What's wrong with freight models and what should we do about it? (2006)
Journal Article
Southworth, F., & Wigan, M. (2006). What's wrong with freight models and what should we do about it?. Transportation research record,

After many years of neglect, freight, freight operations, and commodity flow models are now attracting substantial attention, and there is a wide perception among transportation analysts that they all need a careful overhaul. In this paper the range... Read More about What's wrong with freight models and what should we do about it?.

Social impacts of transport surveillance. (2006)
Journal Article
Wigan, M., & Clarke, R. A. (2006). Social impacts of transport surveillance. Prometheus, 24(4), 389-404. https://doi.org/10.1080/08109020601029961

The transport sector is a natural focal point for surveillance measures to combat the threat of terrorism. It is also a complex environment that offers many examples of the social impacts of contemporary surveillance. Surveillance needs to be assesse...

A silk purse from a sow's ear? predicting current urban freight movements. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pekol, A., Wigan, M., & Hulbert, J. (2005, July). A silk purse from a sow's ear? predicting current urban freight movements. Presented at AITPM Conference: Priority treatment: juggling competing demands

The importance of freight activity in urban areas has increased substantially and is predicted to
continue to rise. However, freight data is difficult to secure, and even more difficult to use in
policy, forecasting and analysis. This is a direct c... Read More about A silk purse from a sow's ear? predicting current urban freight movements..

Matching user demand and technical supply for the design of traveller information systems. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smith, N., Salim, V., Gannon, J., Olaru, D., & Wigan, M. (2005, January). Matching user demand and technical supply for the design of traveller information systems. Presented at Transportation Research Board 84th Annual Meeting

The majority of states across Australia have a publicly funded traveller information service in operation. They clearly provide some benefits to the travelling public, but there has been limited reported analysis of user opinions of the services and...

Demonstrating "Design to Market" for ITS services. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smith, N., Gannon, J., Salim, V., & Wigan, M. (2004, October). Demonstrating "Design to Market" for ITS services. Presented at 11th World Congress on ITS

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) that lead to more efficient and effective road travel, offer the best potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the short term. However, for this potential to be realized, widespread adoption of ITS is nee... Read More about Demonstrating "Design to Market" for ITS services..
