@ianwalker Interestingly I nearly pulled out in front of a moving car as it wasn't high-viz enough. Black car with reflections looked just like the wet road at first glance, only saw it as it got close. Luckily the driver was going slow enough.

GCN have a new video out on the thorny issue of hi-viz for cyclists. Very pleased they asked to interview me for this one youtube.com/watch?v=33GpfTWdk8

Earlier this week I released version 0.5.1 of spyder-notebook, a plugin for Spyder (the scientific Python IDE) which can display and run Jupyter notebooks. More info on GitHub: github.com/spyder-ide/spyder-n

This version is based on the new Jupyter Lab v4 and the even newer Jupyter Notebook v7. The latter was announced in this blog post: blog.jupyter.org/announcing-ju

The new Jupyter Notebook version is a massive improvement for us because it allows us to follow Jupyter more closely. An important benefit for users is that any Jupyter extensions can now be used inside Spyder (fair warning: not all extensions are yet updated to work with Jupyter Lab v4).

Thanks to all the people at Jupyter Notebook and the wider Jupyter ecosystem for their work, the open architecture making it easy to build on their products.

It turns out, since the 1960s, a load of neural networks were trained on the music of the Beatles (and others). Some went on to be incredibly successful, such as Oasis.

Scientists left a hamster wheel in the woods, and wild mice, frogs even slugs had a wild time running in it. #Science #Mice #Rodents #Hamster royalsocietypublishing.org/doi

The Path to Sustainable and Equitable Mobility: Defining a Stakeholder-Informed Transportation System

A transportation system should be designed considering the relevant stakeholders’ needs for a fundamental transformation in travelling behaviour. This research aims to contribute to that by characterising the future network in response to the stakeholders’ requirements, using a systematic literature review paired with a grounded theory approach. Out of 39 reviewed publications, 13 transportation indicators were clustered into six dimensions representing stakeholders’ requirements for the transportation system. These results depict a stakeholder-informed land transportation system as a system of accessible and integrated mode services, which should be supported by policy and infrastructure, economically balanced, socially, and environmentally sustainable and rely on mobility-dedicated assisting features. Further research is proposed on (1) adapting these results to the legal, social, economic, and environmental contexts and (2) the ability of MaaS scenarios to answer the collected dimensions. This research is crucial to determine the areas of focus of a stakeholder-designed transportation system and to frame them in the mobility ecosystem, both individually and interlinked. Furthermore, its originality lies in (1) the application of this methodology to collect, analyse, and define a set of mobility investment priorities, and (2) the recognition of the relevant stakeholders in mobility considering their diverse perspectives and needs.
