The impact of the congestion charge on the retail business in London: An econometric analysis. (2007)
Journal Article
Quddus, M. A., Bell, M. G. H., Schmoecker, J., & Fonzone, A. (2007). The impact of the congestion charge on the retail business in London: An econometric analysis. Transport Policy, 14, 433-444. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tranpol.2007.04.008

On 17 February 2003, London introduced a pioneering congestion-charging scheme. The impact on traffic was sudden and dramatic. For example, car movements within the congestion-charging zone (21km2) were reduced by about 30%. However, the impact on ot...

Understanding inappropriate high speed: qualitative results from the HUSSAR project (2007)
Journal Article
Fuller, R., Hannigan, B., Bates, H., Gormley, M., Stradling, S. G., Broughton, P., …O'Dolan, C. (2007). Understanding inappropriate high speed: qualitative results from the HUSSAR project. Behavioural Research in Road Safety,

We know that inappropriate high speed (IHS) is related to driver collision frequency and severity. The strategic goals of this safety project are to inform drivers of the risks of IHS, to improve attitudes and behaviour in relation to speed choice an...

A new integrated device (called the BF3) has been developed, which enables the simultaneous measurement of horizontal global and diffuse irradiance as well as sunshine presence at any time. The sensor needs no specific polar alignment or routine adju... Read More about Evaluation of a new photodiode sensor for measuring global and diffuse irradiance, and sunshine duration..

Expansion of a controlled parking zone (CPZ) and its influence on modal split: the case of Edinburgh. (2007)
Journal Article
