Book Chapter
Morgan, P., Alford, C., Williams, C., Parkhurst, G., & Pipe, A. G. (2017). Manual takeover and handover of a simulated fully autonomous vehicle within urban and extra urban settings. In N. A. Stanton (Ed.), Advances in Human Aspects of Transportation: Proceedings of the AHFE 2017 International Conference on Human Factors in Transportation (760-771). Springer

Relatively little is known about human behavior and performance when retaking control of highly autonomous vehicles (AVs) at different speeds and under varied driving conditions. Past research has tended to focus on long periods of high-speed extra-u... Read More about Manual takeover and handover of a simulated fully autonomous vehicle within urban and extra urban settings.

Affective appraisals of urban walking: The role of heritage environments (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Bornioli, A., Parkhurst, G., Morgan, P., & Short, M. (2016, January). Affective appraisals of urban walking: The role of heritage environments. Paper presented at Universities Transport Study Group Annual Conference, Bristol, UK

A recent “affective turn” in the social sciences has given new emphasis to the role of affect and emotions in influencing human behaviours (Damasio 2006). Affective experiences can also have major implications on travel behaviours with; investigation... Read More about Affective appraisals of urban walking: The role of heritage environments.

Who encourages us to cycle? A novel approach to researching social influence in UK cycling (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Dalton, A., Powell, J., & Parkhurst, G. (2011, January). Who encourages us to cycle? A novel approach to researching social influence in UK cycling. Paper presented at 43rd Universities Transport Study Group Conference, Milton Keynes, UK

This PhD research is an exciting opportunity to explore an under-researched area of transport and health studies; how gender and social influence relate to cycling behaviour. As well as being cross-disciplinary, it is also novel in the usage of a met... Read More about Who encourages us to cycle? A novel approach to researching social influence in UK cycling.
