Students car use and its effect on environmental attitudes
Preprint / Working Paper
This study concerns the relationship between students’ travel behaviour and their attitudes towards environmental issues. Previous studies have shown car use correlated with attitudes towards climate change, and with attitudes towards various policy...

Carfree, low-car - what's the difference (2011)
Journal Article
The importance of driving for older people and how the pain of driving cessation can be reduced (2011)
Journal Article
Older people are more reliant on cars than ever before to meet their day-to-day needs. Giving-up driving is associated with much angst and can result in mental and physical health problems. However, such problems can be reduced if older drivers plan... Read More about The importance of driving for older people and how the pain of driving cessation can be reduced.
Older people's attitudes to road charging: Are they distinctive and what are the implications for policy? (2011)
Journal Article
In an ageing society older people have a growing influence on politics in general, and potentially on the acceptability of road charging in particular. They face specific types of risk of transport-related social exclusion which may influence their v...

Improving road transport-related air quality in England through joint working between Environmental Health Officers and Transport Planners (2011)
Journal Article
In this paper the necessity for effective joint working arrangements between Environmental Health Officers and Transport Planners is demonstrated as a fundamental prerequisite for successful management of traffic-related air quality in English local...

Towards a new framework for air quality management in Nigeria (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Since 1988 the Nigerian Government has introduced environmental legislation aimed at reducing the atmospheric impact of various sources of pollution. Emphasis has often been placed on mitigating pollution from the oil and gas industry. However, vario... Read More about Towards a new framework for air quality management in Nigeria.
Watching passengers: Using structured observation methods on public transport (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Direct observation of human behaviour is used in many disciplines. Ethnographic observation, a qualitative method, has been used successfully in public transport passenger studies. Structured observation is an unobtrusive method which can yield large... Read More about Watching passengers: Using structured observation methods on public transport.
Rural car dependence: An emerging barrier to community activity for older people? (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Community activity is identified as a key contributor to quality of life for many older people, and mobility is central to its facilitation. Following the premise that community activity enables the accumulation of social capital within a community,...

Has the introduction of the cycle to work scheme increased levels of cycling to work? (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
In today’s society, there is an even more apparent need to find solutions to two real causes for concern, where traffic congestion can bare so many adverse consequences, and where levels of obesity are higher than before, the quest to stem the flow o...

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...

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...

The impacts of household structure to the individual stochastic travel and out-of-home activity time budgets (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
The amount of travel time made by households and individuals can be seen as a result of complex daily interactions between household members, influenced by opportunities and constraints which vary from day-to-day. Using Stochastic Frontier Model and... Read More about The impacts of household structure to the individual stochastic travel and out-of-home activity time budgets.
A long term analysis of the mechanisms underlying children's activity-travel engagements in the Osaka metropolitan area (2012)
Journal Article
Using a series of conventional large-scale household travel surveys conducted in the Osaka metropolitan area of Japan in 1980, 1990 and 2000 this study examines the mechanisms underlying children's activity and travel engagements and how these mechan...

The effect of loss framing on the perceived difference of CO2 amounts: Implications for advanced travel information systems (ATIS) (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
The provision of information on carbon dioxide (CO2) generated by transport to the traveller can be seen as an instrument to increase the likelihood of more sustainable choices being made by individuals. However, little attention has been paid to the... Read More about The effect of loss framing on the perceived difference of CO2 amounts: Implications for advanced travel information systems (ATIS).
Distinguishing universal truths from country-specific influences on children's sustainable travel: A comparison of children in the UK and the Osaka regional area (2011)
Journal Article
The analysis of children’s activity-travel patterns has gained increasing attention in a variety of research fields, including in transportation, health, and urban planning domains. Most of the previous studies suggested that more compact development...

Editorial: recent developments in prospect theory-based travel behaviour research (2010)
Journal Article
Prospect theory, a descriptive approach of modeling individual choice making which has been applied in a range of contexts, has recently attracted the interest of transport academics and professionals and is seen by many as a promising framework for...
