ATLAS / CONNECT THE IDEAS
Urban mobility · Knowledge map
Connect a topic’s branches, questions and evidence in a maintainable map.
Build the topic structure
Relations
- Modes: Urban mobility → Public transport
- Modes: Urban mobility → Walking and cycling
- Modes: Urban mobility → Private transport
- Connections: Public transport → Transfers
- Capacity: Walking and cycling → Street space
- Resources: Private transport → Parking
From topics to questions
01
Public transport
Route coverage and transfer costs both affect accessibility. Record coverage, frequency and pedestrian connections separately.
02
Walking and cycling
Continuity, safety and shade shape the walking and cycling experience. Route length alone does not measure quality.
03
Private transport
Record the relationship between parking, movement and street use. Distinguish individual convenience from system costs.
04
A common basis
Compare modes using the same origins, destinations, time windows and traveler assumptions.
Structure a source card
| Field | Purpose | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Relationship | Which knowledge branch it connects to | Public transport × Walking and cycling |
| Source | Where to verify it | Research, planning documents or observations |
| Scope | The conditions where it applies | City, year and sample |
| Question | What the source answers | How transfer walking distance affects choices |
Keep it current
Assign new material to a question, then connect related branches. When studies conflict, preserve differences in conditions and methods instead of forcing one conclusion. This page is an organizational framework, not an empirical transport report.
