The directional development of intermodal freight corridors in relation to inland terminals (2011)
Journal Article
Wilmsmeier, G., Monios, J., & Lambert, B. (2011). The directional development of intermodal freight corridors in relation to inland terminals. Journal of Transport Geography, 19, 1379-1386. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtrangeo.2011.07.010

This paper examines the spatial development of freight infrastructure, developing a conceptual model that draws attention to the directional development of intermodal corridors in relation to inland terminals. Two concepts of vertical control of the... Read More about The directional development of intermodal freight corridors in relation to inland terminals.

Why is it so dark in here? Perception of Brightness at Low Light Levels in Museum Environments. (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Innes, M. (2011). Why is it so dark in here? Perception of Brightness at Low Light Levels in Museum Environments.

Many museum and gallery exhibits are fragile objects that would not survive repeated handling. Even where this is not the case, it is generally frowned upon for visitors to touch exhibits. As a result, vision is by far the most important sense for mu... Read More about Why is it so dark in here? Perception of Brightness at Low Light Levels in Museum Environments..

SimConnector: An approach to testing disaster-alerting systems using agent based simulation models (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Niazi, M., Siddique, Q., Hussain, A., & Fortino, G. (2011). SimConnector: An approach to testing disaster-alerting systems using agent based simulation models. In 2011 Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS) (659-665)

The design, development and testing of intelligent disaster detection and alerting systems pose a set of non-trivial problems. Not only are such systems difficult to design as they need to accurately predict real-world outcomes using a distributed se...
