Conceptual model to explain turning points in travel behavior: Application to bicycle use (2012)
Journal Article

Existing knowledge on cycling behavior, as with travel behavior in general, is based mainly on cross-sectional studies. It is questionable how much can be learned about the reasons for behavioral change from such studies. A major investment program t...

Exploring the interactions between life events, neighbourhood choice and car ownership transitions: Insights from a retrospective longitudinal survey (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A great deal has been written about the factors associated with cross-sectional variations in household car ownership. For example, observing that car ownership levels tend to increase with increasing distance from urban centres. However, much less h...

Applying behavioural theories to studying the influence of climate change on young people's future travel intentions (2012)
Journal Article

Transport policy in the UK is seeking to promote the development of low carbon transport technology and to encourage people to choose to use low carbon travel options. This paper draws on existing behavioural theories to study young people's travel b...

Creating built environments that promote walking and health: Assessing the current state of knowledge (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The principle that the built environment should be supportive of walking is generally accepted and a wide range of interventions have been carried out in recent years with the aim of increasing walking. This paper presents the findings from a study c... Read More about Creating built environments that promote walking and health: Assessing the current state of knowledge.

The effect of social interactions on travel behaviour: An exploratory study using a laboratory experiment (2011)
Journal Article

This study demonstrates the use of a laboratory experiment for investigating the effects of social interaction on the dynamics of travellers' choice behaviour. A small-scale exploratory experiment is carried out. Analyses are conducted using statisti...

Modelling the dynamics of bus use in a changing travel environment using panel data (2011)
Journal Article

Panel data offers the potential to represent the influence on travel choices of changing circumstances, past history and persistent individual differences (unobserved heterogeneity). A four-wave panel survey collected data on the travel choices of re... Read More about Modelling the dynamics of bus use in a changing travel environment using panel data.

Information-sharing, community-building and trust: A case study amongst commuter cyclists (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Research into the use and behavioural effects of travel information has concentrated on top-down information from transport providers, but little is known about the role of informal information, shared through word-of-mouth, in everyday travel behavi...

On the potential for recognising of social interaction and social learning in modelling travellers' change of behaviour under uncertainty (2011)
Journal Article

This study aims to investigate the potential of incorporating social interaction and social learning in modelling travellers' change of behaviour under uncertainty. The interdependent situation between travellers in using the road as a public good is...

Presentation / Conference Contribution

Complexity and travel behaviour: A multi-agent simulation for investigating the influence of social aspects on travellers' compliance with a demand management measure (2010)
Book Chapter

The planning and design of transport systems have an important part in leading travellers to more sustainable and efficient choices. Car-dependence is a prominent problem to be solved in order to reduce traffic congestion. It also affects the general...

The travel behaviour intentions of young people in the context of climate change (2010)
Journal Article

This article examines the factors influencing the future travel behaviour intentions of young people (aged 11-18), with specific attention given to how climate change considerations affect these. Overall it is found that the participants' travel beha... Read More about The travel behaviour intentions of young people in the context of climate change.

A comparative evaluation of large-scale personal travel planning projects in England (2009)
Journal Article

Findings are presented from a study assessing the effectiveness of large-scale, residential-based personal travel planning (PTP) projects in eight areas in England. The project evaluation results show consistent reductions in car driver trips with an... Read More about A comparative evaluation of large-scale personal travel planning projects in England.
