Description
The current research examines the road safety aspects of Motorcycle Rickshaws (MRs). MRs are motorcycle driven three-wheeled paratransit vehicles that appear to be the largest informal public transport mode in Pakistan. There are widespread public concerns about their negative effects on safety, traffic flow, and air and noise pollution, but little relevant research or government policy exists because of the lack of registration systems for these vehicles and under-reporting in police crash data. In response to this identified gap in knowledge, this doctoral program was undertaken to: (1) examine the road safety aspects of MRs, and (2) identify appropriate policy measures and strategies that could improve the road safety of MRs.
Impact and interest:
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.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
