The role of contestable processes in advancing sustainability in transport and planning. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wigan, M. (2010, June). The role of contestable processes in advancing sustainability in transport and planning. Presented at GAMUT International conference

Sustainable transport requires not only solid evidence to support policy and practice, but also to allow this to be examined with a high degree of transparency. Not all technical reports have the supporting evidence (or indeed models) made readily av... Read More about The role of contestable processes in advancing sustainability in transport and planning..

How best to evaluate mobility management projects: can psychological theory help? (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Carreno, M., Bamberg, S., Rye, T., & Welsch, J. (2010, July). How best to evaluate mobility management projects: can psychological theory help?. Presented at World Association of Transportation Research (WCTR)

In order to persuade both policy makers and practitioners to adopt mobility management (MM) strategies there is a need for these decision makers to accept, understand and be able to predict (with confidence) their likely effectiveness. To satisfy the... Read More about How best to evaluate mobility management projects: can psychological theory help?.

The effects of network density of a new counter-based broadcasting scheme in mobile ad hoc networks. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yassein, M. B., Nimer, S. F., & Al-Dubai, A. (2010, June). The effects of network density of a new counter-based broadcasting scheme in mobile ad hoc networks

Broadcasting is an essential operation in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) to transmit the message (data packet) from the sender to all other nodes in the network. Flooding is the simplest mechanism for broadcast operations, where each node retransmit...

Walking, talking and looking: effects of divided attention on gaze behaviour and visual search performance in a real-world environment (2010)
Journal Article
Wincenciak, J., Egan, C. D., & Willis, A. (2010). Walking, talking and looking: effects of divided attention on gaze behaviour and visual search performance in a real-world environment. Perception, 39, 35

Visually-guided behaviour in the laboratory may not always reflect that in larger-scale environments, using more realistic tasks. (eg Smith et al, 2008 Cogn Process 9 121-126). Here, we explored (1) what people look at; (2) how quickly they find a ta...

Evolution of shipping networks: current challenges in emerging markets (2010)
Journal Article
Wilmsmeier, G., & Sánchez, R. (2010). Evolution of shipping networks: current challenges in emerging markets. Zeitschrift für Wirtschaftsgeographie, 54, 180-193

Maritime transport is a key facilitator of global trade. Competitiveness in world trade depends, among other factors, on a country’s level of connectivity and its integration in the global container liner service network. Recent investigations show t...

Regional hub port development – the case of Montevideo Uruguay. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wilmsmeier, G., Martínez-Zarzoso, I., & Fiess, N. (2010, July). Regional hub port development – the case of Montevideo Uruguay

This paper reflects on port development in Uruguay in an environment of trilateral interport competition. The regional characteristics of port development in terms of their geographical, functional and operational characteristics are discussed by ana...

Contextual port development: a theoretical approach. (2010)
Book Chapter
Sánchez, R., & Wilmsmeier, G. (2010). Contextual port development: a theoretical approach. In P. Coto-Millán, M. Pesquera, & J. Castanedo (Eds.), Essays on Port Economics (19-44). Physica-Verlag HD. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-7908-2425-4_3

Ports play a critical role as gateways and facilitators of trade. In the last 20 years, ports have undergone an intensive evolution in trying to adapt to a changing environment (change in demand, etc.). The results and models from this evolution proc...

Influence of topology and payload on CO2 optimised vehicle routing (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Scott, C., Urquhart, N. B., & Hart, E. (2010, April). Influence of topology and payload on CO2 optimised vehicle routing. Presented at European Conference on the Applications of Evolutionary Computation EvoApplications 2010: Applications of Evolutionary Computation, Istanbul

This paper investigates the influence of gradient and payload correction factors used within a CO2 emission model on the solutions to shortest path and travelling salesman problems when applied to freight delivery.
Problem instances based on real li... Read More about Influence of topology and payload on CO2 optimised vehicle routing.

International transport costs and the margins of Intra-Latin American maritime trade (2010)
Journal Article
Martínez-Zarzoso, I., & Wilmsmeier, G. (2010). International transport costs and the margins of Intra-Latin American maritime trade. Aussenwirtschaft, 65, 49-72

This paper focuses on the analysis of the relationship between maritime trade and transport cost in Latin America. The analysis is based on disaggregated (SITC 5 digit level) trade data for intra Latin maritime trade routes over the period 1999-2004....

Stochastic based models for low volume road (LVR) network management. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mandiartha, P., Duffield, C. F., Thompson, R. G., & Wigan, M. (2010, October). Stochastic based models for low volume road (LVR) network management. Presented at 24th ARRB conference

A major challenge faced by road authorities is to manage road networks within budget constraints and the uncertainty associated in predicting future performance of pavements; this is particularly true for the low volume road network. Road authorities... Read More about Stochastic based models for low volume road (LVR) network management..

The passenger car unit values of motorcycles at the beginning of a green period and in a saturation flow. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The aim of this study is to estimate the Passenger Car Unit
(PCU) values of motorcycles in two traffic environments: at
the beginning of a green period and in a saturation flow.
Motorcycles are able to undertake both lane-based and
non-lane-based... Read More about The passenger car unit values of motorcycles at the beginning of a green period and in a saturation flow..
