ROADMAP

What's built, and what's coming next.

Tobler is in active development. This page shows what works today and the order we're building the rest. We move items rather than dates, so telling us what you need first is the fastest way to change the order.

In build

Started, and the next to land.

  1. 01

    Shareable model state

    A link carries the weights, the scenario and the open suburb, so a figure quoted in a report opens in that exact state.

  2. 02

    Data export

    GeoJSON and CSV out, from one button. If the ranking can’t leave the tool, the tool is a black box.

  3. 03

    Vector tiles for the full catalogue

    The whole layer set is served as tiles, so the browser only loads what’s in view.

  4. 04

    File Geodatabase and MapInfo import

    Load .gdb and .tab/.mif directly, the way most council GIS teams hand data over.

Next

Specified, not started.

  1. 05

    Live council and state layers

    Read published WFS/WMS endpoints directly, so an authoritative layer updates without being re-exported.

  2. 06

    Fifteen-minute ride catchments

    What a rider can actually reach from a point along the network, instead of straight-line distance.

  3. 07

    Observed demand

    Segment-level counts of where people already ride, shown next to modelled suitability.

  4. 08

    Plain-English write-up

    A paragraph that explains a ranking, drafted from the same terms the score used.

  5. 09

    Bring your own spreadsheet

    Join a council file to suburb boundaries by name and score against it, without us in the loop.

  6. 10

    Phone and tablet

    The full ranking and map on the device a councillor will actually open the link on.

Being scoped

We know why it matters. We’re still working out the cost.

  1. 11

    Corridors beyond cycling

    The same engine applied to other corridor questions, such as walking and public transport priority.

  2. 12

    Network severance analysis

    Where the network is cut, and what a single crossing would reconnect.

  3. 13

    Street cross-sections

    Draw the proposed street, with lanes, separation and footpath, against the network the score already reads.

  4. 14

    Origin and destination flows

    Where trips want to go, so the network is planned against demand as well as geometry.

  5. 15

    Slope you can see

    The terrain rendered on the map as well as scored. On a coastline it explains a lot of the ranking.

  6. 16

    Comments on a published map

    Stakeholders mark up a proposal in place, not in a thread about a screenshot.

  7. 17

    A narrative walk-through

    The case as a scrolling brief, for the councillor who will never open a map.

What we're not building

It's written down so it doesn't come as a surprise during procurement. Each one is a deliberate decision.

A blank-canvas map builder

The opinion is the product. A general-purpose map builder is what we’re an alternative to.

Maps generated from a prompt

A councillor can’t cite a prompt. Everything here has to survive being asked where it came from.

Real-time co-editing

Tobler is read-mostly. Nobody needs to co-edit a score while someone else is reading it.

Rendering hundreds of millions of points

The unit of analysis is a few hundred areas and the streets inside them.

A SQL console

If an analyst wants their own query, the honest answer is to export the data.
