Karen Lucas is a senior research fellow with the Transport Studies Unit at Oxford University Over the past ten years, she has established an international reputation for her pioneering research looking at the role of transport in social exclusion and has published extensively on this topic. Her specialist research interest is in making evident the links between the social and environmental aspects of sustainable development, with a particular focus on meeting the needs of people living in deprived and excluded communities within developed societies.  Karen has been a policy advisor on transport and social exclusion to national and local government in the UK and abroad and is Book Review Editor for the Journal of Transport Geography and a member of its Editorial Board. She is an overseas representative for the US Transportation Research Board's Environmental Justice and Social and Economic Factors in Transportation Committees and a founder member of the coordinating team for the UK Government’s Sustainable Development Research Network and continues to act as a member of its Advisory Committee.

David Banister is Professor of Transport Studies at the School of Geography and the Environment (SoGE), University of Oxford. Since 2009 he has also been the Acting Director of the Environmental Change Institute in SoGE. Before he joined SoGE, he was Professor of Transport Planning at University College, London. He has also been Research Fellow at the Warren Centre in the University of Sydney (2001-2002) on the Sustainable Transport for a Sustainable City project.  Over the past 20 years he has built up an international reputation as one of the leading UK researchers in transport and planning analysis. His research interests include: transport investment decisions and economic development, policy scenarios for sustainable mobility, transport and sustainable development – reducing the need to travel, transport planning methods and their application to policy decisions, and modelling of energy and emissions from transport modes in urban areas and regions. He is editor of Transport Reviews and Built Environment and on the editorial board of a further 6 key international transport journals. He has authored and edited 19 books that summarise his own research and some of the international projects that he has been involved with. He has also authored (or co-authored) more than 150 papers in international refereed journals, together with a similar number of other papers in journals or as contributions to books.

Dr Jillian Anable is a Senior Lecturer at the Centre for Transport Research, University of Aberdeen. She is an expert in travel behaviour, climate change and energy policy with particular emphasis on the potential for demand-side solutions. She has developed methods of applying social psychological theories of behaviour and market segmentation techniques to assess the potential to influence travel and car choice. Recent research has specialised in the monitoring and evaluation of travel behaviour in response to ‘soft measures’ or ‘smarter choice’ interventions as well as the likely consumer response to electric vehicle technology.

Tim Schwanen is a Research Fellow at the Transport Studies Unit which is part of the School of Geography and the Environment at the University of Oxford. He is also a lecturer in urban geography at the Department of Human Geography and Planning, Utrecht University, The Netherlands. Over the past decade he has done research and published extensively about a range of issues, including the link between the built environment activity/travel behaviour, the use of information and communication technologies in everyday life, mobility in old age, space-time accessibility analysis and research methodologies. In his current research he tries to combine ideas, perspectives and methodologies from social and cultural geography with approaches, concepts and methods that are more commonly used in transport studies.
