Understanding attitudes to priorities at side road junctions (2019)
Journal Article
Flower, J., & Parkin, J. (2019). Understanding attitudes to priorities at side road junctions. Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour, 62, 246-257. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trf.2019.01.005

Junctions are places of interaction and hence conflict for all road users. Two thirds of all collisions in built up areas occur at junctions, with pedestrians and cyclists being most at risk. The aim of the research is to investigate the attitudes to... Read More about Understanding attitudes to priorities at side road junctions.

Cycling and disability: A review (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Clayton, W., & Parkin, J. (2016, January). Cycling and disability: A review. Paper presented at Universities' Transport Study Group 48th Annual Conference, Bristol, UK

People with a disability have been found to be at increased risk of developing serious health conditions – often linked to obesity as a consequence of a more sedentary life. Cycling has the potential to offer significant health benefits to disabled p... Read More about Cycling and disability: A review.

Book
Gerike, R., & Parkin, J. (2015). J. Parkin, & R. Gerike (Eds.), Cycling Futures: From Research into Practice. Farnham, Surrey, UK: Ashgate

A growing number of stakeholders and authorities recognize the benefits of cycling. Much is known already about the nature of cycling and the factors that influence it. The goal of this book is to bridge the gap between research and practice by allow... Read More about Cycling Futures: From Research into Practice.

The use of social marketing in promoting cycling (2015)
Book Chapter
Tapp, A., & Parkin, J. (2015). The use of social marketing in promoting cycling. In R. Gerike, & J. Parkin (Eds.), Cycling Futures: From Research into Practice (183-205). Farnham, Surrey, UK: Ashgate

This chapter explores the use of social marketing to increase the use of the bicycle as a mode of everyday travel. The popularity and level of use of a particular transport mode will broadly result from two factors: the quality of experience of that...

Active travel: Its fall and rise (2015)
Book Chapter
Davis, A., & Parkin, J. (2015). Active travel: Its fall and rise. In H. Barton, S. Thompson, S. Burgess, & M. Grant (Eds.), The Routledge Handbook of Planning for Health and Well-Being (108-120). Abingdon, Oxfordshire, UK: Routledge

Transport, by definition, involves movement; and different methods of movement require different levels of physical activity on the part of the traveller. The intensity of activity may also vary, for example depending on the speed of cycling. A usefu... Read More about Active travel: Its fall and rise.
