Tools
and Techniques
With funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences
Research Council under their Sustainable Urban Environment programme (the
“SUE” in AUNT-SUE) the AUNT-SUE consortium has been developing
the following tools and techniques to support the development of inclusive
whole journey environments:
Modelling accessible stations: HADRIAN
HADRIAN stands for ‘Human Anthropometric Data Requirements Investigation
and Analysis’. It is a SAMMIE CAD based tool that enables designers
and planners to simulate how different individuals cope with various transport-related
tasks, such as vehicle incressegress, and help identify issues at the
concept stage of design or for a range of commercially available designs
where one wants to select the optimum design. (Led by: Loughborough University)

Modelling accessible station environments: Street Design Index
STREET INDEX: This GIS based tool is being developed to
enable designers and planners to model the urban environment more comprehensively,
and to understand how its diverse features can affect users’ perceptions
of streets and public areas. It is being designed to help identify areas
that are perceived negatively by pedestrians and so have the potential
to restrict their movements. (Led by: London Metropolitan University)

Modelling accessible neighbourhoods: AMELIA
AMELIA stands for ‘A Methodology for Enhancing Life
by Increasing Accessibility’ and is being developed in collaboration
with the Environment Department of Hertfordshire County Council. This
GIS based tool can be used by transport planners to establish how many
people meet accessibility benchmarks as a result of policy interventions.

Bringing it together ...
The AUNT-SUE project has brought together a wealth of knowledge
about why people can be socially excluded by travel. Through the Journey
Planner and VISIT this knowledge is being integrated.
