Developing a theoretical framework for improved practical application of a coordinated response in road safety

(2017) Developing a theoretical framework for improved practical application of a coordinated response in road safety. PhD by Publication, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This thesis develops ten conceptual tools for investigating, designing, implementing and evaluating coordinated road safety countermeasures at a local level in Australia by examining coordinated responses at the practical, conceptual and systemic layers. Practical level tools include a descriptive model of coordinated responses, two continua of public approval and a typology. At the conceptual level they include a strategy development model, a coordination model, predictors of optimal coordination and a typology. At the systemic level, the thesis identifies the need to manage road safety in a more decentralised manner, by adopting principles from Dynamic Systems Theory and the descriptive model.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
