Scooter stories: User and non-user experiences of a shared E-Scooter trial (2023)
Journal Article
Speak, A., Taratula-Lyons, M., Clayton, W., & Shergold, I. (2023). Scooter stories: User and non-user experiences of a shared E-Scooter trial. Active Travel Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 3(1), https://doi.org/10.16997/ats.1195

E-scooters are the fastest-growing form of micro-mobility, riding a wave of popularity in recent years; in may cities, they have sparked something akin to an urban personal mobility revolution. Despite their popularity, e-scooters raise several chall... Read More about Scooter stories: User and non-user experiences of a shared E-Scooter trial.

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...

A study of users' preferences after a brief exposure in a Shared Autonomous Vehicle (SAV) (2021)
Journal Article
Paddeu, D., Tsouros, I., Parkhurst, G., Polydoropoulou, A., & Shergold, I. (2021). A study of users' preferences after a brief exposure in a Shared Autonomous Vehicle (SAV). Transportation Research Procedia, 52, 533-540. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trpro.2021.01.063

Shared Autonomous Vehicles are expected to significantly change transport and mobility, improving road safety, environmental impact and traffic efficiency. However, the successful implementation of a SAV mobility service strongly depends on public ac...

The social perspective on policy towards local shared autonomous vehicle services (LSAVS) (2020)
Journal Article
Paddeu, D., Shergold, I., & Parkhurst, G. (2020). The social perspective on policy towards local shared autonomous vehicle services (LSAVS). Transport Policy, 98, 116-126. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tranpol.2020.05.013

The transport policy discourse posits Shared Autonomous Vehicles (SAVs) as a more sustainable solution for the implementation of road automation technology. A successful implementation of SAV services strongly depends on being able to meet user's nee...

Passenger comfort and trust on first-time use of a shared autonomous shuttle vehicle (2020)
Journal Article
Paddeu, D., Parkhurst, G., & Shergold, I. (2020). Passenger comfort and trust on first-time use of a shared autonomous shuttle vehicle. Transportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies, 115, Article 102604. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trc.2020.02.026

Autonomous Vehicles (AV) may become widely diffused as a road transport technology around the world. However, two conditions of successful adoption of AVs are that they must be synchronously shared, to avoid negative transport network and environment...

Business models being trialled in the shared-ride on-demand niche, and challenges and barriers encountered (2019)
Presentation / Conference
Calvert, T., Ward, S., Shergold, I., Parkhurst, G., & Jain, J. (2019, July). Business models being trialled in the shared-ride on-demand niche, and challenges and barriers encountered. Paper presented at Universities' Transport Study Group (UTSG) 51st Annual Conference, Leeds, UK

This paper evaluates the growing range of business models being applied within on-demand shared-ride road transport niches. Whilst examples of such services are long-standing; arguably as old as road passenger transport, new technologies have opened...
