Potential of noble fir, Norway spruce, western red cedar and western hemlock grown for timber production in Great Britain (2018)
Thesis
Gil-Moreno, D. Potential of noble fir, Norway spruce, western red cedar and western hemlock grown for timber production in Great Britain. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/1506120

The limited range of commercial timber species in Great Britain has led the forestry sector to consider wider planting of other species. This research addresses wood properties, particularly relevant to structural timber, of noble fir, Norway spruce,...

Impact of Ubiquitous Real-Time Information on Bus Passenger Route Choice (2018)
Thesis
Islam, M. F. Impact of Ubiquitous Real-Time Information on Bus Passenger Route Choice. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/1508471

Over the last decade, Ubiquitous Real-time Passenger Information (URTPI) has become popular among public transport passengers. The effectiveness of URTPI and hence the value of the investments into the necessary systems can be increased with a clear...

Identifying Barriers To The Implementation Of Bus Policy At A Local Level In Great Britain Using A Decision Support Framework (2018)
Thesis
McTigue, C. Identifying Barriers To The Implementation Of Bus Policy At A Local Level In Great Britain Using A Decision Support Framework. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/1516301

The current debate on transport policy in the UK is focused on the need for a sustainable transport system. Buses play a vital role in achieving this, as they are the most frequently used and most accessible mode of public transport. However, the lit...

Modelling and simulation of car following driving behaviour (2018)
Thesis
Appiah, J. Modelling and simulation of car following driving behaviour. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/1253614

Driver behaviour has become an important aspect of transport research and over the years a considerable number of car following models have been developed. However, many of these models do not accurately simulate actual driving behaviour due to a lac... Read More about Modelling and simulation of car following driving behaviour.

Analysis of the effects of aerogel insulation on the thermal performance of existing building envelopes (2018)
Thesis
Carty, L. Analysis of the effects of aerogel insulation on the thermal performance of existing building envelopes. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/1253724

Hard-to-treat buildings, dwellings in particular have a significant impact on overall building energy consumption.
