Upcoming webinar
‘Cyclability’ and ‘Cyclists Route Choice’ in Greater London
FREE Webinar: Thursday 2 October 2025
10.00-11.00 BST / 11.00-12.00 CEST
Join us for this engaging webinar with speakers from Transport for London (TfL). This session is chaired by Siamak Khorgami (AECOM) and moderated by Ola Faleti (Costain), both from the Transport and Mobility Forum.
Cyclability in Greater London
Written by: Rachel Aldred, David Fevyer, Jamie Furlong
Presenter: Rachel Aldred
This talk presents Fevyer et al’s work, developing and applying a measure of the local cycling environment across Greater London (‘cyclability’), which began as part of a project funded by TfL. The talk summarises how the measure incorporates spatial data such road types, cycle infrastructure, greenspace, and access to amenities and services. The presentation then maps the subsequent scores for cyclability and its dimensions across Greater London postcodes, visualising differences and disparities. Finally, results from analysis of survey data are presented, showing how cycling participation and perceptions of the cycling environment are related to the cyclability measure.
Study of Cycling Route Choice in London
Written by: Laura Putt (TfL), Rob Forrest (TfL), Sam Larkin (TfL), Callum Hale (TfL), Siamak Khorgami (AECOM), Aled Davies (AECOM), Suzie Boddy (AECOM), Ivelin Tsonev (AECOM)
Presenter: Laura Putt (TfL) and Callum Hale (TfL)
Cyclists’ route choices have been captured in TfL’s strategic models through the cycling assignment model (Cynemon), which was first developed in 2016. Much has changed since then including changes to behaviour post-covid and improvements in cycling infrastructure. TfL, in partnership with AECOM, undertook a unique study in three phases to revisit the route choice model as well as the assignment algorithm to represent more recent cycling route choice behaviour and capture choices by different demographic groups. This presentation will discuss the key findings of the following phases:
-
Data collection and processing
-
Estimation of a route choice model and
-
Implementation in Cynemon (Cycling Network Model for London).

Derek HaldenDHC Loop Connections United Kingdom
|
Derek Halden (UK) specialises in planning accessibility and connections to enable joint planning of the factors that drive travel demand together with transport supply. The global pandemic has changed people, places and transport making accessibility planning even more important than prior to the pandemic. I am working with AET to help develop the debate about these new challenges and responses, taking transport planning beyond traditional boundaries to further develop accessibility and connectivity planning. |  |

James Odeck (NO) is a professor of transport economics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (Trondheim) and a senior research economist at the Norwegian Public Roads Administration (NPRA). He specializes in applied transport economics and efficiency & productivity measurements. His research in transportation covers impact assessment and benefits cost analyses, monetary valuation of impacts, ex-post studies and cost overruns, and elasticity of transport demand. Odeck has published widely in re-known transportation journals such as Transportation Research Part A, Transportation, Transport policy, and Transport Reviews. The transportation sector is one of the public sectors with ongoing new developments, e.g., digitalization, automation, and a shift from fossil fuel to renewable energy. I am happy to work with AET to develop a platform for debating these new developments and other emerging transportation issues. Hopefully, the Webinar series will help AET take the leading role in transport debates internationally. |
