Dear Sarah Can I suggest you seek out a very interesting paper in this area, by André Duarte, Camila Garcia, Gregory Giannarakis and Susana Limão, entitled New Approaches in Transportation Planning: Happiness and Transport Economics; from last year I think. Best wishes Bryan Bryan Matthews Senior Research Fellow Institute for Transport Studies and Centre for Disability Studies University of Leeds LS2 9JT United Kingdom Tel: +44 113 3435341 QUEEN'S ANNIVERSARY PRIZE WINNERS - 'sustained transport excellence' - www.its.leeds.ac.uk/queensprize -----Original Message----- From: Universities Transport Study Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Sarah Whitebread Sent: 21 February 2011 14:52 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [UTSG] Commuting and happiness project I am a postgraduate student at Cambridge University and for my dissertation am hoping to carry out a study into commuting and wellbeing. The research will build on findings by Kahneman (2006) that commuting is the least happy time in a persons day, and attempt to break this down by transport mode, length and type of journey. I wondered whether anyone on this list knew of any similar research, or papers generally on transport and wellbeing? I would very much appreciate any comments readers of this list have.
