Evolving solution choice and decision support for a real-world optimisation problem (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Urquhart, N., & Fonzone, A. (2017, July). Evolving solution choice and decision support for a real-world optimisation problem. Presented at Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference on - GECCO '17, Berlin, Germany

Agencies who provide social care services typically have to optimise staff allocations and the travel whilst attempting to satisfy conflicting objectives. In such cases it is desirable to have a range of solutions to choose from, allowing the agenc... Read More about Evolving solution choice and decision support for a real-world optimisation problem.

Why does new transport infrastructure seem to cost more in Scotland and Great Britain than in other northern European countries? (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Rye, T. (2017, May). Why does new transport infrastructure seem to cost more in Scotland and Great Britain than in other northern European countries?. Paper presented at Scottish Transport Applications and Research Conference

There is huge demand for new transport infrastructure as local and national government try to deal with congestion, increase social inclusion or regenerate local economies. A question that is rarely asked, however, is whether we are paying more than...

Cyclist exposure to hand-arm vibration and pavement surface improvement in the City of Edinburgh (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Taylor, M., Edgar, A., & Raine, M. (2017, May). Cyclist exposure to hand-arm vibration and pavement surface improvement in the City of Edinburgh. Paper presented at Scottish Transport Applications and Research Conference

In the city of Edinburgh, pavement surfaces utilised as either shared space or dedicated cycle-paths use a broad range of materials and surface finishes. A poor pavement surface discourages cyclists from selecting certain paths or routes and vibrati...

Cascading feeder vessels and the rationalisation of small container ports. (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Monios, J. (2015, August). Cascading feeder vessels and the rationalisation of small container ports. Presented at International Association of Maritime Economists (IAME)

Small container ports rely on feeder services from hub ports to provide access to unitised trade flows for their hinterlands. They generally possess limited water depth and handling facilities, as investments required to handle larger vessels are not...

The interplay of formal and informal institutions between local and regional authorities when creating well-functioning public transport systems (2017)
Journal Article
Hrelja, R., Monios, J., Rye, T., Isaksson, K., & Scholten, C. (2017). The interplay of formal and informal institutions between local and regional authorities when creating well-functioning public transport systems. International Journal of Sustainable Transportation, 11(8), 611-622. https://doi.org/10.1080/15568318.2017.1292374

This paper analyzes how public transport planning is managed in institutional contexts where governance is spread across local and regional scales. The paper sheds light on two facets of the relationship between local and regional government: first,...
