Data purpose

This dataset contains transport routes for walking, driving, cycling, and public transport (train, tube, and bus) within the Greater London (GLA), which can be used for simulations of human behaviour and movement, for example using agent-based models (e.g. Capel-Timms et al. 2021, McGrory et al. 2024b).
