(Southern African Transport Conference, 2019)South Africa is known for its high level of road fatalities, which continues to hamper socio-economic development and impact the well-being of all South Africans. Road traffic and fatal crash information are reported on a ...
-
Disruptive Transport Technologies: Forecasting the Impact on Road-Generated Revenues in South Africa (Southern African Transport Conference, 2019)Disruptive transport technologies have been present since the industrial revolution, creating a future that was not directly foreseen, for instance, the invention of the steam locomotive that replaced horse-drawn carts. ...
-
(Southern African Transport Conference, 2019)This paper investigates the phenomenon of South African drivers using the hard shoulder of the road as an unofficial turning lane. Due to the increasing number of vehicles on our roads, drivers often experience heavy ...
-
(Southern African Transport Conference, 2019)Cities are traditionally built along a high-capacity public transport backbone, thus increasing opportunities at points of accessibility. The Gauteng City Region (GCR) is not built on a strong mass transit backbone, there ...
-
(Southern African Transport Conference, 2019)Driving is an activity which requires full concentration, which means that the driver needs to concentrate on physically controlling the vehicle, mentally making good decisions and at the same time, monitoring the driving ...
-
(Southern African Transport Conference, 2019)Paratransit services in Sub-Saharan Africa have developed a reputation for poor service quality. Several reforms have been initiated to improve or formalize the sector. Notable amongst these are transitions from cash to ...
-
(Southern African Transport Conference, 2019)Several studies were conducted to improve road safety along national roads, but limited work has been done to examine the pedestrian acceptance of road safety interventions under field conditions. Previous work and studies ...
