Sorry ev, I've checked but no luck. The thread title does remind me of that song "I need a dollar..." though :p

I couldn't get it either, sorry :-(

H

really sorry, no access for me either. Have you tried emailing the authors?

I couldn't get it either, Ev. I am sorry!

Thanks for trying everybody - it seems that very few unis have access to this particular journal

I did try Ev the first time you posted but no joy. One library I have access to has it in hardcopy. If you look at the website of the transportation research board itself it says
"A full compilation of titles since the 2002 series of the Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board (TRR Journal) is accessible electronically" and goes on to state "... the full text of as many as 9,000 peer-reviewed papers that have been published as part of the Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board (TRR Journal) series since 1996."

- it looks like 1981 may be tough to get electronically but I could be wrong - I often am! Maybe try contacting them direct - they might post you a hardcopy of the article. I did that with a paper once and got it through regular mail. The website has a contact us section at http://www.trb.org/Contact/Contact.aspx

Hi Ev,

I have put a request on ArticleReach - inter university library loan. They would usually try and get this article from any of the other universities who have access to this journal. I will write back once I get the article. I hope they will be able to find it :-)

Cheers!

Thanks Ady & thanks Cinderella. Ady I had seen that on their website alright but thought I'd try the forum on the off chance that I might get lucky. Unfortunately my Uni doesn't have a subscription to this journal at all. Cinderella it would be great if you do manage to get the article after all!!

Hi Ev, I just wanted to tell you that I haven't received the article yet. I will write to you as soon as I get it :-) I requested couple of my friends and they couldn't get it either.

Cheers!

Hi Ev, I got an email from ArticleReach saying that they couldn't get this article :-( I am extremely sorry about it. By any chance did you manage to get it? I tried with some of my friends who are doing PhDs in different countries/universities but none of them could get it. Perhaps it will be worth it to write to the authors and request it. Good luck (up)

Hi Cinderella. Thank you so much for going to so much trouble to get this article for me!! You really went beyond the call of duty - if you ever need the favour returned don't hesitate to ask(up)

I have e-mailed the authors so fingers crossed they'll send it to me!

Thanks again,
EV
