Evaluation of the change in parking policy on Frenchay campus (2016)
Report

In 2013 UWE implemented a radical change in parking policy at Frenchay campus, removing the right to park from undergraduates living in an ‘Exclusion Zone’ (with a few exceptions) covering the areas where most students live. The change was applied t... Read More about Evaluation of the change in parking policy on Frenchay campus.

Commute mode choice dynamics: Accounting for day-to-day variability in longer term change (2016)
Journal Article

It is of interest to transport policy makers to know whether interventions promoting sustainable transport modes can produce long-term changes in commute mode choices. Recent evidence has shown that a significant minority of commuters are variable in... Read More about Commute mode choice dynamics: Accounting for day-to-day variability in longer term change.

Understanding the process that gives rise to household car ownership level changes (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 The Authors Quantitative studies have revealed that changes to the number of cars owned by households are more likely to occur at the time of life events. However, causal explanations of such relationships are either absent or lacking evidence... Read More about Understanding the process that gives rise to household car ownership level changes.

Changes to commute mode: The role of life events, spatial context and environmental attitude (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 The Authors. It has been suggested that commuting behaviours become habitual and that changes to commute mode are more likely at the time of major life events. However, evidence to support this has so far been limited to analyses of small-scal... Read More about Changes to commute mode: The role of life events, spatial context and environmental attitude.

The EVIDENCE project: Measure no.5 - Roadspace re-allocation (2016)
Journal Article

Key messages:

• Schemes in which general traffic lanes are re-allocated to alternative uses can be expected to reduce traffic volumes, improve journey times for the modes given additional priority (e.g. bicycles or buses), increase the use of non-...

The EVIDENCE project: Measure no.16 - Traffic management and control (2016)
Journal Article

Key messages:

• Urban Traffic Control systems (UTC) can be expected to improve network efficiency by reducing delays to vehicles. This can have additional benefits in reducing fuel use and emissions (although evidence here is limited).

• Econom... Read More about The EVIDENCE project: Measure no.16 - Traffic management and control.

The EVIDENCE project: Measure no.13 - New public transport systems and networks (2016)
Journal Article

Key messages:

• Light rail (LRT) and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems can increase passenger carrying capacity, increase use of public transport, and deliver land use strategies; e.g. regenerating former industrial areas, intensification around tra...

Flood resilience on the railways – solutions, appraisal and decision-making (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The welfare costs of weather related disruption on the transport network have been estimated to be between £100m and £520m per day of disruption in England. This paper presents a case study of a mainline railway cutting and tunnel, which is situated... Read More about Flood resilience on the railways – solutions, appraisal and decision-making.

The potential impact of autonomous vehicles on transport systems and society: A review and future prospects (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) are generating high-profile policy interest due to the potential for ‘disruptive’ influence on transport systems and wider society. The paper places AV technology in a historical context, through an annotated timeline of dev...

Understanding the socioeconomic adoption scenarios for autonomous vehicles: A literature review (2016)
Report

There is great and growing interest in autonomous vehicles (AVs), both in relation to rapid technological developments and the trialling of these developments, and the potential for their far reaching impacts on transport systems and society. The pre... Read More about Understanding the socioeconomic adoption scenarios for autonomous vehicles: A literature review.

Understanding interactions between autonomous vehicles and other road users: A literature review (2016)
Report

This review draws on literature relating to the interactions of vehicles with other vehicles, interactions between vehicles and infrastructure, and interactions between autonomous vehicles and cyclists and autonomous vehicles and pedestrians. The ava... Read More about Understanding interactions between autonomous vehicles and other road users: A literature review.
