This chapter examines the changes or improvements in the transport sector in Great Britain from 1998 to 2008, and compares them with those of other European countries. It evaluates how far policy objectives have been achieved and describes recent dev... Read More about Mind the gap! The UK's record in European perspective.

Improving reliability through multi-path routing and link defence: an application of game theory to transport. (2008)
Book Chapter
Kanturska, U., Schmoecker, J. D., Fonzone, A., & Bell, M. G. H. (2008). Improving reliability through multi-path routing and link defence: an application of game theory to transport. In Game Theoretic Risk Analysis of Security Threats (199-229). BMC

This paper looks at the vulnerability of transportation networks against minor (e.g. demonstrations) and major (e.g. terrorists attacks) incidents by using an attacker-defender model which applies the game theoretic approach proposed by Bell (2000)....
