A model of bus bunching under reliability-based passenger arrival patterns. (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fonzone, A., Schmöcker, J.-D., & Liu, R. (2015, August). A model of bus bunching under reliability-based passenger arrival patterns. Presented at 21st International Symposium on Transportation and Traffic Theory, Kobe, Japan

If bus service departure times are not completely unknown to the passengers, non-uniform passenger arrival patterns can be expected. We propose that passengers decide their arrival time at stops based on a continuous logit model that considers the ri...

Automating condition monitoring of vegetation on railway trackbeds and embankments (2015)
Thesis
Nyberg, R. G. Automating condition monitoring of vegetation on railway trackbeds and embankments. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/462294

Vegetation growing on railway trackbeds and embankments present potential problems. The presence of vegetation threatens the safety of personnel inspecting the railway infrastructure. In addition vegetation growth clogs the ballast and results in ina... Read More about Automating condition monitoring of vegetation on railway trackbeds and embankments.

Modelling behavioural responses to tolling by microsimulation (2015)
Thesis
Martínez del Rincón, E. M. Modelling behavioural responses to tolling by microsimulation. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/8855

Over the past few decades there has been a renewed interest in road pricing. This has come about due to the increasing realisation of the negative effects of unrestrained car use, such as, the impact of congestion on the economy and pollution on the...
