Validation of a 6-s Cycle Ergometry Sprint to Measure Peak Power in Recreationally Active Females (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Graham, W. M., Grace, F., Sculthorpe, N., Baker, J., Connaboy, C., & Baird, M. F. Validation of a 6-s Cycle Ergometry Sprint to Measure Peak Power in Recreationally Active Females

The 30-s Wingate Anaerobic Test (WAnT30) is frequently used to determine peak anaerobic power (PP). When PP, which is generally achieved within the first 5-s is the primary measure of interest, there may be no advantage in completing a 30-s test. It...

Why does new transport infrastructure seem to cost more in Scotland and Great Britain than in other northern European countries? (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Rye, T. (2017, May). Why does new transport infrastructure seem to cost more in Scotland and Great Britain than in other northern European countries?. Paper presented at Scottish Transport Applications and Research Conference

There is huge demand for new transport infrastructure as local and national government try to deal with congestion, increase social inclusion or regenerate local economies. A question that is rarely asked, however, is whether we are paying more than...

Cyclist exposure to hand-arm vibration and pavement surface improvement in the City of Edinburgh (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Taylor, M., Edgar, A., & Raine, M. (2017, May). Cyclist exposure to hand-arm vibration and pavement surface improvement in the City of Edinburgh. Paper presented at Scottish Transport Applications and Research Conference

In the city of Edinburgh, pavement surfaces utilised as either shared space or dedicated cycle-paths use a broad range of materials and surface finishes. A poor pavement surface discourages cyclists from selecting certain paths or routes and vibrati...

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Meade, S., Stewart, K., & Maher, M. (2017, May). The Visualisation of SiN in Edinburgh. Paper presented at Scottish Transport Applications Research, Glasgow

Traffic safety has three primary dimensions: exposure (to risk), risk (of having a crash subject to a certain amount of exposure) and consequences (crash outcome e.g. injury type of a given crash). This paper focuses on two of those elements, exposur... Read More about The Visualisation of SiN in Edinburgh.
