Publication details: Kgs. Lyngby : Technical University of Denmark. DTU Management, 2022Description: 166 sSubject(s): Online resources: Abstract: The available literature on cyclists’ phone use is limited and has not been sufficiently updated along with technological developments, such as the switch from push-button phones to smartphones. Through three complimentary sub-studies this Ph.D.-project examines how individual, social, and contextual factors affect cyclists’ phone use. The foundation of the sub-studies are in-depth qualitative interviews, as well as questionnaire data collected before and after July 2019, when a ban was introduced against use of handheld electronic devices whilst cycling in the Netherlands.The available literature on cyclists’ phone use is limited and has not been sufficiently updated along with technological developments, such as the switch from push-button phones to smartphones.
