Accessible Academics :
Professor Adrian L . Davies
I specialise in road transport and health impacts . This includes :
• Safe systems road safety which has involved some collaboration with Avon & Somerset Constabulary .
• Interventions which increase urban active travel use
• Effective intersectoral collaboration ( I describe myself as a boundary spanner in trying to achieve effective collaboration )
• Barriers to effective collaboration which include specialised discourses of knowledge and interpretations of evidence .
• Translational research for transport planners , engineers and urban designers who may have little or no access and knowledge of the peer reviewed evidence which is available in their fields of work but which are wholly apposite . See www . travelwest . info / evidence as an example of this workstream to de-jargonise peer reviewed evidence into short , understandable and usable summaries .
Adrian holds posts at both Edinburgh Napier University & the University of the West of England .
