About the Technical Presentation
Joining Impact models of transport with spatial measures of the Built Environment (JIBE)
Jibe is an agent-based transport model that captures the complex dynamics of
human behaviour in spatial and temporal dimensions. The project brings together research linking the built environment, transport and other health behaviours to better inform urban and transport planning policy and practice in Australia and the UK.
The project is led by Dr Belen Zapata-Diomedi at RMIT University and Professor James Woodcock at the University of Cambridge. This presentation will showcase the overall methodological process from built environment to
impacts of the modelled scenarios on transport behaviour, physical activity levels, exposure (PM2.5, NO2 and noise levels), injury risks, and health outcomes (e.g. mortality, cases of diseases prevented). They will present preliminary results for the Manchester case study.
Speakers
Professor James Woodcock
Prof James Woodcock leads the Public Health Modelling group at the MRC Epidemiology Unit, University of Cambridge. James develops models to help understand the health impacts of changes to how we travel and how such changes might occur. He has led on the development of policy relevant transport health impact models (ITHIM) and spatially detailed behaviour change potential models (PCT).James is a European Research Council Consolidator Grant holder and his research focuses on modelling health and sustainability. He has a particular interest in how we can improve health in the transition to a zero carbon transport system. His work investigates health impacts of changes to transport systems, developing detailed and realistic exposure scenarios, and modelling how changes could be brought about.
Dr Belen Zapata-Diomedi
Dr Belen Zapata-Diomedi is a public health researcher specialising in modeling the health impacts of active transport interventions. In 2018, she was awarded an Endeavour fellowship, which she completed at the Public Health Modelling Group at the MRC Epidemiology Unit, University of Cambridge. In 2019, she received an RMIT VC Postdoctoral Fellowship.
Belen co-leads, alongside Prof. Woodcock, the project "Joining Impact Models of Transport with Spatial Measures of the Built Environment," funded by UK Medical Research (UKRI) and the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC). She also led the development of the THAT models for Melbourne and Brisbane, which assess the health impacts of shifts from private car travel to active modes of transportation Currently, Belen leads a VicHealth-funded project focused on knowledge translation and the impact of complex transport models. This project aims to facilitate access and use of the JIBE modelling results and methods.
