Local self-determination, process-focus and subordination of environmental concerns
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-04-21)Globalization and region enlargement has increased the emphasis of local authorities on being competitive for inward investment and taxpayers. This can lead to a subordination of environmental concerns. In order to secure ... -
Environmental efficiency measurement and the materials balance condition reconsidered
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-11)This note takes up a shortcoming of Coelli et al.’s (2007) popular environmental efficiency measure and its extension to economic-environmental trade-off analysis (see Van Meensel et al. (2010)), namely that they do not ... -
A survey of vehicle fires in Norwegian road tunnels 2008-2011
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-12-31)Norway is one of the countries that constructs most road tunnels, and there are well over 1000 in the country today. The aim of this study is to map the prevalence and describe the characteristics of vehicle fires in ... -
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 ... -
A Review of Research on Driving Styles and Road Safety
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-06-30)Objective: The aim of this study was to outline a conceptual framework for understanding driving style and, on this basis, review the state-of-the-art research on driving styles in relation to road safety. Background: ... -
Safety outcomes of internationalization of domestic road haulage: a review of the literature
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-11-20)The European Union (EU) promotes gradual lifting of restrictions on foreign hauliers involved in domestic road transport of goods (cabotage), and a major deregulation was scheduled in 2014. Due to complaints from several ... -
Public transport and people with impairments – exploring non-use of public transport through the case of Oslo, Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-11)Despite the attention given to universal design in recent years, many people with impairments still refrain from travelling on public transport. This explorative case study, conducted in the greater Oslo region in Norway, ... -
Rolling out the red (and green) carpet: supporting driver decision making in automation-to-manual transitions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-28)This paper assessed four types of human-machine interfaces (HMIs), classified according to the stages of automation proposed by Parasuraman et al. [“A model for types and levels of human interaction with automation,” IEEE ... -
A re-parameterisation of the Power Model of the relationship between the speed of traffic and the number of accidents and accident victims
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-07-26)This paper presents a re-analysis of the Power Model of the relationship between the mean speed of traffic and road safety. Past evaluations of the model, most recently in 2009, have broadly speaking supported it. However, ... -
How planners' use and non-use of expert knowledge affect the goal achievement potential of plans : Experiences from strategic land-use and transport planning processes in three Scandinavian cities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-06-20)This article addresses the question of how planners’ use and non-use of expert knowledge affect the content and goal achievement potential of plans, and discusses how changes in planners’ and researchers’ practices can ... -
Smartphones, travel time-use, and attitudes to public transport services. Insights from an explorative study of urban dwellers in two Norwegian cities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-02-08)The uptake of mobile media with internet connection has increased rapidly in almost every part of the world, and this has significantly changed how public transport passengers use their travel time. Studies have documented ... -
Can electronic stability control replace studded tyres?
(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 ... -
A statistical law in the perception of risks and physical quantities in traffic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-05-28)This paper suggests that a universal psychophysical law influences the perception of risks and physical quantities in traffic. This law states that there will be a tendency to overestimate low probabilities or small ... -
