A new data, document and geospatial repository: knowledge base and project support for a major international railway project. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wigan, M., Kukla, R., Benjamins, M., & Grashoff, P. (2008, April). A new data, document and geospatial repository: knowledge base and project support for a major international railway project. Poster presented at Third International Conference on Open Repositories

The simplicity of the basic design has proved to be robust to the changing and varied needs of different ?clients?, but the complexity of the intellectual property issues engendered by the mix of commercial, open source and hand rolled software has p...

The modelling of motorcycle ownership and usage: a UK study (2007)
Journal Article
Burge, P., Fox, J., Kouvenhoeven, M., Rohr, C., & Wigan, M. (2007). The modelling of motorcycle ownership and usage: a UK study. Transportation research record, 59-68. https://doi.org/10.3141/2031-08

This paper presents work, undertaken for the UK Department for Transport, to help determine how policy could affect motorcycle usage. There are two important choices that determine potential motorcycle use: the decision to own a motorcycle, and conti... Read More about The modelling of motorcycle ownership and usage: a UK study.

How do you decide when to repeat transport surveys? (2007)
Journal Article
Wigan, M., Smith, N., & Timmis, B. (2007). How do you decide when to repeat transport surveys?. Australasian Transport Research Forum, 1-23

Sustainable transport requires a perspective that extends beyond the present and beyond the transport system itself. To view sustainability properly requires more sophisticated models than we currently employ, and more data than we currently collect....

Owning identity-one or many-do we have a choice? (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wigan, M. (2007). Owning identity-one or many-do we have a choice?. In K. Michael, & M. G. Michael (Eds.), From Dataveillance to Überveillance and the realpolitik of the transparent society (61-70)

The rapid growth of databases, biometrics, and RFID has led to an environment where identity-related technologies are approaching a critical mass as a potential means of controlling the population. The essential aspects of these diverse technical adv... Read More about Owning identity-one or many-do we have a choice?.

RKB: A Knowledge base to support research documentation, data, GIS, spatial data and communications for a major rail freight project. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wigan, M., Kukla, R., Benjamins, M., & Grashoff, P. (2007, October). RKB: A Knowledge base to support research documentation, data, GIS, spatial data and communications for a major rail freight project. Presented at European transport conference 2007

The paper places data and document access, use and exploration systems in the context of the Data Observatories movement, as well as the document repository systems now becoming mandated for universities. It will show how taking these developments in...

What's wrong with freight models and what should we do about it? (2006)
Journal Article
Southworth, F., & Wigan, M. (2006). What's wrong with freight models and what should we do about it?. Transportation research record,

After many years of neglect, freight, freight operations, and commodity flow models are now attracting substantial attention, and there is a wide perception among transportation analysts that they all need a careful overhaul. In this paper the range... Read More about What's wrong with freight models and what should we do about it?.
