Split Second Motion Blur (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ritchie, M., Modern, G., & Mitchell, K. (2010). Split Second Motion Blur. In ACM SIGGRAPH 2010 Talks (17:1-17:1). https://doi.org/10.1145/1837026.1837048

Motion blur is key to delivering a sense of speed in interactive video game rendering. Further, simulating accurate camera optical exposure properties and reduction of temporal aliasing brings us closer to high quality real-time rendering productions... Read More about Split Second Motion Blur.

Taxi Demand Modeling to Ensure Appropriate Taxi Supply: Do Both Open Access and Model Based Restrictions Fail? (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cooper, J. M., & Faber, W. (2010, August). Taxi Demand Modeling to Ensure Appropriate Taxi Supply: Do Both Open Access and Model Based Restrictions Fail?. Presented at Traffic and Transportation Studies 2010

As a transport mode, the taxi is often given scant attention. The mode is consistent, in appearance and function, and has followed the same patterns of licensing, rather than mainstream transport, from its origin as the first licensed public transpor...

Identity, contestability and ethics of unified virtualisation of society. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wigan, M. (2010). Identity, contestability and ethics of unified virtualisation of society. In 2010 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS) (399-405). https://doi.org/10.1109/ISTAS.2010.5514616

Virtualisation (the replacement of physical representation by bits) in society is placing great pressures on individuals and society. The progressive loss of legal multiple identities raises major ethical and practical implications, and is being acce...

Time-dependent Hyperstar algorithm for robust vehicle navigation in time-dependent stochastic road networks. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bell, M. G. H., Trozzi, V., Hosseinloo, S. H., Gentile, G., & Fonzone, A. (2010, July). Time-dependent Hyperstar algorithm for robust vehicle navigation in time-dependent stochastic road networks. Paper presented at 4th International Symposium on Transportation Network Reliability

The vehicle navigation problem studied in Bell (2009) is revisited and a time-dependent reverse Hyperstar algorithm is presented. This minimises the expected time of arrival at the destination, and all intermediate nodes, where expectation is based o...

A model of endocannabinoid 2-AG-mediated depolarization-induced suppression of inhibition (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fox, D., & Andras, P. (2010). A model of endocannabinoid 2-AG-mediated depolarization-induced suppression of inhibition. BMC Neuroscience, 11, Article P189 (2010). https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2202-11-S1-P189

Depolarization-induced suppression of inhibition (DSI) is known to be mediated by the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG). It's calcium-dependent production and subsequent retrograde diffusion from postsynaptic pyramidal cells to presynapti...

Is it conceivable to contemplate a future without the car as the center of an urban transportation system? Can emerging economies grow without concomitant growth in car usage? San Pedro Sula, Honduras, is one city at a critical decision point about t... Read More about Sustainable urban transport in Central America - a future without the car?.

Dynamic route choice in a congested transit network with uncertain carriers’ arrival times (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Seat capacity and hyperpath choice on-board: alight or remain seated? (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Schmoecker, J., Shimamoto, H., Kurauchi, F., Fonzone, A., & Bell, M. G. H. (2010, July). Seat capacity and hyperpath choice on-board: alight or remain seated?. Paper presented at 12th World Congress on Transport Research

The rationale for the definition of a set of paths referred to as “hyperpath” is that some uncertainty (for example waiting time) means that the choice of a specific option is not being pre-determined. Rather the choice process is assumed to occur on... Read More about Seat capacity and hyperpath choice on-board: alight or remain seated?.

Do “hyper-travellers” exist? – Initial results of an international survey on public transport user behaviour. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fonzone, A., Schmoecker, J., Bell, M. G. H., Gentile, G., Kurauchi, F., Noeckel, K., & Wilson, N. H. M. (2010, July). Do “hyper-travellers” exist? – Initial results of an international survey on public transport user behaviour. Paper presented at 12th World Congress on Transport Research

Transport modelling – both in traffic and transit fields – has been traditionally based on the assumption of the utility maximization principle. In public transport networks with high frequency services this has led to “hyperpath” route choice models...
