Work-related road safety: Case study of British Telecommunications (BT) (2014)
Journal Article
Wallington, D., Murray, W., Darby, P., Raeside, R., & Ison, S. (2014). Work-related road safety: Case study of British Telecommunications (BT). Transport Policy, 32, 194-202. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tranpol.2014.01.002

Abstract Safety is a key issue for transport policy globally. Work-related travel has a significant impact on both road and occupational safety. Implementing a long term, sustainable work-related road safety program is a complex process requiring car... Read More about Work-related road safety: Case study of British Telecommunications (BT).

Population ageing, gender and the transportation system (2012)
Journal Article
Li, H., Raeside, R., Chen, T., & McQuaid, R. W. (2012). Population ageing, gender and the transportation system. Research in Transportation Economics, 34(1), 39-47. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.retrec.2011.12.007

Across the globe population structures are ageing and how older men and women interact with the transport system is increasingly important in maintaining a good quality of life and inclusion in society. The paper reviews three issues: the nature of o... Read More about Population ageing, gender and the transportation system.

Evaluation of fleet safety interventions. (2010)
Conference Proceeding
Darby, P., & Raeside, R. (2010). Evaluation of fleet safety interventions. In Proceedings of the 42nd Universities Transport Study Group conference

Work related road traffic fatalities are the largest cause of work fatalities in the UK. It is estimated that 25% of UK road accidents involve someone driving for work. This risk profile makes fleet safety an important topic for study as it can have... Read More about Evaluation of fleet safety interventions..

Modelling pedestrian movement on sidewalks (2007)
Journal Article
Raeside, R., & Al-Azzawi, M. (2007). Modelling pedestrian movement on sidewalks. Journal of Urban Planning and Development, 133, 211-219. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%290733-9488%282007%29133%3A3%28211%29

Several models have been created over the years that are used in simulation packages to predict pedestrian speed and flow on sidewalks. However, the predictive power of these models has been weak. In this paper the results of a modeling exercise in t... Read More about Modelling pedestrian movement on sidewalks.

Modelling the effects of transport policy levers on fuel efficiency and national fuel consumption (2000)
Journal Article
Kirby, H. R., Hutton, B., McQuaid, R. W., Raeside, R., & Zhang, X. (2000). Modelling the effects of transport policy levers on fuel efficiency and national fuel consumption. Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment, 5(4), 265-282. https://doi.org/10.1016/S1361-9209%2899%2900037-1

The paper provides an overview of the main features of a Vehicle Market Model (VMM) which estimates changes to vehicle stock/kilometrage, fuel consumed and CO2 emitted. It is disaggregated into four basic vehicle types. The model includes: the trends...

An investigation into the relationships between area social characteristics and road accident casualties (1997)
Journal Article
Abdalla, I. M., Raeside, R., Barker, D., & McGuigan, D. R. (1997). An investigation into the relationships between area social characteristics and road accident casualties. Accident analysis and prevention, 29(5), 583-593. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0001-4575%2897%2900011-0

This paper reports on the analysis of a data base created by merging road casualty information and census data for the former Lothian region in Scotland. The data base was established by assigning resident postcodes to each casualty record and relati...
