This case study builds on existing air-quality monitoring in local schools and embeds 'rainbow routes' within a new research project collecting smartphone app-based data on active travel. The aim is to close data gaps and speed up interventions that favour safe, active and independent travel for children.
The team plan to gather baseline data using a novel app-based survey technology, TravelVu. At the same time, we will monitor air quality data at the school (on-going research project) and on the journey to school using portable sensors (on loan from the Urban Flows Observatory).
The data from the app and the air quality monitors will be analysed by a collaborative team including researchers and consultants at ARUP, Sheffield Hallam University (SHU) and The University of Sheffield (TUOS).
