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...

Exploring the use and perception of shared bikes for commuting and business travel on the urban fringe (2021)
Presentation / Conference
Calvert, T., Bartle, C., & Parkhurst, G. (2021, July). Exploring the use and perception of shared bikes for commuting and business travel on the urban fringe. Presented at 53rd Annual UTSG conference, Loughborough UK

Globally, bike-share schemes are in a state of flux; 1,977 public schemes are currently operating but another 835 have closed (Meddin et al., 2021), as new ‘fifth generation’ schemes (typically dockless) compete with each other and squeeze the more m...

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...

Who is willing to share their AV? Insights about gender differences among seven countries (2021)
Journal Article
Polydoropoulou, A., Tsouros, I., Thomopoulos, N., Pronello, C., Elvarsson, A., Sigþórsson, H., …Di Ciommo, F. (2021). Who is willing to share their AV? Insights about gender differences among seven countries. Sustainability, 13(9), Article 4769. https://doi.org/10.3390/su13094769

The introduction of shared autonomous vehicles into the transport system is suggested to bring significant impacts on traffic conditions, road safety and emissions, as well as overall reshaping travel behaviour. Compared with a private autonomous veh... Read More about Who is willing to share their AV? Insights about gender differences among seven countries.

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...
