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.

The kinematic features of motorcycles in congested urban networks (2012)
Journal Article
Lee, T., Polak, J. W., Bell, M. G. H., & Wigan, M. (2012). The kinematic features of motorcycles in congested urban networks. Accident analysis and prevention, 49, 203-211. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aap.2011.04.002

The aim of this paper is to compare the kinematic features of motorcycles with those of passenger cars in urban traffic. The hypothesis that motorcycles’ capability to swerve in urban traffic contributes to their seemingly assertive behaviour is exam...

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.

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.
