Developing a transition probability matrix as a measure of road network maintenance effectiveness. (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mandiartha, P., Duffield, C. F., Thompson, R. G., & Wigan, M. (2011, January). Developing a transition probability matrix as a measure of road network maintenance effectiveness. Presented at 90th Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board

This paper presents a study that assesses the effectiveness of road network maintenance based on historical costs and road roughness progression. The study is intended to measure the effectiveness of routine maintenance and a combination of routine a...

Enhancing community participation in Metropolitan strategic transport planning through shared analysis (2011)
Journal Article
Sunter, P., & Wigan, M. (2011). Enhancing community participation in Metropolitan strategic transport planning through shared analysis. Road and Transport Research Journal, 20, 24-35

This paper assesses and explores the existing potential for new approaches to software and data, such as the open source movement, to contribute to more open and contestable strategic land-use and transport planning processes. Issues with the current... Read More about Enhancing community participation in Metropolitan strategic transport planning through shared analysis.

The role of contestable processes in advancing sustainability in transport and planning (2011)
Journal Article
Wigan, M. (2011). The role of contestable processes in advancing sustainability in transport and planning. Road and Transport Research Journal, 20, 32-40

Sustainable transport requires not only solid evidence to support policy and practice, but also to allow this to be examined with a high degree of transparency. Not all technical reports have the supporting evidence (or indeed models) made readily av... Read More about The role of contestable processes in advancing sustainability in transport and planning.

You are where you’ve been: the privacy implications of location and tracking technologies (2011)
Journal Article
Clarke, R., & Wigan, M. (2011). You are where you’ve been: the privacy implications of location and tracking technologies. Journal of Location Based Services, 5(3-4), 138-155. https://doi.org/10.1080/17489725.2011.637969

A decade ago, technologies that could provide information about the location of a motor vehicle, or a computer, or a person, were in their infancy. A wide range of tools are now in use and in prospect, which threaten to strip away another layer of th...

The kinematic features of motorcycles in congested urban networks (2011)
Journal Article
Lee, T.-C., Polak, J. W., Bell, M. G. H., & Wigan, M. (2012). The kinematic features of motorcycles in congested urban networks. Accident analysis and prevention, 49, 203-211. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aap.2011.04.002

The aim of this paper is to compare the kinematic features of motorcycles with those of passenger cars in urban traffic. The hypothesis that motorcycles’ capability to swerve in urban traffic contributes to their seemingly assertive behaviour is exam...
