The 2014 workshop took the opportunity of being down
under to hear what new developments in terms of measuring walking are taking
place in Australia and New Zealand. A particular interest was on the issue of
how data changes perceptions and outcomes.
A draft for an international
standard about the treatment of walking travel surveys was presented and
discussed – building on results of earlier pre-conference workshops. Further
presentations and debates included a report about travel survey data from New
South Wales, an emphasis on the importance of data for health measures, a
walkability and accessibility rating and a critical view on manual pedestrian
counts (see program). All presentations are downloadable below, just
click on the names.
