The UTSG Electronic Mailing List
An Email based mailing list has been established by the Universities Transport Study Group (UTSG). The list provides an electronic discussion forum and information resource for researchers in the field of transport primarily, but not exclusively, in the academic community.
The list was established in October 1993, and has a steadily growing membership, including researchers in all continents of the World.
The aim of the list is to facilitate information sharing, (e.g. news of new research, conferences, seminars and workshops) and to promote links, collaborative working, joint problem-solving and mutual support. Depending on the level of usage of the list and on demand, sub-lists may be set up in the future for special interests or particular types of information.
The list is administered by the Institute for Transport Studies, University of Leeds. It is one of several hundred lists managed by the JISCmail facility funded by the Higher and Further Education Councils of the UK.

Hi David
I was interested to read about your book so had a quick look at the website. I’m particularly interested in inclusive cycling (ie for disabled people) so was surprised to find (under the section "The less well off lose out again"):
"The evidence is sparse and much of the health debate in transport is over trying to get more people walking and cycling. This provides an excellent starting point; it is beneficial for personal health and for the quality of the local environment, and these forms of transport are available to all, but the disabled.“ [...]

Transport, Tourism and Environmental Crisis
Guest Editor: Dr Debbie Hopkins, University of Oxford, Debbie.hopkins@ouce.ox.ac.uk<mailto:Debbie.hopkins@ouce.ox.ac.uk>
This special issue seeks to examine the complex relationships between transport, tourism mobilities and environmental crises. Drawing from interdisciplinary thinking on risks, hazards, and crises, the special issue seeks wide-ranging contributions that uncover the socio-political, ethical, cultural, and spatial dimensions of environmental crises and their intersections with tourism. Such crises are diverse in scale, geographical, socio-cultural and economic impacts, system effects and more. This includes the often-reported [...]

My report, "Autonomous Vehicle Implementation Predictions: Implications
for Transport Planning" (www.vtpi.org/avip.pdf ) investigates how
quickly self-driving vehicles are likely to be developed and deployed,
and their penetration into new vehicle markets and vehicle fleets, based
on experience with previous vehicle technologies. It also evaluates
their benefits and costs, and how they are likely to affect travel
demands and planning decisions such as optimal road, parking and public
transit supply. This analysis indicates that some benefits, such as more
independent mobility for affluent non-drivers, may begin in the 2020s or

Dear Tom
I am currently working on rather more basic transport problems in the
South Pacific, but I retain an interest in research on new urban and
rural road technologies

of rail projects. One aspect which recurred was the striking
difference between assumptions on the reliability of old and new
proposals and the manner in which system breakdown might occur. Yes, we
knew all about the problems of the existing, but it was very hard to

I am sure I am not alone in being asked the question how MaaS and CAVs may affect the future operation of transport systems. Some colleagues have responded to that challenge by developing new transport modelling approaches, for example agent-based models, and I have seen some impressive results.
However, from what I have seen, rather than the model approach, it is mainly the assumptions about the new mode alternatives that determine the outcomes, irrespective of whether these are applied in traditional four-step models or using more advanced techniques. For example, what is the assumed speed or road capacity increase [...]
