UK transport policy has shifted dramatically in recent years. The new policy direction seeks to promote walking as an alternative to the car for short trips. Midblock signalled pedestrian crossings are a common method of resolving the conflict between pedestrians and vehicles. This paper considers alternative operating strategies for midblock signalled pedestrian crossings that are more respons...

In general, the study of recommender systems emphasizes the efficiency of techniques to provide accurate recommendations rather than factors influencing users’ acceptance of the system; however, accuracy alone cannot account for users’ satisfying experience. Bearing in mind this gap in the research, we apply the technology acceptance model (TAM) to evaluate user acceptance of a recommender syst...

Accidents involving pedestrians are particularly common at unsignalised intersections and mid-block crosswalks, where vehicles often do not yield to them. Analysing understanding pedestrian crossing behaviour such locations is vital for improving road safety. Previous studies have repeatedly shown that tend accept smaller time gaps in conditions with higher vehicle speeds thus potentially less ...

The recent advent of social networking has changed the way people communicate and connect with each other. As a result, several studies have been conducted on social networking, but they rarely touched on the user acceptance of social networking by employees. This study, in turn, attempts to fill this gap by explaining the user acceptance of social networking by proposing a research model for t...

The nature and potential benefit of awareness and experiential acceptance in adolescence remains neglected and understudied. To address this gap in the literature, 776 students (50% female) in Grade 10 completed measures of mindfulness, emotional awareness, and experiential acceptance, as well as measures of major personality traits. To study prospective changes, assessments of emotional well-b...

This report addresses an important need for fundamental understanding of bicycleautomobile mixed-traffic. It presents models of (1) gap acceptance behavior and (2) bicyclist behavior at the onset of a yellow traffic signal indication, in addition to analysis of (3) coordinating traffic signals to provide (simultaneous) progression for both bicycles and automobiles. Fundamental insights into mix...

Despite the recognition that information system acceptance is an important antecedent of effective emergency management, there has been comparatively very little research examining this aspect of technology acceptance. The current research responded to this gap in literature by adapting and integrating existing models of technology acceptance. This was done in order to examine how a range of te...
