The influence of urban built environments and place perceptions on psychological wellbeing and cognition during walking (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Bornioli, A., Parkhurst, G., & Morgan, P. (2017, April). The influence of urban built environments and place perceptions on psychological wellbeing and cognition during walking. Paper presented at American Association of Geographers (AAG) Annual Conference, Boston, Massachusetts

Scholars have identified several elements related to the physical surroundings that positively contribute to psychological wellbeing during walking. Among these, the benefits of natural elements have received extensive attention in the literature. Ho...

Manual takeover and handover of a simulated fully autonomous vehicle within urban and extra urban settings (2017)
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.

The air pollution-transport divide: Why after two decades of statutory obligations is road transport derived air pollution not declining? (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Chatterton, T., & Parkhurst, G. (2016, August). The air pollution-transport divide: Why after two decades of statutory obligations is road transport derived air pollution not declining?. Presented at RGS-IGB Annual International Conference, Kensington, London

Road transport is the principal cause of air pollution in over 95% of legally designated “Air Quality Management Areas” in the UK. Current estimates are that over 50,000 deaths a year can be attributed to air pollution in this country – between 15 a...
