Modelling and evaluating the joint access mode and train station choice. This project will study park-and-ride (PnR) as an alternative travel mode, reducing car use and increasing transit ridership in low-density cities. The potential impacts of parking charges and high petrol price are central issues. Choice modelling and spatial analysis will be used to assess the value of PnR and aid decisions on PnR location and pricing.
CATCH: Children, Active Travel, Connectedness and Health. This project will explore built and social environmental influences on children's independent mobility, active travel and health. The research will provide necessary evidentiary support to justify government and development industry policy supportive of healthy and child-friendly environments.
Safer cycling and the urban road environment. This project aims to improve the safety of cyclists while maintaining mobility in the urban road environment. By focusing on the safety of one of the most vulnerable road user groups the safety gains will benefit all road users. New urban road designs will be evaluated using Australia's first cycling simulator.
