The role of contestable processes in advancing sustainability in transport and planning. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wigan, M. (2010, June). The role of contestable processes in advancing sustainability in transport and planning. Presented at GAMUT International conference

Sustainable transport requires not only solid evidence to support policy and practice, but also to allow this to be examined with a high degree of transparency. Not all technical reports have the supporting evidence (or indeed models) made readily av... Read More about The role of contestable processes in advancing sustainability in transport and planning..

How best to evaluate mobility management projects: can psychological theory help? (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Carreno, M., Bamberg, S., Rye, T., & Welsch, J. (2010, July). How best to evaluate mobility management projects: can psychological theory help?. Presented at World Association of Transportation Research (WCTR)

In order to persuade both policy makers and practitioners to adopt mobility management (MM) strategies there is a need for these decision makers to accept, understand and be able to predict (with confidence) their likely effectiveness. To satisfy the... Read More about How best to evaluate mobility management projects: can psychological theory help?.

The effects of network density of a new counter-based broadcasting scheme in mobile ad hoc networks. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yassein, M. B., Nimer, S. F., & Al-Dubai, A. (2010, June). The effects of network density of a new counter-based broadcasting scheme in mobile ad hoc networks

Broadcasting is an essential operation in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) to transmit the message (data packet) from the sender to all other nodes in the network. Flooding is the simplest mechanism for broadcast operations, where each node retransmit...
