A software framework for the microscopic modelling of pedestrian movement (2007)
Thesis
Kukla, R. A software framework for the microscopic modelling of pedestrian movement. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3927

A town planner, faced with the task of designing attractive walking spaces, needs a tool that will allow different designs to be compared in terms of their attractiveness as well as their effectiveness. PEDFLOW is an attempt to create such a tool. It... Read More about A software framework for the microscopic modelling of pedestrian movement.

Use of radar devices in road traffic surveys (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Colonna, P., Guaragnella, C., Ranieri, V., & Fonzone, A. (2007, September). Use of radar devices in road traffic surveys. Presented at 4th SIIV International Congress "Advances in Transport Infrastructures and stakeholders expectations", Palermo, Italy

The Department of Roads and Transportation of Polytechnic University of Bari owns CW radar devices for road traffic surveys. The radars can be used to measure traffic volumes and vehicle lengths and speeds. Radar’s manual suggests to refer to measure... Read More about Use of radar devices in road traffic surveys.

Taxi Licensing, Regulation and Control: An analysis of taxi supply in medium sized UK cities (2007)
Thesis
Cooper, J. M. Taxi Licensing, Regulation and Control: An analysis of taxi supply in medium sized UK cities. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/7242

The primary objective of this thesis is to provide a new approach to optimizing the supply of taxis as applied in UK cities. Taxi supply, both in the UK and elsewhere, is controlled by a series of regulations (defined in relation to controls affectin...

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...

Modelling pedestrian movement on sidewalks (2007)
Journal Article
Raeside, R., & Al-Azzawi, M. (2007). Modelling pedestrian movement on sidewalks. Journal of Urban Planning and Development, 133, 211-219. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%290733-9488%282007%29133%3A3%28211%29

Several models have been created over the years that are used in simulation packages to predict pedestrian speed and flow on sidewalks. However, the predictive power of these models has been weak. In this paper the results of a modeling exercise in t... Read More about Modelling pedestrian movement on sidewalks.

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.
