Owning identity-one or many-do we have a choice? (2010)
Journal Article
Wigan, M. (2010). Owning identity-one or many-do we have a choice?. IEEE technology & society magazine, 29, 33-38. https://doi.org/10.1109/MTS.2010.937026

The rapid growth of databases, biometrics, and RFID has led to an environment where identity-related technologies are approaching a critical mass as a potential means of controlling the population. The essential aspects of these diverse technical adv... Read More about Owning identity-one or many-do we have a choice?.

Stochastic based models for low volume road (LVR) network management. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mandiartha, P., Duffield, C. F., Thompson, R. G., & Wigan, M. (2010). Stochastic based models for low volume road (LVR) network management.

A major challenge faced by road authorities is to manage road networks within budget constraints and the uncertainty associated in predicting future performance of pavements; this is particularly true for the low volume road network. Road authorities... Read More about Stochastic based models for low volume road (LVR) network management..

The passenger car unit values of motorcycles at the beginning of a green period and in a saturation flow. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lee, T., Polak, J. W., Bell, M. G. H., & Wigan, M. (2010). The passenger car unit values of motorcycles at the beginning of a green period and in a saturation flow.

The aim of this study is to estimate the Passenger Car Unit
(PCU) values of motorcycles in two traffic environments: at
the beginning of a green period and in a saturation flow.
Motorcycles are able to undertake both lane-based and
non-lane-based... Read More about The passenger car unit values of motorcycles at the beginning of a green period and in a saturation flow..

The PCU values of motorcycles in congested flow. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lee, T., Polak, J. W., Bell, M. G. H., & Wigan, M. (2010). The PCU values of motorcycles in congested flow.

PCU (Passenger Car Unit) values are used in traffic management and transportation planning to calculate the flow volume in mixed traffic. However, the impact of motorcycles on road capacity is difficult to measure due to their ability to undertake bo... Read More about The PCU values of motorcycles in congested flow..

A hybrid microsimulation model of urban freight travel demand. (2010)

The role of contestable processes in advancing sustainability in transport and planning. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wigan, M. (2010). The role of contestable processes in advancing sustainability in transport and planning.

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..

Identity, contestability and ethics of unified virtualisation of society. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wigan, M. (2010). Identity, contestability and ethics of unified virtualisation of society. In 2010 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS) (399-405). https://doi.org/10.1109/ISTAS.2010.5514616

Virtualisation (the replacement of physical representation by bits) in society is placing great pressures on individuals and society. The progressive loss of legal multiple identities raises major ethical and practical implications, and is being acce...
