Personal Tribute to Professor John Adams

I was very sorry to hear that my PhD supervisor, Emeritus Professor John Adams, died recently.  Last week the Guardian newspaper published an  obituary by his wife, Lynn Foster, which, in my opinion, captures the very essence of the man.  

John was a true thought-leader who changed the ways in which many of us now think about transport planning and risk management. Given his impact on my early academic career, I thought that I should prepare my own personal tribute to John, outlining some of his many achievements, original ideas and memorable statements.  I am deeply indebted to him for all his support as a research supervisor, a role model for thinking ‘out-of-the-box’ and getting involved in public policy debates and, of course, a life-long friend.
