City | Data | Future: envisioning interactions in hybrid urban space. (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mitrović, I., Smyth, M., Helgason, I., & Mitrovic, I. (2015, June). City | Data | Future: envisioning interactions in hybrid urban space. Presented at 2015 ACM SIGCHI Conference on Creativity and Cognition

The City | Data | Future installation is a collection of “design fiction” video scenarios that speculate about the experience of urban life and how it might change in the near future. These visions were collaboratively created over the course of an i... Read More about City | Data | Future: envisioning interactions in hybrid urban space..

An adaptive hybrid scheduling algorithm for LTE-Advanced (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barakat, B., & Arshad, K. (2015, April). An adaptive hybrid scheduling algorithm for LTE-Advanced. Presented at 2015 22nd International Conference on Telecommunications (ICT), Sydney, Australia

The 3 rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) introduced Long Term Evolution (LTE) in release 8, and afterwards it was updated significantly in later releases (referred to as LTE-Advanced). LTE and LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) aim to achieve higher spectral... Read More about An adaptive hybrid scheduling algorithm for LTE-Advanced.

You can’t say politics on the internet? (2015)
Digital Artefact
Ryan, B. (2015). You can’t say politics on the internet?. [http://eprints.whiterose.ac.uk/114803/1/Final-report-A-Manifesto-for-Digital-Messiness.pdf]

I have been interested in how governments use the internet to engage with citizens for a few years now. Of course, I’m very late to this party – e-democracy was ‘invented’ over 20 years ago. I didn’t start from there – I stumbled into researching how... Read More about You can’t say politics on the internet?.

A model of bus bunching under reliability-based passenger arrival patterns (2015)
Journal Article
Fonzone, A., Schmöcker, J., & Liu, R. (2015). A model of bus bunching under reliability-based passenger arrival patterns. Transportation Research Part C : Emerging Technologies, 59, 164-182. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trc.2015.05.020

If bus service departure times are not completely unknown to the passengers, non-uniform passenger arrival patterns can be expected. We propose that passengers decide their arrival time at stops based on a continuous logit model that considers the ri...

Urban Heat Island (UHI) mitigating strategies: A case-based comparative analysis (2015)
Journal Article
O’Malley, C., Piroozfar, P., Farr, E. R. P., & Pomponi, F. (2015). Urban Heat Island (UHI) mitigating strategies: A case-based comparative analysis. Sustainable Cities and Society, 19, 222-235. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scs.2015.05.009

Urbanisation may have been shown to have no effect on climate change, but some researchers suggest that cities are fully capable of responding to it. Urban Heat Islands (UHIs) represent dense urban areas within cities where the temperature is recorde...

Developing a framework for standardising and harmonising intermodal terminal concession contracts. (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Monios, J., & Bergqvist, R. (2015, June). Developing a framework for standardising and harmonising intermodal terminal concession contracts. Paper presented at 4th Florence Conference on the Regulation of Infrastructures

Much effort goes into planning of freight infrastructure to achieve government policy aims of modal shift, and governments (and government-backed infrastructure managers and rail ministries) strive to make track access and other regulatory aspects of...
