From traffic in towns to people in streets: Exploring the relationships between behaviour, design, and regulation (2022)
Thesis
Flower, J. From traffic in towns to people in streets: Exploring the relationships between behaviour, design, and regulation. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/7442253

This research investigates how street environments and culture are shaped by behaviour, design, and regulation, and explores the implications of this shaping for street users who walk and cycle. The work of Buchanan and Smeed in the 1960s helped crea... Read More about From traffic in towns to people in streets: Exploring the relationships between behaviour, design, and regulation.

Cyclist and pedestrian trust in automated vehicles: An on-road and simulator trial (2022)
