Modelling and analysing cyclist road safety performance in Scotland: a safety in numbers perspective (2019)
Thesis
Meade, M. S. Modelling and analysing cyclist road safety performance in Scotland: a safety in numbers perspective. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2682661

Reported cyclist casualties are disproportionally high relative to their modal share. This is a well-documented problem and yet we currently do not have local or national models that can estimate exposure (i.e. intensity of travel by bike). There is...

Modelling Cycling Flow for the estimation of cycling risk at a meso urban spatial level (2018)
Journal Article
Meade, S., & Stewart, K. (2018). Modelling Cycling Flow for the estimation of cycling risk at a meso urban spatial level. Transportation Research Procedia, 34, 59-66. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trpro.2018.11.014

One of the prevailing challenges in cycling research, or indeed any vulnerable road user research, is the availability of data to ascertain a representative level of 'exposure' or simply how much cycling there is – " when and where ". Therefore, it i... Read More about Modelling Cycling Flow for the estimation of cycling risk at a meso urban spatial level.

Measurement of Cycling Risk and Quantitative Policy (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Meade, S., Stewart, K., & Maher, M. (2018, May). Measurement of Cycling Risk and Quantitative Policy. Paper presented at Scottish Transport Applications and Research (STAR) Conference 2018, Glasgow

The SiN (Safety-in-numbers) effect has become prevalent within cycling research in recent years and describes the phenomenon whereby cycling accident risk may fall when the volume of cyclists increases. Such an effect is clearly attractive to policy... Read More about Measurement of Cycling Risk and Quantitative Policy.

The Visualisation of SiN in Edinburgh (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Meade, S., Stewart, K., & Maher, M. (2017, May). The Visualisation of SiN in Edinburgh. Paper presented at Scottish Transport Applications Research, Glasgow

Traffic safety has three primary dimensions: exposure (to risk), risk (of having a crash subject to a certain amount of exposure) and consequences (crash outcome e.g. injury type of a given crash). This paper focuses on two of those elements, exposur... Read More about The Visualisation of SiN in Edinburgh.
