The uptake of e-scooters as an alternative mode travel has risen sharply in recent years; however, their safety is less-understood compared to other modes travel. For the first time extant literature, we explore association between neighbourhood characteristics and e-scooter Greater London, UK. We found that, over study period, expected crash frequency was highest City followed by West End, then St. James's―both wards located borough Westminster central London. that frequencies increase with...

Traffic safety around schools is a major concern for policy makers and as such interventions are often targeted near schools. This paper shows the importance of accounting potential endogeneity proximity to school when attempting estimate its impact on traffic safety. In this research, we use Bayesian simultaneous econometric approach with heterogeneity in covariance disentangle true effect cyclist injury frequencies at signalised intersections an urban setting. We assess robustness...

Walking as a mode of travel alleviates congestion, pollution and concerns over physical fitness. However, safety might be barrier for some people to walking more often, so finding ways improve pedestrian is important. This paper conducts ward-level study Greater London such that factors which are associated with can identified interventions appropriately targeted. A wide range relating exposure, land use, built natural environment, socio-demographics, including markers deprivation were...

In most countries worldwide, the transport sector is responsible for a large proportion of energy consumption, emissions which have adverse effects on environment and human health. It therefore important to understand determinants road consumption in an attempt minimise these effects. This paper examines association both personal freight uses, has with number area-level factors, covering host socio-economic, built travel mode choice variables. We considered England as our case study, using...
