GPS tracking experiment at primary school De Stappen in Tilburg municipality

On February the 27th, Tilburg municipality and NHTV started with an innovative GPS- tracking experiment at primary school De Stappen. During a period of two weeks children will carry a GPS-tracker with them to research their multiple transport modalities within the primary school surroundings and neighbourhood. The idea is to show the routes of the children on a map. The routes can help to decide where to take measures in order to (re)design a child friendly neighbourhood. If for instance a route is very crowded with motorised traffic, do the children also experience it this way? And what are the most important routes to school? We expect the first results of this experiment in April 2018.
