(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-10-02)Based on recent studies, this paper examines whether an increased use of electronic stability control can replace studded tyres. A re-analysis of a study that evaluated the effects on accidents of changes in the use of ... -
Can evolutionary theory explain the slow development of knowledge about the level of safety built into roads?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-06-13)In several papers, Hauer (1988, 1989, 2000a, 2000b, 2016) has argued that the level of safety built into roads is unpremeditated, i.e. not the result of decisions based on knowledge of the safety impacts of design standards. ... -
Can it be true that most drivers are safer than the average driver?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-06-27)Surveys finding that a large majority of drivers regard themselves as safer than the average driver have been ridiculed as showing that most drivers are overconfident about their safety and as showing something which is ... -
Can the use of road safety measures on national roads in Norway be interpreted as an informal application of the ALARP principle?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-11-24)The ALARP principle, stating that risks should be reduced to a level “As Low As Reasonably Practicable”, is widely known and discussed in risk management. The principle is flexible, as the interpretation of the key concepts ... -
Capacity reduction on urban main roads: How truck drivers adapted, and what effects and consequences they experienced
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-03)Urban freight transport is an important issue in sustainable mobility discussions. It constitutes a significant proportion of urban traffic, and expected negative impacts for urban freight transport can be arguments against ... -
Capturing the least costly way of reducing pollution: A shadow price approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-05-18)The production analysis literature is increasingly concerned with estimating marginal abatement costs. Yet, most studies do not emphasize the ways in which pollutants may be reduced and their costs, which makes them unable ... -
Car drivers' valuation of landslide risk reductions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-28)Approximately one car occupant per year is killed as a result of landslides or avalanches in Norway, compared to 150–200 fatalities due to accidents. Still, protection from landslides is a major transport safety issue, ... -
Car sharing and transformations in households travel patterns: Insights from emerging proto-practices in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-03-18)Over the last decades car sharing has been recognized as a socio-technical innovation that can help to reduce or replace the use of fossil-fueled private cars in urban regions. To understand how car sharing may be used in ... -
