Modelling how changes in the driving cycle affect fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emission rates: the first stage. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kirby, H. (2006, November). Modelling how changes in the driving cycle affect fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emission rates: the first stage

This paper describes a simplified procedure for estimating the fuel consumed and carbon dioxide emitted as a result of traffic demand management measures or other policy instruments. The usual methods may be based on second-by-second traffic simulati...

A symbolic investigation of controller design for a single inverted pendulum system. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Woodham, C. A., & Su, H. (2002, July). A symbolic investigation of controller design for a single inverted pendulum system. Paper presented at ICCAM 2002

The two dimensional inverted pendulum is unstable in that it may fall over at any time in either direction unless a suitable control force is applied. This paper designs a controller numerically and symbolically by using Ackermann's formula of the Po...
