Changes to commute mode: The role of life events, spatial context and environmental attitude (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 The Authors. It has been suggested that commuting behaviours become habitual and that changes to commute mode are more likely at the time of major life events. However, evidence to support this has so far been limited to analyses of small-scal... Read More about Changes to commute mode: The role of life events, spatial context and environmental attitude.

The EVIDENCE project: Measure no.5 - Roadspace re-allocation (2016)
Journal Article

Key messages:

• Schemes in which general traffic lanes are re-allocated to alternative uses can be expected to reduce traffic volumes, improve journey times for the modes given additional priority (e.g. bicycles or buses), increase the use of non-...

The EVIDENCE project: Measure no.16 - Traffic management and control (2016)
Journal Article

Key messages:

• Urban Traffic Control systems (UTC) can be expected to improve network efficiency by reducing delays to vehicles. This can have additional benefits in reducing fuel use and emissions (although evidence here is limited).

• Econom... Read More about The EVIDENCE project: Measure no.16 - Traffic management and control.

The EVIDENCE project: Measure no.13 - New public transport systems and networks (2016)
Journal Article

Key messages:

• Light rail (LRT) and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems can increase passenger carrying capacity, increase use of public transport, and deliver land use strategies; e.g. regenerating former industrial areas, intensification around tra...

The potential impact of autonomous vehicles on transport systems and society: A review and future prospects (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) are generating high-profile policy interest due to the potential for ‘disruptive’ influence on transport systems and wider society. The paper places AV technology in a historical context, through an annotated timeline of dev...

Flood resilience on the railways – solutions, appraisal and decision-making (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The welfare costs of weather related disruption on the transport network have been estimated to be between £100m and £520m per day of disruption in England. This paper presents a case study of a mainline railway cutting and tunnel, which is situated... Read More about Flood resilience on the railways – solutions, appraisal and decision-making.

Understanding interactions between autonomous vehicles and other road users: A literature review (2016)
Report

This review draws on literature relating to the interactions of vehicles with other vehicles, interactions between vehicles and infrastructure, and interactions between autonomous vehicles and cyclists and autonomous vehicles and pedestrians. The ava... Read More about Understanding interactions between autonomous vehicles and other road users: A literature review.

Understanding the socioeconomic adoption scenarios for autonomous vehicles: A literature review (2016)
Report

There is great and growing interest in autonomous vehicles (AVs), both in relation to rapid technological developments and the trialling of these developments, and the potential for their far reaching impacts on transport systems and society. The pre... Read More about Understanding the socioeconomic adoption scenarios for autonomous vehicles: A literature review.

The facts are clear – life events change travel behaviour. Policy-makers please take note (2015)
Journal Article

Towards a theory of the dynamics of household car ownership: Insights from a mobility biographies approach (2015)
Book Chapter

Household car ownership has arguably been one of the most widely studied areas within the field of transport research. Recently, studies in this area have moved to a focus on understanding the dynamic (time varying) nature of household car ownership....

Changes in level of household car ownership: The role of life events and spatial context (2015)
Journal Article

Recent longitudinal studies of household car ownership have examined factors associated with increases and decreases in car ownership level. The contribution of this panel data analysis is to identify the predictors of different types of car ownershi...

When policy recommendations get lost in translation: An examination of the express coach ‘niche’ as a missed sustainable mobility opportunity in the dominant inter-city travel regime (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Public express coach services potentially offer a solution to many inter-urban transport problems, providing additional capacity at a comparatively low financial and environmental cost, and deliverable in a much quicker timescale than the alternative...

Examining the relationship between life transitions and travel behaviour change: New insights from the UK household longitudinal study (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Recent research has indicated that changes in travel behaviour are more likely at the time of major life events. However, there remains much to learn about the extent to which different life events trigger behavioural change and the conditions under...

Life events and travel behavior exploring the interrelationship using UK Household Longitudinal Study data (2014)
Journal Article

Recent research has indicated that changes in travel behavior are more likely at the time of major life events. However, much remains to be learned about the extent to which different life events trigger behavioral change and the conditions under whi...

The public relies on Wikipedia, so it's our job to ensure its transport entries are accurate (2013)
Journal Article

Should Wikipedia be embraced by the transport profession as an influential source of information on transport issues? (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Like it or not, Wikipedia has become an influential source of information for the public and for professionals on many subjects, including transport. Enter either ‘high speed 2’ or ‘peak car’ (a debate of increasing academic interest) into Google and...

Understanding how household car ownership changes over time (2012)
Thesis

The PhD study presented in this thesis sets out to address the question: How and why does household car ownership change over time? This question is justified on the basis that the study of car ownership has traditionally been dominated by cross-sect... Read More about Understanding how household car ownership changes over time.

Exploring the interactions between life events, neighbourhood choice and car ownership transitions: Insights from a retrospective longitudinal survey (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A great deal has been written about the factors associated with cross-sectional variations in household car ownership. For example, observing that car ownership levels tend to increase with increasing distance from urban centres. However, much less h...
