Modelling behavioural responses to road tolling. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Martinez, E., & Stewart, K. (2012, January). Modelling behavioural responses to road tolling. Paper presented at 44th Annual Conference of the University Transport Study Group

Microsimulation modelling is a widely accepted tool in the assessment of the impact of a wide
variety of transport schemes. The robustness of a model depends on the accuracy with which traffic behaviour is
represented. In the case of road pricing t... Read More about Modelling behavioural responses to road tolling..

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.

Link-Based Route Choice Considering Risk Aversion, Disappointment, and Regret (2012)
Journal Article
Fonzone, A., Schmöcker, J.-D., Ma, J., & Fukuda, D. (2012). Link-Based Route Choice Considering Risk Aversion, Disappointment, and Regret. Transportation research record, 2322(1), 119-128. https://doi.org/10.3141/2322-13

In networks with uncertain link travel times route guidance information should consider traveller preferences (1). Risk-averse travellers prefer safer options but might feel unsatisfied if it turns out that their decision has been based on wrong expe...

Enhancing the effectiveness of travel awareness campaigns via the inclusion of theoretical-based content. (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Carreno, M., Gauce, K., & Welsch, J. (2011, May). Enhancing the effectiveness of travel awareness campaigns via the inclusion of theoretical-based content

Travel awareness campaigns are one of the most commonly used ‘mobility management interventions’, which aim to change individuals’ travel choices and behaviour to more sustainable transport modes. However, despite the widespread uptake of this measur... Read More about Enhancing the effectiveness of travel awareness campaigns via the inclusion of theoretical-based content..
