Economic evaluation of road investment proposals: valuing travel time savings for freight. (2003)
Report
Fuller, T. N., Rockcliffe, N., Wigan, M., Tsolakis, D., & Thoresen, T. (2003). Economic evaluation of road investment proposals: valuing travel time savings for freight

Faster more reliable freight movements make up a substantial proportion of the economic benefits generated
by road and transport investment. However techniques for assessing and valuing the freight component of
this economic benefit have been rathe... Read More about Economic evaluation of road investment proposals: valuing travel time savings for freight..

Personal data space in organisations: managing personal knowledge and identity. (2002)
Book Chapter
Wigan, M. (2002). Personal data space in organisations: managing personal knowledge and identity. In L. Holmes, D. M. Hosking, & M. Grieco (Eds.), Organising in the Information Age: Distributed Technology, Distributed Leadership, Distributed Identity, Distributed Discourse (45-56). Ashgate Publishing

Identity and information ownership are increasingly confused. One of the key aspects of this area of dispute is the personal data space within which people perceive that they operate. This concept allows many of the attitudes and behaviours in organi... Read More about Personal data space in organisations: managing personal knowledge and identity..

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...

Open transport modeling networking for transportation applications. (2002)
Preprint / Working Paper
Wigan, M., & Drain, P. Open transport modeling networking for transportation applications

Transport modeling has developed to a stage where there is a wide range of tools, but a high level
of dependence on commercial systems. Recent developments in software and licensing
approaches have underpinned the rapid development of robust open s... Read More about Open transport modeling networking for transportation applications..

Motorcycles as a Full Mode of Transportation (2002)
Journal Article
Wigan, M. (2002). Motorcycles as a Full Mode of Transportation. Transportation research record, 1818(1), 39-46. https://doi.org/10.3141/1818-06

Motorcycles usually are treated solely on the basis of their safety characteristics and very rarely as a mode of transportation with benefits and costs, placing safety issues in a full transportation context. The standard transportation issues of tra... Read More about Motorcycles as a Full Mode of Transportation.

Enabling and Managing Greater Access to Transport Data Through Metadata (2002)
Journal Article
Wigan, M., Grieco, M., & Mine, J. (2002). Enabling and Managing Greater Access to Transport Data Through Metadata. Transportation research record, 1804, 48-55. https://doi.org/10.3141/1804-07

MetadatA—information about data sets—allow clear understanding of exactly what the elements and structure of a given data set entail. Metadata in conjunction with XML-based specifications, schemas, and tools allow a high level of automated and valida...

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...
