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..

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..
