Potentially optimal paths and route choice in networks with arc delays. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fonzone, A., Schmoecker, J.-D., & Bell, M. G. H. (2010, April). Potentially optimal paths and route choice in networks with arc delays. Paper presented at 5th IMA International conference on Mathematics in Transport

The shortest path problem has been widely studied in graph theory and its solutions have been largely used in the transport field, both in assignment and vehicle navigation applications. Solutions have been proposed under different assumptions concer... Read More about Potentially optimal paths and route choice in networks with arc delays..

Schedule-based hyperpath approaches to transit assignment: the impact of imperfect information. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Rochau, N., Bell, M. G. H., Noeckel, K., & Fonzone, A. (2010, April). Schedule-based hyperpath approaches to transit assignment: the impact of imperfect information. Paper presented at 5th IMA Conference on Mathematics in Transport

In a schedule-based capacitated transit network we analyze optimal passenger strategies, where a strategy is a ranked set of services at each interchange in the transit network. The passenger is assumed to take the first ranked service unless this is... Read More about Schedule-based hyperpath approaches to transit assignment: the impact of imperfect information..

Bounded rationality in hyperpath assignment: the locally rational traveller model. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fonzone, A., & Bell, M. G. H. (2010, January). Bounded rationality in hyperpath assignment: the locally rational traveller model. Presented at 89th Annual TRB Meeting

The concepts of optimal strategy and hyperpath were introduced in the transport field under the paradigms of equilibrium and expected utility theory, which assume perfect rationality. The initial scope for hyperpaths was frequency-based transit assig... Read More about Bounded rationality in hyperpath assignment: the locally rational traveller model..

Attacker-defender models and road network vulnerability (2008)
Journal Article
Bell, M. G. H., Kanturska, U., Schmocker, J. D., & Fonzone, A. (2008). Attacker-defender models and road network vulnerability. Philosophical Transactions A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 366, 1893-1906. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsta.2008.0019

The reliability of road networks depends directly on their vulnerability to disruptive incidents, ranging in severity from minor disruptions to terrorist attacks. This paper presents a game theoretic approach to the analysis of road network vulnerabi... Read More about Attacker-defender models and road network vulnerability.

Improving reliability through multi-path routing and link defence: an application of game theory to transport. (2008)
Book Chapter
Kanturska, U., Schmoecker, J. D., Fonzone, A., & Bell, M. G. H. (2008). Improving reliability through multi-path routing and link defence: an application of game theory to transport. In Game Theoretic Risk Analysis of Security Threats (199-229). BMC

This paper looks at the vulnerability of transportation networks against minor (e.g. demonstrations) and major (e.g. terrorists attacks) incidents by using an attacker-defender model which applies the game theoretic approach proposed by Bell (2000)....

Use of radar devices in road traffic surveys (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Colonna, P., Guaragnella, C., Ranieri, V., & Fonzone, A. (2007, September). Use of radar devices in road traffic surveys. Presented at 4th SIIV International Congress "Advances in Transport Infrastructures and stakeholders expectations", Palermo, Italy

The Department of Roads and Transportation of Polytechnic University of Bari owns CW radar devices for road traffic surveys. The radars can be used to measure traffic volumes and vehicle lengths and speeds. Radar’s manual suggests to refer to measure... Read More about Use of radar devices in road traffic surveys.

Changes in the frequency of shopping trips in response to a congestion charge (2005)
Journal Article
Schmöcker, J.-D., Fonzone, A., Quddus, M., & Bell, M. G. (2006). Changes in the frequency of shopping trips in response to a congestion charge. Transport Policy, 13(3), 217-228. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tranpol.2005.09.005

This paper presents an analysis of shopping trips into London’s central shopping district (Oxford Street area) before and after the introduction of the congestion charging scheme in February 2003. In collaboration with a major department store, three... Read More about Changes in the frequency of shopping trips in response to a congestion charge.

Impact of COVID-19 on travel behaviour, transport, lifestyles and residential location choices in Scotland
Report
Downey, L., Fonzone, A., Fountas, G., & Semple, T. (2021). Impact of COVID-19 on travel behaviour, transport, lifestyles and residential location choices in Scotland. Scottish Funding Council

COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO) on 21st March 2020 and on 24th March 2020, the UK and Scottish Governments imposed a ‘lockdown’, restricting everyday life activities to only the most essential. These Government... Read More about Impact of COVID-19 on travel behaviour, transport, lifestyles and residential location choices in Scotland.
