To calculate a cyclability score for different neighbourhoods in Sydney.
Its a score that we define to assess how well a neighbourhood caters to cyclists.
To calculate cyclability per neighbourhood, a formula was used that took all data sources with relevance to cyclability into consideration. The formula is as follows:
cyclability = z(population density)+ z(dwelling density)+ z(service balance)+ z(bikepod density)+ z(BikeParking)
Where z is z-score or "standard score" of a measure, which can be calculated using z(measure, x) = x − avg measure / stddev measure
