Prospects for large-scale solar thermal electricity generation from the LIBYAN desert: technical feasibility. (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Aldali, Y., Henderson, D., & Muneer, T. (2009, July). Prospects for large-scale solar thermal electricity generation from the LIBYAN desert: technical feasibility

The Great Sahara desert covers the entire range of Libyan longitude 11o 44’ to 23o 58’ E and a latitude range of 24o 17’ through to 30o 31’N, thus covering an area of 1,750,000 sq km and 88% of this land is desert. The authors have measured hourly so... Read More about Prospects for large-scale solar thermal electricity generation from the LIBYAN desert: technical feasibility..

Variable message signs: are they effective TDM measures? (2009)
Book Chapter
Saleh, W., Walker, C., & Pai, C. W. (2009). Variable message signs: are they effective TDM measures?. In Travel Demand Management and Road User Pricing: Success, Failure and Feasibility (135-150). Ashgate Publishing

This chapter investigates impacts of Variable Message Signs (VMS) on accidents rates and severities on Scottish trunk roads. A before and after analysis of accidents at 14 selected VMS sites in central and north-east Scotland is presented.

Travel demand management and road user pricing : success, failure and feasibility (2009)
Book
Saleh, W., & Sammer, G. (Eds.). (2009). Travel demand management and road user pricing : success, failure and feasibility. Ashgate Publishing

Throughout the world, traffic levels are increasing and, in urban areas, these increasing levels have led to pressures on the road networks which are causing serious economic, environmental and social problems. This book examines the full range of 'p... Read More about Travel demand management and road user pricing : success, failure and feasibility.

Condition monitoring of wooden railway sleepers (2009)
Journal Article
Yella, S., Dougherty, M., & Gupta, N. K. (2009). Condition monitoring of wooden railway sleepers. Transportation Research Part C : Emerging Technologies, 17, 38-55. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trc.2008.06.002

Wooden railway sleeper inspections in Sweden are currently performed manually by a human operator; such inspections are to large extent based on visual analysis. In this paper a machine vision based approach has been considered to emulate the visual... Read More about Condition monitoring of wooden railway sleepers.

Determinants of maritime transport costs – a panel data analysis for Latin American trade (2009)
Journal Article
Wilmsmeier, G., & Martínez-Zarzoso, I. (2010). Determinants of maritime transport costs – a panel data analysis for Latin American trade. Transportation Planning and Technology, 33(1), 105-121. https://doi.org/10.1080/03081060903429447

This paper analyses the determinants of maritime transport costs for intra-Latin American trade over a period of 6 years (1999-2004). The data refer to yearly disaggregated (five-digit level Standard International Classification) containerised mariti...

Investigation of pedestrian accidents analysis at signalised pedestrian crossings in Edinburgh (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Saleh, W., & Alnaqbi, K. (2009, December). Investigation of pedestrian accidents analysis at signalised pedestrian crossings in Edinburgh. Presented at Seventh International Conference of World Association for Sustainable Development (WASD), Bahrain

Data from STATS19 show that pedestrian accident rates are higher over the pedestrian crossing points than these away from it, or within 50 m of pedestrian crossing facilities. This is contrary to the expectations that accidents should be least over t... Read More about Investigation of pedestrian accidents analysis at signalised pedestrian crossings in Edinburgh.

The governance of transport and climate change (2009)
Journal Article
Marsden, G., & Rye, T. (2010). The governance of transport and climate change. Journal of Transport Geography, 18(6), 669-678. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtrangeo.2009.09.014

Climate change is one of the key global policy issues of our time. Transport is the sector from which it has been hardest to cut emissions and, to make substantial progress in the future, action will be required at all levels of government from inter...

Integrated collector storage solar water heater: temperature stratification (2009)
Journal Article
Garnier, C., Currie, J., & Muneer, T. (2009). Integrated collector storage solar water heater: temperature stratification. Applied Energy, 86(9), 1465-1469. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2008.12.009

An analysis of the temperature stratification inside an Integrated Collector Storage Solar Water Heater (ICS-SWH) was carried out. The system takes the form of a rectangular-shaped box incorporating the solar collector and storage tank into a single...

Security assessment of importing solar electricity for the EU (2009)
Journal Article
Asif, M., Currie, J., Muneer, T., & Kubie, J. (2009). Security assessment of importing solar electricity for the EU. Journal of the Energy Institute, 82(2), 102-105. https://doi.org/10.1179/014426009x394008

Prosperity in any society is subject to an adequate and consistent provision of energy. It is crucial
to adopt an energy strategy with least dependence on vulnerable energy supply channels such
as imported oil from foreign/overseas countries. The p... Read More about Security assessment of importing solar electricity for the EU.

Modelling Impacts of Tolling Systems with Multiple User Classes. (2009)
Book Chapter
Stewart, K. (2009). Modelling Impacts of Tolling Systems with Multiple User Classes. In W. Saleh (Ed.), Travel Demand Management and Road User Pricing (73-88). Ashgate Publishing

This paper extends the formulation for SSO to include MUCs (where the different groups of drivers are assigned different generalised cost functions), such that total perceived network travel costs for all classes are minimised and presents an objecti...
