My Research Areas
My primary research interests lie in the processes underlying the formulation and implementation of transport policy.
In particular, I am interested in 'mobility management' measures – i.e. measures that aim to manage car use more effectively. The reason is that while car use can be a major benefit to the lives of individuals, excessive levels of car use can cause significant economic, social and environmental problems for society as a whole.
Consequently, my research is divided into three:
- Policies aimed at reducing car use (e.g. through parking measures, various forms of transport taxes and travel plans).
- Policies aimed at improving alternatives to the car (e.g. through improving support for bus services, Demand Responsive Transport systems, and car clubs).
- Finally, I have an interest in looking at transport systems and policies at a macro level, in particular through studies of islands such as Mauritius, Cuba, Malta, Singapore and Japan.
