Public realm schemes are being introduced in urban areas without the usual delineation between the footway and carriageway provided by kerb edges. Concern has been expressed about the resulting spaces on behalf of the approximately two million people...

Planning cycling networks: Human factors and design processes (2011)
Journal Article
Deegan, B., & Parkin, J. (2011). Planning cycling networks: Human factors and design processes. Proceedings of the ICE - Engineering Sustainability, 164(1), 85-93. https://doi.org/10.1680/ensu.1000018

Developing a network for cycle traffic is a complex process, particularly in a dense and heavily motor trafficked city such as London. The London Cycle Network Plus has delivered cycle routes on strategic highways, and local cycling stakeholders have... Read More about Planning cycling networks: Human factors and design processes.

Design speeds and acceleration characteristics of bicycle traffic for use in planning, design and appraisal (2010)

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...

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...
