Public Acceptability of Road User Charging: The Case of Edinburgh and the 2005 Referendum (2007)
Journal Article
Gaunt, M., Rye, T., & Allen, S. (2007). Public Acceptability of Road User Charging: The Case of Edinburgh and the 2005 Referendum. Transport Reviews, 27(1), 85-102. https://doi.org/10.1080/01441640600831299

In February 2005 residents of Edinburgh in Scotland, UK, were given the opportunity to vote in a referendum on the introduction of a road user charging scheme, which had been in development for almost a decade. The public voted against the scheme by... Read More about Public Acceptability of Road User Charging: The Case of Edinburgh and the 2005 Referendum.

Inappropriate high speed: who does it and why? (2006)
Journal Article
Fuller, R., Bates, H., Gormley, M., Hannigan, B., Stradling, S. G., Broughton, P., Kinnear, N. A. D., & O'Dolan, C. (2006). Inappropriate high speed: who does it and why?. Behavioural Research in Road Safety, 70-84

Inappropriate high speeds are associated with increases in crash probability and severity, and we need to understand why they happen if we are to design workable
interventions. Thirty-six drivers participated in four focus groups: one of profession... Read More about Inappropriate high speed: who does it and why?.

Modelling how changes in the driving cycle affect fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emission rates: the first stage. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kirby, H. (2006, November). Modelling how changes in the driving cycle affect fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emission rates: the first stage

This paper describes a simplified procedure for estimating the fuel consumed and carbon dioxide emitted as a result of traffic demand management measures or other policy instruments. The usual methods may be based on second-by-second traffic simulati...

Transport surveillance: social impacts. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wigan, M., & Clarke, R. A. (2006, September). Transport surveillance: social impacts. Presented at European Transport Conference

The growth in ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems) and other potentially problematic surveillance applications has been occurring at the same time as measures such as data registration and data protection legislation have become mainstream. The accele... Read More about Transport surveillance: social impacts..

Factors influencing the behaviour of people who drive at work. (2006)
Journal Article
O'Dolan, C., & Stradling, S. G. (2006). Factors influencing the behaviour of people who drive at work. Behavioural Research in Road Safety,

Work-related road accidents account for around 25-33% of all road fatalities in Britain and in the region of 250 serious injuries per week. Previous studies show that those who drive for work have a higher accident risk than the general driving popul... Read More about Factors influencing the behaviour of people who drive at work..

Minimal revenue network tolling: system optimisation under stochastic assignment with elastic demand. (2006)
Book Chapter
Stewart, K., & Maher, M. (2006). Minimal revenue network tolling: system optimisation under stochastic assignment with elastic demand. In S. Lawphongpanich, D. Hearn, & M. Smith (Eds.), Mathematics in transport : selected proceedings of the 4th IMA International Conference on Mathematics in Transport : in honour of Richard Allsop (201-218). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/0-387-29645-X_9

The classical road tolling problem is to toll network links such that, under the principles of Wardropian User Equilibrium (UE) assignment, a System Optimising (SO) flow pattern is obtained. Such toll sets are however non-unique, and further optimisa... Read More about Minimal revenue network tolling: system optimisation under stochastic assignment with elastic demand..

Social impacts of transport surveillance. (2006)
Journal Article
Wigan, M., & Clarke, R. A. (2006). Social impacts of transport surveillance. Prometheus, 24(4), 389-404. https://doi.org/10.1080/08109020601029961

The transport sector is a natural focal point for surveillance measures to combat the threat of terrorism. It is also a complex environment that offers many examples of the social impacts of contemporary surveillance. Surveillance needs to be assesse...

Comparative field evaluation of the signal control strategy TUC in three traffic networks. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bielefeldt, C. (2006, January). Comparative field evaluation of the signal control strategy TUC in three traffic networks. Presented at 85th Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board

This paper describes how the recently developed network-wide real-time signal control strategy TUC has been implemented in three traffic networks with quite different traffic and control infrastructure characteristics: Chania, Greece (23 junctions);...

Car parking management at airports: A special case? (2006)
Journal Article
Aldridge, K., Carreno, M., Ison, S., Rye, T., & Straker, I. (2006). Car parking management at airports: A special case?. Transport Policy, 13(6), 511-521. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tranpol.2006.05.002

The number of employees who daily commute to an airport represents, on average, one quarter to one half of the daily number of passengers. At UK airports it is rare for employees to pay for their car parking, with most employers absorbing the charges... Read More about Car parking management at airports: A special case?.
