cyclestreets: Cycle Routing and Data for Cycling Advocacy
An interface to the cycle routing/data services provided by ‘CycleStreets’, a not-for-profit social enterprise and advocacy organisation. The application programming interfaces (APIs) provided by ‘CycleStreets’ are documented at (https://www.cyclestreets.net/api/). The focus of this package is the journey planning API, which aims to emulate the routes taken by a knowledgeable cyclist. An innovative feature of the routing service of its provision of fastest, quietest and balanced profiles. These represent routes taken to minimise time, avoid traffic and compromise between the two, respectively.

pct
By: Robin Lovelace, Layik Hama
The goal of pct is to increase the accessibility and reproducibility of the data produced by the Propensity to Cycle Tool (PCT), a research project and web application hosted at www.pct.bike. For an overview of the data provided by the PCT, clicking on the previous link and trying it out is a great place to start. An academic paper on the PCT provides detail on the motivations for and methods underlying the project.

stplanr
By: Robin Lovelace
stplanr is a package for sustainable transport planning with R. It provides functions for solving common problems in transport planning and modelling, such as how to best get from point A to point B. The overall aim is to provide a reproducible, transparent and accessible toolkit to help people better understand transport systems and inform policy, as outlined in a paper about the package, and the potential for open-source software in transport planning in general.
