Dataset description
The principal base case indicator in the dataset is the proportion of the working population in each English Output Area, capable of commuting to work by either walking or cycling. Related indicators such as the distance non-regular cyclists would be physically capable of cycling, and the impacts of hypothetical policies are also included in the dataset. The indicators are modelled using spatial microsimulation. The inputs to the model were secondary data including the 2001 UK Census and the 2008 Health survey for England. Full details of all data which was input and the methodology used are provided in the following thesis: Philips, I., 2014.
