A stochastic-based performance prediction model of road network pavement maintenance (2012)
Journal Article
Mandiartha, P., Duffield, C. F., Thompson, R. G., & Wigan, M. (2012). A stochastic-based performance prediction model of road network pavement maintenance. Road and Transport Research Journal, 21, 34-52

This paper presents details of the development and implementation of a stochastic-based performance-prediction model using the Markov chains method for road network pavement maintenance. As well as the difficulty in the process of developing the tran... Read More about A stochastic-based performance prediction model of road network pavement maintenance.

Technical evaluation of an e-health platform. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lo, O., Fan, L., Buchanan, W. J., & Thuemmler, C. (2012, July). Technical evaluation of an e-health platform. Presented at IADIS International Conference e-Health 2012

Methodologies for evaluation of e-Health platforms are still lacking. We propose an e-Health evaluation framework that aims to provide a concise methodology for the evaluation of e-Health platforms under three main categories: usability evaluation, l...

Financial anatomy of the E4 Helsinki-Lahti shadow toll PPP-Project. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Leviäkangas, P., Wigan, M., & Haapasalo, H. J. O. (2012, April). Financial anatomy of the E4 Helsinki-Lahti shadow toll PPP-Project. Presented at Transport Research Arena

Purpose - Purpose: This paper investigates the returns to the investors and the state in private finance of road infrastructure. It uses an empirical case of the E4 Helsinki-Lahti road, which was built in 1995-1999 in Finland as the first real PPP-pr...

Accoya structural design guide to Eurocode 5. (2012)
Report
Lawrence, A., Marcroft, J., Crawford, D., & Hairstans, R. (2012). Accoya structural design guide to Eurocode 5. Edinburgh, Scotland: Accsys Technologies

Until now, using wood in damp external conditions for structural applications has been a real challenge, chiefly because of the risk of fungal attack. The most effective preservatives are by definition toxic and so have environmental issues both in u... Read More about Accoya structural design guide to Eurocode 5..

Estimating Weights of Times and Transfers for Hyperpath Travelers (2012)
Journal Article
Kurauchi, F., Schmoecker, J.-D., Fonzone, A., Hemdan, S. M. H., Shimamoto, H., & Bell, M. G. H. (2012). Estimating Weights of Times and Transfers for Hyperpath Travelers. Transportation research record, 2284, 89-99. https://doi.org/10.3141/2284-11

In high-frequency transit networks, travelers are often assumed to reduce their travel time by identifying sets of attractive lines. This concept was used in the development of most transit assignment models. Whether transfer penalties and waiting ti...

RDF recipes for context-aware interoperability in pervasive systems. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kosek, A., Syed, A., & Kerridge, J. (2010, June). RDF recipes for context-aware interoperability in pervasive systems. Presented at IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications 2010

Nowadays home automation systems integrate many devices from security system, heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, lighting system or audio-video systems. Every time a new device is installed, problems with connecting it to other devices... Read More about RDF recipes for context-aware interoperability in pervasive systems..

Addressing the issue of disadvantaged youth seeking work (2012)
Journal Article
Hollywood, E., Egdell, V., & McQuaid, R. W. (2012). Addressing the issue of disadvantaged youth seeking work. Social work & society, 10,

UK policy on unemployment and employability in recent decades has been driven by the view that work remains the best route out of poverty for most people. Employment activation policy has taken a ‘work first’ approach, aiming to place individuals in... Read More about Addressing the issue of disadvantaged youth seeking work.
