Planning for cycling (2014)
Other
Gallagher, R., & Parkin, J. (2014). Planning for cycling. London

Cycling is an important part of urban transport. However, for many years its role has been neglected in the UK, with the focus mainly on the needs of motor traffic. Cycling is one of the most sustainable forms of transport, and increasing its use has... Read More about Planning for cycling.

Influence of road markings, lane widths and driver behaviour on proximity and speed of vehicles overtaking cyclists (2014)
Journal Article
Shackel, S. C., & Parkin, J. (2014). Influence of road markings, lane widths and driver behaviour on proximity and speed of vehicles overtaking cyclists. Accident Analysis and Prevention, 73, 100-108. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aap.2014.08.015

© 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. The proximity and speed of motor traffic passing cyclists in non-separated conditions may be so close and so great as to cause discomfort. A variety of road design and driver behaviour factors may affect over...

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...

Planning and design approaches for cycling infrastructure (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Parkin, J. (2014, May). Planning and design approaches for cycling infrastructure. Presented at Radfahren in der Stadt Ringvorlesung, Technical University, Vienna, Austria

This chapter argues that approaches to design for cycle traffic have been undertaken based on inappropriate assumptions about the relationship between motor traffic and cycle traffic. The chapter provides provides the philosophy of science as a conte... Read More about Planning and design approaches for cycling infrastructure.

The impact of vibration on comfort and bodily stress while cycling (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Parkin, J., & Sainte Cluque, E. (2014, January). The impact of vibration on comfort and bodily stress while cycling. Paper presented at UTSG 46th Annual Conference, Newcastle University

This paper reports preliminary work to understand the nature of vibrations from riding a bicycle and how these may impact on human comfort and bodily stress. There are two parts to the study. The first part comprises results from a survey of cycle... Read More about The impact of vibration on comfort and bodily stress while cycling.
