A stochastic-based performance prediction model of road network pavement maintenance (2012)
Journal Article
Mandiartha, P., Duffield, C. F., Thompson, R. G., & Wigan, M. (2012). A stochastic-based performance prediction model of road network pavement maintenance. Road and Transport Research Journal, 21, 34-52

This paper presents details of the development and implementation of a stochastic-based performance-prediction model using the Markov chains method for road network pavement maintenance. As well as the difficulty in the process of developing the tran... Read More about A stochastic-based performance prediction model of road network pavement maintenance.

Accessibility indicators for transport planning. (2012)
Book Chapter
Morris, J. M., Dumble, P. L., & Wigan, M. (2012). Accessibility indicators for transport planning. In C. Mulley (Ed.), Urban Form and transport Accessibility. Edward Elgar

Both perceptual and measurable specifications of accessibility are reviewed and their relevance to
transport planning established. The wide variety of analytical forms which can be used to quantify different aspects
of accessibility are categorised... Read More about Accessibility indicators for transport planning..

Contestability, democracy and trust in the anti-terror age (2012)
Journal Article
Wigan, M. (2012). Contestability, democracy and trust in the anti-terror age. IEEE technology & society magazine, 31, 26-32. https://doi.org/10.1109/MTS.2012.2185730

Checks and balances in government are always difficult to resolve, and as both societal and governmental complexity have increased, the degree to which expertise and policy reside within government has declined. The rise of evidence-based approaches... Read More about Contestability, democracy and trust in the anti-terror age.

Smart meter technology tradeoffs. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wigan, M. (2012, October). Smart meter technology tradeoffs

Smart meters have become a matter of concern for
many populations, although the technology is as always
politically neutral. The focus on electricity rather than all
metered services, water, gas and electricity is one aspect of this
public concer... Read More about Smart meter technology tradeoffs..

Process Validation of Urban Freight and Logistics Models (2012)
Journal Article
Donnelly, R., Thompson, R. G., & Wigan, M. (2012). Process Validation of Urban Freight and Logistics Models. Procedia Social and Behavioral Sciences, 39, 400-408. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sbspro.2012.03.117

A number of innovative modelling approaches for the analysis of urban freight demand and its impact upon the built environment and transport infrastructure have been proposed over the past several years. These range from new and more robust synthetic... Read More about Process Validation of Urban Freight and Logistics Models.
