Travel difficulties and barriers during later life
Defining the social value of transport infrastructure
A value proposition articulates the essence of a business, defining how products and services are assembled and delivered to final users in order to meet their needs. Maslow developed value curves of the human need groups relative to time, and the sum of the curves yields an almost sigmoid curve. Winters and others created transportation groups of needs including safety and security, time, societal acceptance, cost and comfort and convenience. Th…
Traffic pollution
Congestion and traffic-related pollution are typically the largest contributors to air pollution in cities. Rapid urbanization in developing countries has caused large-scale proliferation in motor vehicle use making cities increasingly congested and, subsequently, polluted. There is a growing awareness that the air quality status quo in East African cities is unacceptable. This paper uses the case of Nairobi, Kenya to discuss current traffic poll…
Imagineering Mobility
Over the past fifty years a growing body of work has sought to address the problem of planning for transportation in the long-term future through scenario building. Such thinking has generally been restricted to issues concerned with environmental sustainability and the 'images' of future transport so created are usually weak in terms of their social sustainability content, either treating social issues superficially, or ignoring them entirely, o…
Moving around the City
There remains only limited understanding of perceptions of travel behaviour in relation to short journeys in urban areas and, in particular, the perceived role that walking and cycling for personal travel can realistically play in contemporary society. This paper reveals discourses surrounding the practice, performance, identity, conflicts, and visions relating to walking and cycling in English cities. These were derived from a large-scale study …
Household decision-making for everyday travel
Visions for a walking and cycling focussed urban transport system
A comparison of three methods for assessing the walkability of the pedestrian environment
Visions for the future of transport
Many cities and national authorities have made substantial progress in developing transport strategies to reconcile environmental pressures with the increasing demand for travel. However, there is still some doubt as to what are the key ingredients of a successful strategy and progress in implementing such changes has been slow. Research is needed to better understand what are the essential ingredients to a balanced transport policy, the constrai…
Raising awareness of transport issues
Changes in the directions of transport policy in the UK in the last few years have led to a wider consideration of possible measures to bring about behavioural change, in particular measures which have the potential to reduce car dependence. Among the measures currently being implemented by local authorities are public awareness or travel awareness campaigns. This paper examines the findings of a research project which evaluated a travel awarenes…
