities for exploration and research. The first objective of this paper is to present a map that illustrates, for the first time, the real flow of casual cyclists and bike messengers in the city of Madrid. The second objective is to describe the development and results of the Madrid Cycle Track initiative, an online platform launched with the aim of collecting cycling routes and other information from volunteers. In the framework of this initiative, different online maps are presented and their functionalities described. Finally, a supplemental video visualizes the cyclist flow over the course of a day.Item Cyclists do better: analyzing urban cycling operating speeds and accessibility(International Journal of Sustainable Transportation, 2019) Romanillos Arroyo, Gustavo; Gutiérrez Puebla, JavierGiven the growing interest in promoting more sustainable urban transport, over the past years, many researchers have analyzed cycling mobility from different perspectives. However, some important aspects remain underexplored. One of them is the study of cycling speeds. The first goal of this research is to analyze the impact of a wide range of factor on cyclists’ speeds. Based on the examination of thousands of GPS routes, the investigation conducts diverse OLS regressions in order to analyze cyclists’ speed according to the diverse local factors that affect cyclists along their journey, such as the slope, the existence – and type – of bike infrastructures, the average traffic speed or the density of traffic lights or intersections. Cycling speed is also analyzed according to cyclists’ gender or age, the purpose of the journey, or even the weather conditions. The research includes the analysis of regular cyclists’ trips, as well as the analysis of bike-messengers’ routes. The results obtained shed light on the influence of these factors on cyclists’ speed by quantifying their specific impact, and diverse models predict cyclists’ travel times in the current scenario but also in future ones that may correspond to the implementation of new infrastructure or policies. In addition, the models allowed us to pursue the second goal of this study: to conduct a comparative analysis of accessibility for different transport modes, and then evaluate the competitiveness between them. The results evidence that cycling is not only a sustainable transport mode, but the most competitive for small-medium distances.Item Big Data and cycling(Transport Reviews, 2015) Zaltz-Austwick, Martin; Ettema, Dick; Kruijf, Joost De; Romanillos Arroyo, GustavoBig Data has begun to create significant impacts in urban and transport planning. This paper covers the explosion in data-driven research on cycling, most of which has occurred in the last ten years. We review the techniques, objectives and findings of a growing number of studies we have classified into three groups according to the nature of the data they are based on: GPS data (spatio-temporal data collected using the global positioning system (GPS)), live point data and journey data. We discuss the movement from small-scale GPS studies to the ‘Big GPS’ data sets held by fitness and leisure apps or specific cycling initiatives, the impact of Bike Share Programmes (BSP) on the availability of timely point data and the potential of historical journey data for trend analysis and pattern recognition. We conclude by pointing towards the possible new insights through combining these data sets with each other – and with more conventional health, socio-demographic or transport data.Item Accessibility to schools: spatial and social imbalances and the impact of population density in four European cities(Journal of urban planning and development, 2018) Romanillos Arroyo, Gustavo; GarcÃa Palomares, Juan Carlos; American Society of Civil EngineersOn the particular landscape left by the economic crisis in many European cities, the role of public services has become crucial and it is essential to analyze them when defining efficient policies aimed at adjusting resources to minimize social impact. The central goal of this research is to evaluate existing accessibility to public facilities in relation to the amount of resources deployed and their location, with a special focus on detecting potential social inequalities and spatial imbalances. The study focuses on the analysis of primary education centers in Barcelona, London, Madrid, and Rotterdam. The results reveal significant differences among the four cities. The analyses show better accessibility to public schools for the most vulnerable population, although a substantial imbalance is exposed when considering overall accessibility, which includes private schools. Moreover, the study reveals significant spatial imbalances and the impact of population density. Finally, existing accessibility to public schools is evaluated according to the amount of resources deployed and how optimized those resources are at the location.Item Urban planning and governance: current practices and new challenges(2014) Romanillos Arroyo, Gustavo; Alonso Ramos, Andrea; Wang, YangINSIGHT (Innovative Policy Modelling and Governance Tools for Sustainable Post-Crisis Urban Development) is a research project funded under the ICT Theme of the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme.
