Design speeds and acceleration characteristics of bicycle traffic for use in planning, design and appraisal (2010)
Journal Article
Parkin, J., & Rotheram, J. (2010). Design speeds and acceleration characteristics of bicycle traffic for use in planning, design and appraisal. Transport Policy, 17(5), 335-341. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tranpol.2010.03.001

This paper reports the results of a study of a cohort of cyclists to determine their speed and acceleration characteristics relative to gradient and other influencing factors in order to supply data for planners, designers and appraisers of cycle inf...

The effect of cycle lanes on the proximity between motor traffic and cycle traffic (2010)
Journal Article
Parkin, J., & Meyers, C. (2010). The effect of cycle lanes on the proximity between motor traffic and cycle traffic. Accident Analysis and Prevention, 42(1), 159-165. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aap.2009.07.018

An experiment collected proximity data of motor traffic overtaking cycle traffic on roads with and without cycle lanes using an instrumented bicycle. The work enhances previous research which has considered the riding position of the cyclist and whet...

Comparison of methods of assessing cycle routes (2009)
Journal Article
Parkin, J., & Coward, A. (2009). Comparison of methods of assessing cycle routes. Proceedings of the ICE - Municipal Engineer, 162(1), 7-14. https://doi.org/10.1680/muen.2009.162.1.7

This paper compares the Institution of Highways and Transportation (IHT) Guidelines for Cycle Audit and Cycle Review with two methods of assessment based on research into perceptions of risk by cycle users in a study of fifteen routes from ten origin...

Estimation of the determinants of bicycle mode share for the journey to work using census data (2008)
Journal Article
Parkin, J., Wardman, M., & Page, M. (2008). Estimation of the determinants of bicycle mode share for the journey to work using census data. Transportation, 35(1), 93-109. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11116-007-9137-5

A model is presented that relates the proportion of bicycle journeys to work for English and Welsh electoral wards to relevant socio-economic, transport and physical variables. A number of previous studies have exploited existing disaggregate data se... Read More about Estimation of the determinants of bicycle mode share for the journey to work using census data.

Models of perceived cycling risk and route acceptability (2007)
Journal Article
Parkin, J., Wardman, M., & Page, M. (2007). Models of perceived cycling risk and route acceptability. Accident Analysis and Prevention, 39(2), 364-371. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aap.2006.08.007

Perceived cycling risk and route acceptability to potential users are obstacles to policy support for cycling and a better understanding of these issues will assist planners and decision makers. Two models of perceived risk, based on non-linear least... Read More about Models of perceived cycling risk and route acceptability.

A systematic approach to rights of way improvement planning (2005)
Journal Article
Moores, D., Krause, J., Parkin, J., & Christensen, J. (2005). A systematic approach to rights of way improvement planning. Proceedings of the ICE - Municipal Engineer, 158(2), 123-128. https://doi.org/10.1680/muen.2005.158.2.123

The Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 created the legal basis for rights of way improvement plans (ROWIPs). A systematic approach to the development of these plans has been developed through work on a pilot in Cheshire. A topic reviewed more clo...

Innovation in education transport: Developments in West Yorkshire (2004)
Journal Article
Parkin, J., McCorquodale, F., & Pickersgill, S. (2004). Innovation in education transport: Developments in West Yorkshire. Proceedings of the ICE - Municipal Engineer, 157(1), 33-38. https://doi.org/10.1680/muen.2004.157.1.33

Education transport has been the Cinderella service of the bus industry. High peak costs and behaviour problems have consorted to make the carriage of school children a low priority for bus operators. On the other hand, education authorities have a d...
