Will the ‘smart mobility’ revolution matter? (2019)
Book Chapter
Parkhurst, G., & Seedhouse, A. (2019). Will the ‘smart mobility’ revolution matter?. In I. Docherty, & J. Shaw (Eds.), Transport Matters. Bristol: Policy Press

Powerful claims are being made about revolution in the transport sector, with digital technology seen as underpinning a new ‘ecosystem’ of more efficient, more pleasant, but less environmentally-damaging mobility. The chapter examines how far the cla... Read More about Will the ‘smart mobility’ revolution matter?.

New opportunities for on-demand shared-ride services to deliver modal shift and inclusive travel (2019)
Presentation / Conference

Autonomous vehicles: Who will use them, and will they share? (2019)
Presentation / Conference
Clayton, W., Parkhurst, G., Paddeu, D., & Parkin, J. (2019, July). Autonomous vehicles: Who will use them, and will they share?. Paper presented at Universities' Transport Study Group 2019 Conference

The advent of road transport automation has been identified as one of four key technological transitions that could eventually amount to a major transformation in mobility practices (Parkhurst and Seedhouse, 2019). Specifically, fully Automated Vehic... Read More about Autonomous vehicles: Who will use them, and will they share?.

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...

The (in)justice of Clean Air Zones (2019)
Presentation / Conference
Parkhurst, G. (2019, July). The (in)justice of Clean Air Zones. Paper presented at Universities' Transport Study Group Conference, University of Leeds

The paper considers the historic context of policy failure in respect of reducing the noxious emissions from road transport. It then turns to consider the policy debate around the fairness of Clean Air Zone (CAZ) proposals for UK cities and towns whi... Read More about The (in)justice of Clean Air Zones.
