A Theoretical and Evidence Based Assessment of the Economics of Last Mile Delivery Consolidation (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cowie, J., & Fisken, K. (2019, December). A Theoretical and Evidence Based Assessment of the Economics of Last Mile Delivery Consolidation. Paper presented at 6th International Workshop on Sustainable Road Freight, University of Cambridge

Much research literature suggests that one mechanism through which the sustainability of road freight could be enhanced within the urban context, is through consolidation of consignments over ‘the last mile’. An often cited added benefit is that thi... Read More about A Theoretical and Evidence Based Assessment of the Economics of Last Mile Delivery Consolidation.

Measurement of Cycling Risk and Quantitative Policy (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
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.
