The Survivors

A study of homeless young newcomers to London and the responses made to them

By: D. Brandon,K. Wells,C. Francis,E. Ramsay

First published in 1980, The Survivors is a detailed and original study of the experiences of homeless young people in central London. The book is based on in-depth interviews with 107 ‘newcomers’, who were selected at two nightshelters and a government reception centre. Their views and experiences are recorded, their backgrounds described and their reasons for coming to London examined. We learn how they coped with the interventions of both those who want to hinder and those who want to help, and how in general they survived – and sometimes even enjoyed themselves – in an extreme environment. The authors also examine the ways in which the various helping agencies view the ‘problem’. They claim that the agencies tend to present a pessimistic picture – one that understates the resilience and resourcefulness of these young people, dismisses their spirit of their adventure, and concentrates almost exclusively on the dangers, difficulties and hardships. This book will be of interest to students of sociology, urban studies, public policy and economics.

Performance Based Standards for Heavy Vehicles in Australia

Field of Performance Measures

By: P. F. Sweatman,Roaduser International,E. Ramsay,J. Lambert,Hans Prem

The limitations of traditional approaches to the regulation of heavy vehicles on the basis of length, height, width and axle mass are increasingly apparent; constraints on innovation in vehicle design, and risks to road safety, efficient traffic operations and infrastructure. The current incremental approach or "creep" is also a significant concern for the transport industry, as are the limitations to innovation and productivity of an overly prescriptive approach to regulation. As the first step in the establishment of performance standards, Roaduser International Pty Ltd and ARRB Transport Research Ltd were commissioned by the National Road Transport Commission (NRTC) and Austroads to investigate and document the field of performance standards which are considered relevant for heavy vehicles. The performance measures described represent a comprehensive list relating to the key outcomes of safety performance, traffic impacts, geometric effects, access and infrastructure effects. productivity and amenity measures are also identified. The report identifies, defines and explores a core group of performance measures for practical use in PBS and also considers the extent to which these measures are influenced by road and traffic conditions. Consideration is also given to the practical implications of the core performance measures for use in regulations and consequent issues for compliance and enforcement.
