Acquisition, efficiency and scale economies: An analysis of the British bus industry (2002)
Journal Article
Cowie, J. (2002). Acquisition, efficiency and scale economies: An analysis of the British bus industry. Transport Reviews, 22(2), 147-157. https://doi.org/10.1080/014416400110076267

The British Bus industry has undergone considerable transformation since privatization. Five major operators have emerged to dominate the market, a position almost exclusively attained through acquisition. This paper reviews the economies of scale ar...

Application of context-mediated behavior to a multi-agent pedestrian flow model (PEDFLOW). (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kukla, R., Willis, A., & Kerridge, J. (2003, January). Application of context-mediated behavior to a multi-agent pedestrian flow model (PEDFLOW). Presented at 82th Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board (TRB)

Developers of pedestrian models often overlook the fact that pedestrians are subjected to a multitude of influences when walking. The majority of existing models only focus on a single aspect, typically the avoidance of obstructions or other pedestri...

An assessment of the economic impact of the Skye Bridge tolls: research report. (2002)
Report
McQuaid, R. W., & Greig, M. (2002). An assessment of the economic impact of the Skye Bridge tolls: research report

Outlines the background leading to the commissioning of this report from Napier University,
reviews the findings which point to the present Bridge tolls regime as suppressing the economy of
Skye, and presents the case for early reduction in the lev... Read More about An assessment of the economic impact of the Skye Bridge tolls: research report..

Understanding the growth in service trips and developing transport modelling approaches to commercial, service and light goods movements. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wigan, M., Browne, M., Allen, J., & Anderson, S. (2002, September). Understanding the growth in service trips and developing transport modelling approaches to commercial, service and light goods movements. Presented at Association for European Transport

Freight modelling and analysis has recently risen in importance. However although the concentration to date on specifically 'freight' vehicles and lorries has begun to cover the bulk of commodity tonnage flows, it has not properly addressed the mix o...

Open transport modeling networking for transportation applications. (2002)
Preprint / Working Paper
Wigan, M., & Drain, P. Open transport modeling networking for transportation applications

Transport modeling has developed to a stage where there is a wide range of tools, but a high level
of dependence on commercial systems. Recent developments in software and licensing
approaches have underpinned the rapid development of robust open s... Read More about Open transport modeling networking for transportation applications..

Motorcycles as a Full Mode of Transportation (2002)
Journal Article
Wigan, M. (2002). Motorcycles as a Full Mode of Transportation. Transportation research record, 1818(1), 39-46. https://doi.org/10.3141/1818-06

Motorcycles usually are treated solely on the basis of their safety characteristics and very rarely as a mode of transportation with benefits and costs, placing safety issues in a full transportation context. The standard transportation issues of tra... Read More about Motorcycles as a Full Mode of Transportation.
