Rural car dependence: An emerging barrier to community activity for older people (2012)
Journal Article
Shergold, I., Parkhurst, G., & Musselwhite, C. (2012). Rural car dependence: An emerging barrier to community activity for older people. Transportation Planning and Technology, 35(1), 69-85. https://doi.org/10.1080/03081060.2012.635417

Community activity is a key contributor to quality of life for many older people. It also plays a role in the well-being of the communities they live in. Mobility, though, is central to such activity, and thus a conceptual link is proposed between 'm... Read More about Rural car dependence: An emerging barrier to community activity for older people.

Leaders and laggards in transport CO2 emissions: The challenges and outcomes of benchmarking sustainable urban transport systems across Europe (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Waygood, O., Chatterton, T., & Avineri, E. (2012, January). Leaders and laggards in transport CO2 emissions: The challenges and outcomes of benchmarking sustainable urban transport systems across Europe. Paper presented at The 44th Annual UTSG (The Universities' Transport Study Group) Conference, Aberdeen, UK

The transport sector represents roughly 18% of the CO2 emissions in the EU and is the only sector that has continued to increase emissions. As most people live and work in cities in the EU, it is important to identify the leaders and laggards with re...

Is the bus boring? (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Clayton, W. (2012, January). Is the bus boring?. Paper presented at Universities Transport Studies Group Conference, University of Aberdeen, UK

Contemporary research on travel-time use challenges the notion that travel-time is wasted, but is it always a positive experience? Previous studies have suggested that engaging in activity during travel-time increases the utility of a journey, and th... Read More about Is the bus boring?.

Conceptual model to explain turning points in travel behavior: Application to bicycle use (2012)
Journal Article
Chatterjee, K., Sherwin, H., Jain, J., Christensen, J., & Marsh, S. (2012). Conceptual model to explain turning points in travel behavior: Application to bicycle use. Transportation Research Record, 2322(2012/1), 82-90. https://doi.org/10.3141/2322-09

Existing knowledge on cycling behavior, as with travel behavior in general, is based mainly on cross-sectional studies. It is questionable how much can be learned about the reasons for behavioral change from such studies. A major investment program t...
