A new #RAPKnowledgeLive session is coming!

Join us for the next #RAPKnowledgeLive session to explore how bicycle and pedestrian flow data can transform road safety and mobility planning. Flow data provides a powerful foundation for understanding where people walk and cycle, helping cities design safer, more efficient, and more comfortable networks.

This session will showcase practical ways to integrate flow data into safety assessments, policy, and design, with examples from cities like Barcelona and others.

One highlighted approach will be Don Quixote (DQ) flows — a predictive model developed to estimate bicycle and pedestrian movements across entire networks. Coordinated by Roxy Tacq, DQ flows combine open geographic data with behavioural modelling to help governments worldwide make smarter, data-driven decisions.

What you can learn….

• Discover how going beyond 75% of travel maps can unlock new insights for safer, more efficient cycling infrastructure.
• We’ll explore how flow estimates, based on a prediction model, classify network usage and how this data, combined with flow counts, can provide numerical values to guide decision-making.
• Learn how these insights can refine facility assessments, identify key intersections, and prioritize improvements—illustrated with real-world examples, including projects in Barcelona.
