A sustainable transport strategies for Tabuk City in the Saudi Arabia has been developed using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) using travel data collected from Tabuk City. A number of transport policies and strategies have been tested for incl... Read More about Transportation sustainability index for Tabuk city in Saudi Arabia: an analytic hierarchy process.

Investigating boundary effects of congestion charging in a single bottleneck scenario (2015)
Journal Article
Ge, Y.-E., Stewart, K., Liu, Y., Tang, C., & Liu, B. (2015). Investigating boundary effects of congestion charging in a single bottleneck scenario. Transport, 1-15

This paper investigates the impact of realistic congestion charging regimes where
undesired boundary effects of imposing charges may occur and may be both
temporal and spatial. Tolling regimes are developed with the primary aim to
reduce system co... Read More about Investigating boundary effects of congestion charging in a single bottleneck scenario.

A Printed Wideband MIMO Antenna for Mobile and Portable Communication Devices (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
See, C. H., Elkazmi, E., Al Khambashi, M., Samarah, K. G., Ali, A., Abd-Alhameed, R. A., McEwan, N. J., & Excell, P. S. (2015, July). A Printed Wideband MIMO Antenna for Mobile and Portable Communication Devices. Presented at 7th International Conference on Wireless and Satellite Systems, University of Bradford, Bradford, BD7 1DP

A printed crescent-shaped monopole MIMO antenna is presented for handheld wireless communication devices. The mutual coupling between the two antenna elements can be minimised by implementing a I-shaped common radiator. Both the simulated and measure...

The production of capitalist “smooth” space in global port operations (2015)
Journal Article
Wilmsmeier, G., & Monios, J. (2015). The production of capitalist “smooth” space in global port operations. Journal of Transport Geography, 47, 59-69. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtrangeo.2015.06.016

New developments in a post-Fordist economic environment have changed the source of port competitiveness from economies of scale based on basic production factors (capital, land, labour) to economies of scope based on advanced production (service) fac...

Environmental Factors and the Emergence of Cultural – Technical Innovations (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Andras, P. (2015, July). Environmental Factors and the Emergence of Cultural – Technical Innovations. Presented at ECAL 2015: the 13th European Conference on Artificial Life, York

Environmental factors that determine ecological niches, for
example natural boundaries formed by mountains, rivers,
deserts, contribute to the speciation among animals. Similar
factors have been proposed to be important for the... Read More about Environmental Factors and the Emergence of Cultural – Technical Innovations.

Automating condition monitoring of vegetation on railway trackbeds and embankments (2015)

Nyberg, R. G. Automating condition monitoring of vegetation on railway trackbeds and embankments. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/462294

Vegetation growing on railway trackbeds and embankments present potential problems. The presence of vegetation threatens the safety of personnel inspecting the railway infrastructure. In addition vegetation growth clogs the ballast and results in ina... Read More about Automating condition monitoring of vegetation on railway trackbeds and embankments.

Viability of cross-laminated timber from UK resources (2015)
Journal Article
Crawford, D., Smith, S., Hairstans, R., & Papastavrou, P. (2015). Viability of cross-laminated timber from UK resources. Proceedings of the ICE - Construction Materials, 168(3), 110-120. https://doi.org/10.1680/coma.14.00064

Cross-laminated timber is an innovative engineered timber product that can be used for almost all superstructure elements. It is typically produced from kiln-dried, fast-growing softwood timber. Currently there is no commercial production in the UK a... Read More about Viability of cross-laminated timber from UK resources.
