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. 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...
