Developing geographical indicators of mileage-related costs / Hindle, G. A. in Journal of the operational research society (JORS), Vol. 61 N° 5 (Mai 2010) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of the operational research society (JORS) > Vol. 61 N° 5 (Mai 2010) . - pp. 714–722 Titre : Developing geographical indicators of mileage-related costs : a case study exploring travelling public services in English local areas Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Hindle, G.

Hindle, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : pp. 714–722 Note générale : Recherche opérationnelle Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Public  expenditure  Government  Regional  studies  Regression  Transport Index. décimale : 001.424 Résumé : The context of this study is the public sector provision of services involving travelling in local authority areas in England. Such travelling services are costly and the relative levels of these costs across different local areas have raised a number of policy issues, particularly how performance assessments of local authorities and capitation-based funding by central government take into account (or fail to take into account) the differential travel costs faced in geographical areas that differ in population dispersion (sparsity) characteristics. The research presented here is concerned with identifying and evaluating practical indicators of mileage-related costs faced in local areas and a range of indicators have been explored for three services: domiciliary care, refuse collection and home-to-school transport. The findings suggest that currently used population dispersion indicators could be improved and that the current sparsity allowances in England underestimate the relative cost effects by a considerable amount.

Safety cameras and road accidents: effectiveness in local authority areas in England / Hindle, G. A. in Journal of the operational research society (JORS), Vol. 62 N° 7 (Juillet 2011) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of the operational research society (JORS) > Vol. 62 N° 7 (Juillet 2011) . - pp. 1181–1188 Titre : Safety cameras and road accidents: effectiveness in local authority areas in England Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Hindle, G. A., Auteur ; Hindle, T., Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 1181–1188 Note générale : Recherche opérationnelle Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Public  expenditure  Government  Regional  studies  Transport  Regression Index. décimale : 001.424 Résumé : Safety cameras have been central to strategy for improving road safety in the UK (and other countries) over the past decade and a National Safety Camera (NSC) programme was introduced in the year 2000 to fund and guide the expansion of camera sites. This programme was brought to an end in 2007 and responsibility for decisions on expanding, maintaining or rolling back safety cameras has now been largely devolved to local highway authorities and their partners. To make strategic choices in such areas it is clearly vital to understand the extent to which safety cameras are effective in reducing road accident potential. Although the NSC programme has been evaluated this work has focussed mainly on assessments of impacts at camera sites rather than wider area effects: particularly local highway area effects. The research reported here has explored the rates of personal injury collisions (PIC) over the past decade on the roads of English Local Authority areas and investigated relationships between area characteristics including levels of safety camera introductions and the PIC improvements (or otherwise) reported. To assist in this analysis, an indicator of safety camera intensity has been derived in this research to reflect the relative likelihood in areas of coming into contact with safety camera sites This work shows that area improvement rates differ significantly on an urban/rural dimension and are also very dependent on prior (to camera introductions) levels of PIC risk. Controlling for these factors using a pair comparison approach, analysis shows that safety camera introduction effects are statistically detectable in very highly urbanised, high PIC risk areas and at high risk sites within areas but not elsewhere. Whilst recognising that new high risk sites can emerge in any area, the conclusion is reached that many local areas and especially more rural areas would be unlikely to gain advantage from a further general expansion of fixed point and mobile camera sites and that de-commissioning of current sites should be seriously considered.
