Journal Article
Cabanelas, P., Parkhurst, G., Thomopoulos, N., & Lampón, J. F. (2023). A dynamic capability evaluation of emerging business models for new mobility. Research in Transportation Business and Management, 47, Article 100964. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rtbm.2023.100964

The ‘new mobility’ is claimed to promise improved transport services with reduced socioeconomic and environmental impacts whilst at the same time creating high-value business opportunities. The present article contributes to understanding the latter... Read More about A dynamic capability evaluation of emerging business models for new mobility.

The electrification of automobility (2022)
Book Chapter
Parkhurst, G. (2022). The electrification of automobility. In Electrifying Mobility: Realising a Sustainable Future for the Car (3-12). Bingley: Emerald. https://doi.org/10.1108/S2044-994120220000015003

Observations worldwide suggest that climate heating has moved from the stage of being a conceptual future threat to being widely recognisable as having a tangible and present impact in the 2020s. The promotion of the electric car, as a key feature of... Read More about The electrification of automobility.

Electrifying Mobility: Realising a Sustainable Future for the Car (2022)
Book
Parkhurst, G., & Clayton, W. (Eds.). (2022). Electrifying Mobility: Realising a Sustainable Future for the Car. Bingley: Emerald

Transport is responsible for a growing share of global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, emerging as an economic sector for which technical solutions have shown limited benefits and a shift to electric mobility is seen as an essential...

Perceived accessibility of employment sites by jobseekers and the potential relevance of employer-subsidised demand responsive transport to enhance the commute (2022)
Journal Article
Calvert, T., Crawford, F., Parkhurst, G., & Parkin, J. (2022). Perceived accessibility of employment sites by jobseekers and the potential relevance of employer-subsidised demand responsive transport to enhance the commute. Cities, 130, 103872. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cities.2022.103872

The constraints placed by the transport options available to job-seekers are key factors for the accessibility of employment locations and therefore social inclusion. The present paper investigates the importance of these constraints and the potentia...

Cyclist and pedestrian trust in automated vehicles: An on-road and simulator trial (2022)
Journal Article
Parkin, J., Crawford, F., Flower, J., Alford, C., Morgan, P., & Parkhurst, G. (2023). Cyclist and pedestrian trust in automated vehicles: An on-road and simulator trial. International Journal of Sustainable Transportation, 17(7), 762-774. https://doi.org/10.1080/15568318.2022.2093147

Automated vehicles (AVs) need to be trusted by cyclists and pedestrians where they will share the road. To test trust, cyclists and pedestrians, and a comparison cohort of drivers, observed trials of both a road and simulator AV undertaking three com...

Code, culture and concrete: Self-driving vehicles and the rules of the road (2021)
Journal Article
Tennant, C., Neels, C., Parkhurst, G., Jones, P., Mirza, S., & Stilgoe, J. (2021). Code, culture and concrete: Self-driving vehicles and the rules of the road. Frontiers in Sustainable Cities, 3, Article 710478. https://doi.org/10.3389/frsc.2021.710478

Behaviour on the road is ordered by a range of norms, rules, laws, and infrastructures. The introduction of self-driving vehicles onto the road opens a debate about the rules that should govern their actions and how these should be integrated with, o...

How should automated vehicles (AVs) interpret the rules of the road? A critical analysis of public expectations of interactions between AVs and road users (2021)
Presentation / Conference
Ricci, M., Shergold, I., & Parkhurst, G. (2021, July). How should automated vehicles (AVs) interpret the rules of the road? A critical analysis of public expectations of interactions between AVs and road users. Paper presented at Universities’ Transport Study Group (UTSG) Annual Conference 2021

Debates on how automated vehicles (AVs) would navigate the environment and behave while mixing with traffic have so far focused on technological capabilities and remained confined in expert circles, with very little dialogue with the public about the...
