Background
• Travel
is
vital
• Many
different
factors
influence
our
choice
of
method
of
travel
• Travel
choice
is
important
– CO2
emissions
– Conges^on
– Cost
/
Time
– Availability
– Infrastructure
development
• This
analysis
is
possible
due
to
big
data
analysis
and
2011
Census
"High
Five
Interchange".

Geodemographics
• Classifica^on
of
people
by
where
they
live
• 2001
OAC
and
2011
OAC
started
development
of
open
geodemographics
• Openness
allows
development
of
targeted
geodemographics
and
applying
geodemographcis
to
custom
data
sets:
– Internet
(Riddlesden
and
Singleton,
2014)
– Retail
(Dolega
and
Singleton,
2014)
– Consumer
Data
(many
examples)
– Transport

Findings
• Income
(based
on
NS-‐SeC)
is
important
factor
• As
is
gender
(related
to
income)
• Both
related
to
SES,
but
very
limited
understanding
of
the
mechanisms
behind
SES
• Classifica^on
–
speckly,
so
perhaps
transport
has
limited
impact
on
loca^on?
What
the
results
are
useful
for
• Understanding
transport
use
and
access
• Do
the
two
factors
match?
• Jus^fica^on
for
development
of
new
sta^ons
/
services
• Applica^on
could
be
applied
to
more
refined
data
(e.g.
^cket
sales,
usage
surveys,
etc.)
s^ll
using
the
rou^ng
element

Future
developments
• Transport
specific
geodemographic
could
be
developed
• Extra
processing
power
allows
na^onal
analysis
of
transport
&
rou^ng
to
be
done
