The EVIDENCE project: Measure no.20 - Cycling (2016)
Journal Article
Parkin, J. (2016). The EVIDENCE project: Measure no.20 - Cycling. World Transport Policy and Practice, 22(1/2), 193-202

Positive Benefit-Cost-Ratios (BCRs) are seen for networks of cycle paths, based on journey time savings and lower health and fuel costs. Positive BCRs at the lower end of the scale derive benefits mainly from the value of time; health benefits contri... Read More about The EVIDENCE project: Measure no.20 - Cycling.

The effects of cycle lanes, vehicle to kerb distance and vehicle type on cyclists' attention allocation during junction negotiation (2014)
Journal Article
Frings, D., Parkin, J., & Ridley, A. M. (2014). The effects of cycle lanes, vehicle to kerb distance and vehicle type on cyclists' attention allocation during junction negotiation. Accident Analysis and Prevention, 72, 411-421. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aap.2014.07.034

Increased frequency of cycle journeys has led to an escalation in collisions between cyclists and vehicles, particularly at shared junctions. Risks associated with passing decisions have been shown to influence cyclists' behavioural intentions. The c...
