The modelling of motorcycle ownership and usage: a UK study (2007)
Journal Article
Burge, P., Fox, J., Kouvenhoeven, M., Rohr, C., & Wigan, M. (2007). The modelling of motorcycle ownership and usage: a UK study. Transportation research record, 59-68. https://doi.org/10.3141/2031-08

This paper presents work, undertaken for the UK Department for Transport, to help determine how policy could affect motorcycle usage. There are two important choices that determine potential motorcycle use: the decision to own a motorcycle, and conti... Read More about The modelling of motorcycle ownership and usage: a UK study.

How do you decide when to repeat transport surveys? (2007)
