Owning identity-one or many-do we have a choice? (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wigan, M. (2007, October). Owning identity-one or many-do we have a choice?. Presented at Second Workshop on Social Implications of National Security

The rapid growth of databases, biometrics, and RFID has led to an environment where identity-related technologies are approaching a critical mass as a potential means of controlling the population. The essential aspects of these diverse technical adv... Read More about Owning identity-one or many-do we have a choice?.

The impact of the congestion charge on the retail business in London: An econometric analysis (2007)
Journal Article
Quddus, M. A., Bell, M. G., Schmöcker, J.-D., & Fonzone, A. (2007). The impact of the congestion charge on the retail business in London: An econometric analysis. Transport Policy, 14(5), 433-444. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tranpol.2007.04.008

On 17 February 2003, London introduced a pioneering congestion-charging scheme. The impact on traffic was sudden and dramatic. For example, car movements within the congestion-charging zone (21km2) were reduced by about 30%. However, the impact on ot...

Tolling traffic links under stochastic assignment: Modelling the relationship between the number and price level of tolled links and optimal traffic flows (2007)
Journal Article
Stewart, K. (2007). Tolling traffic links under stochastic assignment: Modelling the relationship between the number and price level of tolled links and optimal traffic flows. Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, 41(7), 644-654. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tra.2006.09.015

The classical road-tolling problem is to toll network links such that under the principles of Wardropian User Equilibrium Assignment a System Optimising (SO) flow pattern is obtained. Stochastic assignment methods are accepted to be more realistic th...

Car driver speed choice in Scotland (2007)
Journal Article
Stradling, S. G. (2007). Car driver speed choice in Scotland. Ergonomics, 50(8), 1196-1208. https://doi.org/10.1080/00140130701318681

Drivers who commit driving violations, such as speeding, crash more. Driving violations reduce safety margins amplifying the impact of driver errors. Speed is placed in the context of car use and its attractions. It is argued that speed choice result... Read More about Car driver speed choice in Scotland.

Comparison of pattern recognition techniques for the classification of impact acoustic emissions (2007)
Journal Article
