X-Inefficiency in British railway engineering. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cowie, J. (2010, July). X-Inefficiency in British railway engineering. Paper presented at World Association of Transportation Research (WCTR),

Over the last decade, British railway engineering has come under increased scrutiny, with general perceptions of massive maintenance cost escalations and a general lack of control over these costs. Very little however has appeared in the academic lit... Read More about X-Inefficiency in British railway engineering..

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cooper, J. A. (2010, July). Taxi Supply Controls, UK testing methods, defined and undefined links to demand. Paper presented at Scottish Taxi Federation

This paper is intended to martial some of the key points allied to the operational controls applied to the Scottish taxi industry. Much of the content is also applicable in other parts of the UK, but has been omitted given that the governing legislat...

Selecting potentially optimal routes through optimistic and pessimistic node potentials. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fonzone, A., Schmoecker, J.-D., & Bell, M. G. H. (2010, July). Selecting potentially optimal routes through optimistic and pessimistic node potentials. Paper presented at The Third International Symposium on Dynamic Traffic Assignment

Existing assignment or route guidance models are not suitable to represent travellers` choices or to advise travellers in networks in which each link may be subject to failure with an unknown probability. A heuristic approach to select potentially op... Read More about Selecting potentially optimal routes through optimistic and pessimistic node potentials..

Cutting vehicle emissions with regenerative braking (2010)
Journal Article
Clarke, P., Muneer, T., & Cullinane, K. (2010). Cutting vehicle emissions with regenerative braking. Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment, 15(3), 160-167. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trd.2009.11.002

This paper presents an analysis of vehicle regenerative braking systems as a quick and relatively easy means of achieving higher overall fuel efficiency and lowering carbon emissions. The system involves the installation of an additional electric mot... Read More about Cutting vehicle emissions with regenerative braking.

Redefining maritime transport infrastructure (2010)
Journal Article
Baird, A. (2010). Redefining maritime transport infrastructure. Proceedings of the ICE - Civil Engineering, 163(5), 29-33. https://doi.org/10.1680/cien.2010.163.5.29

Aided by investigation and analysis of European maritime policies and ongoing transport network developments, this paper redefines maritime transport infrastructure as the ships themselves rather than just the ports at each end. It argues that the se... Read More about Redefining maritime transport infrastructure.

The potential for ‘Green’ fiscal measures to lessen the environmental impact of private car use in Scotland. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Borthwick, S. (2010, May). The potential for ‘Green’ fiscal measures to lessen the environmental impact of private car use in Scotland. Paper presented at FECCI Postgraduate Research Conference

The system of vehicle taxation has been identified as a crucial element in the transport policy agenda, particularly in facilitating the transition towards lower emission vehicles. The research seeks to add insight into the psychology behind the purc... Read More about The potential for ‘Green’ fiscal measures to lessen the environmental impact of private car use in Scotland..

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..

The efficiency analysis of container port production using DEA panel data approaches (2010)
Journal Article
Cullinane, K., & Wang, T. (2010). The efficiency analysis of container port production using DEA panel data approaches. OR Spectrum, 32(3), 717-738. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00291-010-0202-7

Applications of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to container port production have been largely restricted to standard DEA models using cross-sectional data. The efficiency results derived may be biased; for instance, as the result of random effects o... Read More about The efficiency analysis of container port production using DEA panel data approaches.
