The CRoss-modal Intervention To Improve Cycling Awareness Levels (CRITICAL) project will develop and evaluate a cross-modal training program to improve cycling safety. The project will train car drivers to interact with cyclists and cyclists to interact with car drivers. This will enable both road users to understand risky behaviours and develop higher levels of awareness for the other road user. The Transport Research Group (TRG) is running multiple studies to strengthen the training interventions, with staff and students falling into the cyclist, driver and driver – cyclists categories. We would like to ask staff and students to participate in a focus group on Boldrewood Campus.
The TRG is looking for people aged over 18, who fall into one of the three categories to take part in a focus group study; Cyclists: only cycle and don’t have a UK driver’s license; Drivers: who don’t ride a bike; and driver – cyclists: who use both a bike and vehicle at least once a week. You will be required to attend a one-off focus group session (approx. one hour) alongside other participants who are in the same user group. You’ll be presented with a series of questions and scenarios that are related to cycling and driving and asked to discuss your views, along with other participants.
If you would like to take part in the study, please email Matthew Webster at [email protected] who can answer any further questions. The TRG is aiming to run the focus groups in the next few weeks (beginning of February).
