Journal Article
Sonduru Pantangi, S., Fountas, G., Tawfiq Sarwar, M., Bhargava, A., Mohan, S. B., Savolainen, P., & Ch. Anastasopoulos, P. (2022). The impact of public-private partnerships for roadway projects on traffic safety: An exploratory empirical analysis of crash

Since the mid-2000s, Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) have been established in transportation infrastructure projects as an effective alternative to the traditional procurement process, such as design-bid-build where the design and construction are...

Solar-Powered Active Road Studs and Highway Infrastructure: Effect on Vehicle Speeds (2021)
Journal Article
Llewellyn, R., Cowie, J., & Fountas, G. (2021). Solar-Powered Active Road Studs and Highway Infrastructure: Effect on Vehicle Speeds. Energies, 14(21), 7209. https://doi.org/10.3390/en14217209

Vehicle speeds have a direct relationship with the severity of road crashes and may influence their probability of occurrence. Solar-powered active road studs have been shown to have a positive effect on driver confidence, but their impact on vehicle...

Due to higher smartphone uptake and Internet penetration rate, Ubiquitous Real-time Passenger Information (URTPI) has become available to and required by larger segments of the public transit passenger population. URTPI can influence perceptions rega... Read More about Access to Ubiquitous Real-Time Information by Bus Passengers in Urban Contexts.

Addressing Unobserved Heterogeneity in the Analysis of Bicycle Crash Injuries in Scotland: A Correlated Random Parameters Ordered Probit Approach with Heterogeneity in Means (2021)
Journal Article
Fountas, G., Fonzone, A., Olowosegun, A., & McTigue, C. (2021). Addressing Unobserved Heterogeneity in the Analysis of Bicycle Crash Injuries in Scotland: A Correlated Random Parameters Ordered Probit Approach with Heterogeneity in Means. Analytic Methods

This paper investigates the determinants of injury severities in single-bicycle and bicycle-motor vehicle crashes by estimating correlated random parameter ordered probit models with heterogeneity in the means. This modeling approach extends the fron...

Extending the Heston model to forecast motor vehicle collision rates (2021)
Journal Article
Shannon, D., & Fountas, G. (2021). Extending the Heston model to forecast motor vehicle collision rates. Accident analysis and prevention, 159, Article 106250. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aap.2021.106250

We present an alternative approach to the forecasting of motor vehicle collision rates. We adopt an oft-used tool in mathematical finance, the Heston Stochastic Volatility model, to forecast the short-term and long-term evolution of motor vehicle col...

Report
Downey, L., Fonzone, A., Fountas, G., & Semple, T. Impact of COVID-19 on travel behaviour, transport, lifestyles and residential location choices in Scotland. Scottish Funding Council

COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO) on 21st March 2020 and on 24th March 2020, the UK and Scottish Governments imposed a ‘lockdown’, restricting everyday life activities to only the most essential. These Government... Read More about Impact of COVID-19 on travel behaviour, transport, lifestyles and residential location choices in Scotland.
