Travel Plans for New Developments: A Global Review (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
De Gruyter, C., Rose, G., Currie, G., & Rye, T. (2017, January). Travel Plans for New Developments: A Global Review. Presented at Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting

Travel plans, also known as Transportation Demand Management (TDM) plans, can be required for new infill and greenfield developments through the land use planning and approvals process. They aim to manage car use through delivering a package of trans... Read More about Travel Plans for New Developments: A Global Review.

A pilot study: Evaluation of sensor system design for optical fibre humidity sensors subjected to aggressive air sewer environment (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alwis, L. S. M., Bustamante, H., Bremer, K., Roth, B., Sun, T., & Grattan, K. T. V. (2016, October). A pilot study: Evaluation of sensor system design for optical fibre humidity sensors subjected to aggressive air sewer environment. Presented at 2016 IEEE SENSORS

Research has identified that humidity plays a fundamental role on the conversion of hydrogen sulphide into sulphuric acid during corrosion of concrete in gravity sewers and that potentially minor reductions in humidity can reduce corrosion rates. The... Read More about A pilot study: Evaluation of sensor system design for optical fibre humidity sensors subjected to aggressive air sewer environment.

Controlling venetian blinds based on parametric design; via implementing Grasshopper’s plugins: A case study of an office building in Cairo (2017)
Journal Article
Eltaweel, A., & Su, Y. (2017). Controlling venetian blinds based on parametric design; via implementing Grasshopper’s plugins: A case study of an office building in Cairo. Energy and Buildings, 139, 31-43. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2016.12.075

Venetian blinds are common type of shading devices and are increasingly operated automatically to overcome the limitations of using manual operation. Automated blinds need to be controlled to maximize benefits of daylight on the aspects of redirectin...

The analysis and presentation of patents to support engineering design (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Vasantha, G., Corney, J., Maclachlan, R., & Wodehouse, A. (2016, June). The analysis and presentation of patents to support engineering design. Presented at 7th International Conference on Design Computing and Cognition, Evanston (Chicago), United States

This paper explores the role of patents in engineering design, and how the extraction and presentation of patent data could be improved for designers. We propose the use of crowdsourcing as a means to post tasks online for a crowd of people to partic... Read More about The analysis and presentation of patents to support engineering design.

Mathematical Model for Calibration of Potential Detection of Nonlinear Responses in Biological Media Exposed to RF Energy (2017)
Journal Article
See, C. H., Abd-Alhameed, R. A., Mirza, A. F., McEwan, N. J., Excell, P. S., & Balzano, Q. (2017). Mathematical Model for Calibration of Potential Detection of Nonlinear Responses in Biological Media Exposed to RF Energy. The Applied Computational Electromagnetics Society Journal, 32(1), 1-7

An efficient way to test for potential unsymmetrical nonlinear responses in biological tissue samples exposed to a microwave signal is to observe the second harmonic in a cavity resonant at the two frequencies, with collocated antinodes. Such a respo... Read More about Mathematical Model for Calibration of Potential Detection of Nonlinear Responses in Biological Media Exposed to RF Energy.

Preliminary Investigation of the Effectiveness of High-Visibility Crosswalks on Pedestrian Safety Using Crash Surrogates (2017)
Journal Article
Sarwar, M. T., Fountas, G., Bentley, C., Anastasopoulos, P. C., Blatt, A., Pierowicz, J., Majka, K., & Limoges, R. (2017). Preliminary Investigation of the Effectiveness of High-Visibility Crosswalks on Pedestrian Safety Using Crash Surrogates. Transportation research record, 2659, 182-191. https://doi.org/10.3141/2659-20

This paper, with the use of data from the SHRP 2 naturalistic driving study, provides a preliminary evaluation of the effectiveness of high-visibility crosswalks (HVCs) in improving pedestrian safety at un-controlled locations. This evaluation was ac... Read More about Preliminary Investigation of the Effectiveness of High-Visibility Crosswalks on Pedestrian Safety Using Crash Surrogates.
