Transport planning - It’s not rocket science (2017)
Book Chapter
Williams, D. (2017). Transport planning - It’s not rocket science. In G. Sierpiński, & E. Macioszek (Eds.), Recent Advances in Traffic Engineering for Transport Networks and Systems (119-128). Cham, Switzerland: Springer

When new transport infrastructure is designed and modelled we look at how it is used collectively, rather than at the individual level. However when we try change the behavior to alternative modes of transport we look at changing the individuals’ beh... Read More about Transport planning - It’s not rocket science.
