Overview

Experimental public transit transport performance statistics by 200 metre grids for a subset of urban centres in Great Britain, with the following fields (Note: These data are experimental, please see the Methods and Known Limitations/Caveats Sections for more details).AttributeDescriptionidUnique IdentifierpopulationGlobal Human Settlement Layer population estimate downsampled to 200 metre (represents the total population across adjacent 100 metre cells)access_popThe total population that can reach the destination cell within 45 minutes using the public transit network (origins within 11.25 kilometres of the destination cell)proxim_popThe total population within an 11.25 kilometre radius of the destination celltrans_perfThe transport performance of the 200 metre cell.

They are being published at this early stage to involve potential users and stakeholders in assessing their quality and suitability. The known caveats and limitations of these experimental statistics are summarised below. Urban Centre and Population Estimates: ·        Population estimates are derived from data using a hybrid method of satellite imagery and national censuses. The alignment of national census boundaries to gridded estimates introduce measurement errors, particularly in newer housing and built-up developments. See section 2.5 of the GHSL technical report release 2023A for more details. Public Transit Schedule Data (GTFS): ·        Does not include effects due to delays (such as congestion and diversions). ·        Common GTFS issues are resolved during preprocessing where possible, including removing trips with unrealistic fast travel between stops, cleaning IDs, cleaning arrival/departure times, route name deduplication, dropping stops with no stop times, removing undefined parent stations, and dropping trips, shapes, and routes with no stops. Certain GTFS cleaning steps were not possible in all instances, and in those cases the impacted steps were skipped. Additional work is required to further support GTFS validation and cleaning.  Transport Network Routing: ·        “Trapped” centroids: the centroid of destination cells on very rare occasions falls on a private road/pathway. Routing to these cells cannot be performed. This greatly decreases the transport performance in comparison with the neighbouring cells. Potential solutions include interpolation based on neighbouring cells or snapping to the nearest public OSM node (and adjusting the travel time accordingly). Further development to adapt the method for this consideration is necessary. Please also visit the Python package and Docker Image GitHub issues pages for more details.   How to Contribute: We hope that the public, other public sector organisations, and National Statistics Institutions can collaborate and build on these data, to help improve the international comparability of statistics and enable higher frequency and more timely comparisons. We welcome feedback and contribution either through GitHub or by contacting datacampus@ons.gov.uk.
