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...
