“Martin Cassini”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Cassini has contributed to Economic Affairs (journal of the Institute of Economic Affairs), The Times, Guardian, Daily Telegraph, BBC Newsnight and Traffic Technology International.

Cassini's reforms overlap with the shared space movement of Hans Monderman and Ben Hamilton-Baillie, which is demonstrating in Bohmte and Drachten that peaceful coexistence can flourish when road-users are free to use their own judgement on roads designed to stimulate rather than enforce appropriate conduct.^[6]^[7] His ideas also echo the theory of spontaneous order,^[8] which states that the more complex the dance of human movement (e.g. a skateboard park), the less useful are attempts to control it.

Cassini helped instigate a lights-off trial in Portishead, Somerset,^[9] which began on 14 September 2009. Conducted in association with North Somerset Council and Colin Buchanan, it went permanent after journey times fell by over 50% with no loss of pedestrian safety, despite greater numbers now using the route (over 2000 vehicles and 300 pedestrians an hour).^[10]^[11]

Minor trials took place in Westminster, Oxford, and Bristol in 2009.^[12] But deregulation is not enough on its own, says Cassini. It needs to be accompanied by changes in road design, culture, the driving test and the law.^[13]

Cassini is a member of the International Advisory Council of the Kyoto World Cities New Mobility Program.^[14]

In the shared-space model, as vehicles filter at virtual tick-over revs, they are getting somewhere. But in the standard traffic management model, as they idle and get nowhere fast, they use a quarter of the fuel and emit a quarter of the CO2. When they restart, engine revs – along with fuel use and CO2 – reach a peak. |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101105224436/http://www.fitroads.com/NoIdleMatter.pdf |archivedate=5 November 2010 |df=dmy-all }}
