The 2023 Joint Airfield Damage Repair Symposium (JADRS) at Fort Liberty, North Carolina Open
The US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) and the 20th Engineer Brigade, 27th Engineer Battalion, executed the Joint Airfield Damage Repair Symposium from 5 to 14 June 2023. The event was a training experience for personn…
Estimating real-time crash risk at signalized intersections: A Bayesian Generalized Extreme Value approach Open
The current reactive road safety assessment cannot assess real-time crash risk at signalized intersections, and as such, the real-time risk mitigation strategies could not be developed. This shortcoming is mainly attributed to a lack of a …
Do Differences in Social Environments Explain Gender Differences in Recreational Walking across Neighbourhoods? Open
Within a city, gender differences in walking for recreation (WfR) vary significantly across neighbourhoods, although the reasons remain unknown. This cross-sectional study investigated the contribution of the social environment (SE) to exp…
The Impact of Different Incentive Policies on Hybrid Electric Vehicle Demand and Price: An International Comparison Open
Significant efforts to incentivize the uptake of energy efficient vehicles (EEVs) are evident across the globe. Given EEV markets are dynamic, and consumer demand may fluctuate in response to incentives, this may also lead to other market …
Using walkability measures to identify train stations with the potential to become transit oriented developments located in walkable neighbourhoods Open
Classifying train stations into typologies is a useful way to simplify their complex characteristics to assess their potential to become Transit Oriented Developments (TODs). However, researchers are yet to fully explore the walkability of…
Physical activity-related health and economic benefits of building walkable neighbourhoods: a modelled comparison between brownfield and greenfield developments Open
Our findings indicate that planning policies that create walkable neighbourhoods with access to shops, services and public transport will lead to substantial health and economic benefits associated with reduced incidence of physical inacti…

User satisfaction with train fares: A comparative analysis in five Australian cities Open
In the public transport industry, travellers' perceived satisfaction is a key element in understanding their evaluation of, and loyalty to ridership. Despite its notable importance, studies of customer satisfaction are under-represented in…
Comparing latent variable approach with observation removal and imputation to dealing with missing data in count regression models Open
Missing data can negatively affect the accuracy of parameter estimates in Safety Performance Functions (SPFs) and in turn can lead to incorrect inferences about crash contributing factors. A conventional approach to deal with missing data …
Prevalence and perception of following too close in Queensland Open
This paper reports on a three year multidisciplinary research project for Motor Accident Insurance Commission investigating the relationship between rear-end crashes and unsafe car-following behaviours in Queensland. The methodology combin…
Risk factors of mobile phone use while driving in Queensland: Prevalence, attitudes, crash risk perception, and task-management strategies Open
Distracted driving is one of the most significant human factor issues in transport safety. Mobile phone interactions while driving may involve a multitude of cognitive and physical resources that result in inferior driving performance and …
Effects of informative priors on spatial transferability of safety performance functions Open
The impact of crash contributing factors estimated by Safety Performance Functions (SPFs) is not consistent over the world due to spatial and geographic reasons. Thus, a SPF estimated in one region may not be suitable elsewhere. One possib…
Effects of roadway geometrics and traffic characteristics on drivers speeding behaviour Open
This study aims to investigate the effects of roadway geometric and site specific factors on speeding (i.e. driving over the speed limit) behaviour of drivers. A Panel Logit Fractional Split (PLFS) model is proposed to analyse the proporti…
Determinants of residential dissonance: Implications for transit-oriented development in Brisbane Open
Residential dissonance is the mismatch of land use patterns between individuals' actual and preferred neighbourhood type. It is a threat to land use based policy interventions, such as transit oriented development (TOD), aiming to enhance …
‘Gamification’ in transport interventions Open
‘Gamification’ is transforming how behaviour change initiatives are delivered in health and physical activity, with interventions now appearing in the transport field. Gamification is defined as the “use of game design elements in non-game…
Incorporating human factors into Gipps car-following model Open
Human factors such as distraction, fatigue, alcohol and drug use are generally ignored in car-following (CF) models. Such ignorance overestimates driver capability and leads to most CF models’ inability in realistically explaining human dr…
