I wanted to know what AI makes of Triple Access Planning. Having asked Copilot to provide concise definitions of transport planning and of TAP it then suggested I ask it “How is Triple Access Planning different from traditional transport planning?”. Here’s the answer it gave.

Triple Access Planning (TAP) diverges from traditional transport planning in several key ways:

1️⃣ Holistic Approach:

⚫ TAP considers not only physical mobility (like roads and transit) but also spatial proximity (land-use planning) and digital connectivity (telecommunications systems).

🔴 Traditional transport planning often focuses primarily on physical infrastructure without integrating these other dimensions.

2️⃣ Resilience and Adaptability:

⚫ TAP aims for robustness by addressing uncertainties and dynamic changes in urban environments.

🔴 Traditional planning may not always account for future disruptions or adapt well to evolving needs.

3️⃣ User-Centric Design:

⚫ TAP emphasises user experience, ensuring convenient access to essential destinations.

🔴 Traditional planning may prioritise efficiency over user needs.

4️⃣ Collaboration and Integration:

⚫ TAP encourages collaboration among transport, land-use and digital planning sectors.

🔴 Traditional planning often operates in silos, hindering seamless integration.

👉 In summary, TAP envisions a more interconnected, adaptable, and user-friendly urban mobility system, transcending the limitations of traditional approaches!

Notwithstanding that TAP applies to rural as much as urban mobility, it did a pretty good job!

📢 You’ll find via this link a video presentation that introduces TAP and the Handbook. I hope it’s helpful. Please share with others.

Yesterday we had the final 😢 online gathering of partners in the Triple Access Planning for Uncertain Futures project. Geert Koops rather beautifully summed up why he is drawn to TAP, explaining that it is simultaneously intellectually challenging and easy to understand! He also said “it opens a door in your brain”. Wonderfully put! 🤘
