Martin J. H. Mogridge

Martin Mogridge (December 2, 1940 – February 29, 2000)[1] was a British transport researcher based in London. He proposed the Lewis–Mogridge Position that traffic varies in relation to the potential avenues of travel available, thus arguing that adding new roads to a transport network was potentially counter productive (see Braess' paradox) if a wider knowledge of local transport routes was not applied.
