Journal Article
Liao, C.-H., Tseng, P.-H., Cullinane, K., & Lu, C.-S. (2010). The impact of an emerging port on the carbon dioxide emissions of inland container transport: An empirical study of Taipei port. Energy Policy, 38(9), 5251-5257. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enpol.2010.05.018

This study analyzes the changes in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions resulting from the movement of containers from established ports through the emerging port of Taipei in Northern Taiwan. An activity-based emissions model is used to estimate the CO2 e...

Using the land-use planning process to secure travel plans: an assessment of progress in England to date (2010)
Journal Article
Rye, T., Green, C., Young, E., & Ison, S. (2011). Using the land-use planning process to secure travel plans: an assessment of progress in England to date. Journal of Transport Geography, 19(2), 235-243. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtrangeo.2010.05.002

A travel plan is a package of measures implemented by an organisation to encourage people who travel to/from that organisation to do so by means other than driving alone by private car. This paper advances two principal arguments: firstly, that the p... Read More about Using the land-use planning process to secure travel plans: an assessment of progress in England to date.

Weighting the competitiveness factors for container ports under conflicting interests (2010)
Journal Article
Yeo, G. T., Song, D.-W., Dinwoodie, J., & Roe, M. (2010). Weighting the competitiveness factors for container ports under conflicting interests. Journal of the Operational Research Society, 61(8), 1249-1257. https://doi.org/10.1057/jors.2009.88

Generally, an evaluation of container port competitiveness is regarded as a multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem which involves various stakeholders with conflicting interests. To solve MCDM problems, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP)... Read More about Weighting the competitiveness factors for container ports under conflicting interests.

Sustainable transport solution for a medium-sized town in Turkey—A case study (2010)
Journal Article
Muneer, T., Celik, A., & Caliskan, N. (2011). Sustainable transport solution for a medium-sized town in Turkey—A case study. Sustainable Cities and Society (SCS), 1(1), 29-37. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scs.2010.08.004

The United Nations projects that 60% of the world's population will be living in urban areas by 2030. Cities account for 2% of the world's area but 75% of the world's energy consumption. For over a century, the automobile has offered affordable freed... Read More about Sustainable transport solution for a medium-sized town in Turkey—A case study.

Frequency-based transit assignment considering seat capacities (2010)
Journal Article
Schmoecker, J.-D., Fonzone, A., Shimamoto, H., Kurauchi, F., & Bell, M. G. (2011). Frequency-based transit assignment considering seat capacities. Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, 45(2), 392-408. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trb.2010.07.002

This paper proposes a frequency-based assignment model that considers travellers probability of finding a seat in their perception of route cost and hence also their route choice. The model introduces a “fail-to-sit” probability at boarding points wi... Read More about Frequency-based transit assignment considering seat capacities.

Time-dependent Hyperstar algorithm for robust vehicle navigation in time-dependent stochastic road networks. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bell, M. G. H., Trozzi, V., Hosseinloo, S. H., Gentile, G., & Fonzone, A. (2010, July). Time-dependent Hyperstar algorithm for robust vehicle navigation in time-dependent stochastic road networks. Paper presented at 4th International Symposium on Transportation Network Reliability

The vehicle navigation problem studied in Bell (2009) is revisited and a time-dependent reverse Hyperstar algorithm is presented. This minimises the expected time of arrival at the destination, and all intermediate nodes, where expectation is based o...

Sustainable urban transport in Central America - a future without the car? (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Schreffler, E., Umana, N. U., Garcia Moreno, P. S., Mattsson, C., Rye, T., & Carreno, M. (2010, July). Sustainable urban transport in Central America - a future without the car?. Paper presented at World Association of Transportation Research (WCTR)

Is it conceivable to contemplate a future without the car as the center of an urban transportation system? Can emerging economies grow without concomitant growth in car usage? San Pedro Sula, Honduras, is one city at a critical decision point about t... Read More about Sustainable urban transport in Central America - a future without the car?.

Do “hyper-travellers” exist? – Initial results of an international survey on public transport user behaviour. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fonzone, A., Schmoecker, J.-D., Bell, M. G. H., Gentile, G., Kurauchi, F., Noeckel, K., & Wilson, N. H. M. (2010, July). Do “hyper-travellers” exist? – Initial results of an international survey on public transport user behaviour. Paper presented at 12th World Congress on Transport Research

Transport modelling – both in traffic and transit fields – has been traditionally based on the assumption of the utility maximization principle. In public transport networks with high frequency services this has led to “hyperpath” route choice models...

Seat capacity and hyperpath choice on-board: alight or remain seated? (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Schmoecker, J.-D., Shimamoto, H., Kurauchi, F., Fonzone, A., & Bell, M. G. H. (2010, July). Seat capacity and hyperpath choice on-board: alight or remain seated?. Paper presented at 12th World Congress on Transport Research

The rationale for the definition of a set of paths referred to as “hyperpath” is that some uncertainty (for example waiting time) means that the choice of a specific option is not being pre-determined. Rather the choice process is assumed to occur on... Read More about Seat capacity and hyperpath choice on-board: alight or remain seated?.
