Project 1. The influence of micrometeorological factors on air
quality within urban street canyons. (Andrew Jackson)
Project 2. Investigating the degree of rationality in the decision
to use a car as a method of transport. (Mike Palmer)
Project 3. An investigation of socio-economic factors affecting
mode choice. (Chris Bates)
Project 4. An evaluation of a quota system to decrease the use
of cars in Leeds. (Charlotte Craig).
Project 5. Developing the local rail network in West Yorkshire.
(Anzir Boodoo).
During the early part of phase II both projects 3 and 5 changed their focus slightly. The revised project titles are:
3. An evaluation of public attitudes towards traffic calming
5. An analysis on the demand for rail travel to out of town shopping
centres.
Project 1 began the process by analysing air quality on a congested urban radial within the suburb of Headingley, Leeds. From this project 2 investigated the rational behind different types of car journeys and what incentives it would take to make the public use alternative forms of transport including both push and pull factors. Projects 3 to 5 analysed the effectiveness of several options for reducing congestion (and improving the air quality in the Headingly area) by promoting modal change away from the car. Project 1 was to finish the process with an evaluation of several traffic reduction scenarios on air quality within the Headingley street area.
