The kinematic features of motorcycles in congested urban networks (2011)
Journal Article
Lee, T.-C., Polak, J. W., Bell, M. G. H., & Wigan, M. (2012). The kinematic features of motorcycles in congested urban networks. Accident analysis and prevention, 49, 203-211. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aap.2011.04.002

The aim of this paper is to compare the kinematic features of motorcycles with those of passenger cars in urban traffic. The hypothesis that motorcycles’ capability to swerve in urban traffic contributes to their seemingly assertive behaviour is exam...

The effect of transport on air quality in urban areas of Syria (2011)
Journal Article
Almasri, R., Muneer, T., & Cullinane, K. (2011). The effect of transport on air quality in urban areas of Syria. Energy Policy, 39(6), 3605-3611. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enpol.2011.03.062

Statistics show that the number of cars per capita in Syria is still low, but that the figure has more than doubled since 2004. Syria also suffers from inadequate public transport provision, poor infrastructure and the absence of suitable traffic man...
