Mementos: a tangible interface supporting travel (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Esteves, A., & Oakley, I. (2010). Mementos: a tangible interface supporting travel. In Proceedings of the 6th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer Interaction: Extending Boundaries (643-646). https://doi.org/10.1145/1868914.1868994

Tangible interaction promises interfaces with ready affordances, which embrace physicality and which naturally support collaboration. However, the complexity of the hardware required to produce tangible systems has typically constrained their operati... Read More about Mementos: a tangible interface supporting travel.

The effect of unitised freight flows and logistics strategies on Scotland’s external trade. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Baird, A., Monios, J., Wilmsmeier, T., & Mathie, I. (2010, October). The effect of unitised freight flows and logistics strategies on Scotland’s external trade. Paper presented at European Transport Conference 2010

This paper analyses unitised freight flows in Scotland, the reasons behind the current modal split and likely future developments. The impacts of these findings on logistics strategies for Scottish shippers are then considered in the context of the p...

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). Taxi Demand Modeling to Ensure Appropriate Taxi Supply: Do Both Open Access and Model Based Restrictions Fail?. In Proceedings of the Seventh International Conference on Traffic and Transportation Studies (60-72). https

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...
