Evaluation of fleet safety interventions. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Darby, P., & Raeside, R. (2010). Evaluation of fleet safety interventions. In Proceedings of the 42nd Universities Transport Study Group conference

Work related road traffic fatalities are the largest cause of work fatalities in the UK. It is estimated that 25% of UK road accidents involve someone driving for work. This risk profile makes fleet safety an important topic for study as it can have... Read More about Evaluation of fleet safety interventions..

Identifying demand and optimal location for taxi ranks in a liberalized market. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cooper, J. A., Farrell, S., & Simpson, P. (2010). Identifying demand and optimal location for taxi ranks in a liberalized market.

The supply of taxi services can be materially affected within the market as taxi drivers respond to market opportunities, and from the outside, where regulators influence supply through regulation – quality, quantity and/or economic controls, and bes...

Computational issues regarding lattice models for wood (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Reichert, T., & Ridley-Ellis, D. (2010). Computational issues regarding lattice models for wood. In A. Ceccotti (Ed.), 11th World Conference on Timber Engineering 2010 (WCTE 2010) (2127-2132)

This paper describes means to overcome some of the computational issues related to lattice models. The first is the use of a solution technique, different from a Newton-Raphson approach, called the Step-Size-Control (SSC) algorithm to handle strain-s...
