Sub-national transport bodies: Evaluation of initiatives to support local authority capacity and capability (2024)
Report

During 2021/22 the Department for Transport (DfT) made additional funding available to Sub-national Transport Bodies (STBs). The funding was to enable STBs to support their local authorities (LAs) in delivering transport policies in four priority are...

Effect of side road junction design enhancements and flows on priority for crossing pedestrians and cyclists (2024)
Journal Article

Enhancements to designs or carriageway markings are increasingly used by engineers to reinforce pedestrians’ and cyclists’ priority when crossing side roads at their junctions with main roads. Yielding behaviour in 13,402 interactions was collected a... Read More about Effect of side road junction design enhancements and flows on priority for crossing pedestrians and cyclists.

Understanding and managing injury risks associated with motorcycle taxi systems in lower- and middle-income countries: A systematic review (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background: Motorcycle taxis are an emerging mode of urban mobility in lower- and middle-income countries (LMICs) especially in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. The epidemiology of injuries associated with motorcycle taxi use is unclear, and there is lim...

Evidence to inform the regulation and policy development of motorcycle taxi services in Nepal: A secondary data analysis (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background: Globally, 30% of road traffic deaths involve motorcycles rising to 43% in South-East Asia, where motorcycles are often used as taxis. Road transport provides the main mode of mobility in Nepal, and in Kathmandu valley motorcycles constitu...

A critical review of newspaper articles reporting crashes of long-distance public buses in Nepal (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background: Public transport is the primary mode of transportation in Nepal. It has a high road traffic fatality rate with bus crashes on long-distance routes accounting for 13% of fatalities and 31% of serious injuries. Only limited information is a...

Zebra crossings at T-intersections: Likelihood of unintended negative consequences for safety and walkability (2023)
Journal Article

Local governments in Melbourne are installing zebra crossings at prioritised T-intersections within activity centres and neighbourhoods. These treatments are well-intentioned and meant to increase certainty for road users, to create a more equitable...

From traffic in towns to people in streets: Exploring the relationships between behaviour, design, and regulation (2022)
Thesis

This research investigates how street environments and culture are shaped by behaviour, design, and regulation, and explores the implications of this shaping for street users who walk and cycle. The work of Buchanan and Smeed in the 1960s helped crea... Read More about From traffic in towns to people in streets: Exploring the relationships between behaviour, design, and regulation.

Trust in an autonomously driven simulator and vehicle performing maneuvers at a T-junction with and without other vehicles (2018)
Book Chapter

Autonomous vehicle (AV) technology is developing rapidly. Level 3 automation assumes the user might need to respond to requests to retake control. Levels 4 (high automation) and 5 (full automation) do not require human monitoring of the driving task...

Field testing of the ACCESS materials: a portfolio of materials to assist health workers to identify children with disabilities and offer simple advice to mothers (2005)
Journal Article

Children in less-developed countries with mild to moderate disabilities often remain unidentified until school age. Delayed identification leads to less successful interventions for most children and risks secondary disabilities. The disability group...
