A silk purse from a sow's ear? predicting current urban freight movements. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pekol, A., Wigan, M., & Hulbert, J. (2005). A silk purse from a sow's ear? predicting current urban freight movements.

The importance of freight activity in urban areas has increased substantially and is predicted to continue to rise. However, freight data is difficult to secure, and even more difficult to use in policy, forecasting and analysis. This is a direct c...

Matching user demand and technical supply for the design of traveller information systems. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smith, N., Salim, V., Gannon, J., Olaru, D., & Wigan, M. (2005). Matching user demand and technical supply for the design of traveller information systems.

The majority of states across Australia have a publicly funded traveller information service in operation. They clearly provide some benefits to the travelling public, but there has been limited reported analysis of user opinions of the services and...

Demonstrating "Design to Market" for ITS services. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smith, N., Gannon, J., Salim, V., & Wigan, M. (2004). Demonstrating "Design to Market" for ITS services. In ITS for livable society: proceedings of the 11th World Congress on ITS

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) that lead to more efficient and effective road travel, offer the best potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the short term. However, for this potential to be realized, widespread adoption of ITS is nee... Read More about Demonstrating "Design to Market" for ITS services..

Changes in the productivity mix for Australian freight vehicles. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hassall, K., Thompson, R. G., & Wigan, M. (2003). Changes in the productivity mix for Australian freight vehicles.

Regulators in major urban capital cities are looking towards future freight viability strategies that will dampen the growth in urban demand for trucking and commercial vehicle use. To create these strategies it is necessary to know both the patterns... Read More about Changes in the productivity mix for Australian freight vehicles..

Addressing gaps in the availability of travel behaviour data. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Schmoecker, J., Cooper, J. A., Polak, J. W., & Wigan, M. (2003). Addressing gaps in the availability of travel behaviour data.

The aim of this paper is to present the results of a project undertaken to identify key areas in which shortcomings in the collection, processing and dissemination of travel behavioural data have held back needed research and, building on this, to de...

Understanding the growth in service trips and developing transport modelling approaches to commercial, service and light goods movements. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wigan, M., Browne, M., Allen, J., & Anderson, S. (2002). Understanding the growth in service trips and developing transport modelling approaches to commercial, service and light goods movements.

Freight modelling and analysis has recently risen in importance. However although the concentration to date on specifically 'freight' vehicles and lorries has begun to cover the bulk of commodity tonnage flows, it has not properly addressed the mix o...

The growing importance of light goods vehicles in the UK. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Browne, M., Allen, J., Anderson, S., & Wigan, M. (2002, September). The growing importance of light goods vehicles in the UK. Paper presented at Logistics Research Network Annual Conference

An emerging form of freight modelling. (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Neffendorf, H., Wigan, M., Donnelly, R., Williams, I., & Collop, M. (2001). An emerging form of freight modelling.

Among transport planning models, freight transport has long been the Cinderella. Despite the critical importance of freight movement and commercial vehicle traffic, the behavioural influences are poorly understood. The typical approach, almost an aft...

Broader considerations with private funding of major road infrastructure. (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wigan, M. (1999). Broader considerations with private funding of major road infrastructure.

Private road funding and privatised roads are not quite the same. There is a vast range of different ways in which private capital can participate in road infrastructure. Some of these are examined, and the implications of different forms of private... Read More about Broader considerations with private funding of major road infrastructure..

Pricing digital transport data. (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wigan, M. (1999). Pricing digital transport data. In H. Perkins (Ed.), GIS Technologies for the Transportation Industry (2-20)

Building road transport networks for modelling purposes has been a time consuming and error prone task for many years. The rapid development of digital road networks has now provided a reliable and rapid mean of building such networks flexibily and a... Read More about Pricing digital transport data..
