An emerging form of freight modelling. (2001)
Conference Proceeding
Neffendorf, H., Wigan, M., Donnelly, R., Williams, I., & Collop, M. (2001). An emerging form of freight modelling.

Among transport planning models, freight transport has long been the Cinderella. Despite the critical importance of freight movement and commercial vehicle traffic, the behavioural influences are poorly understood. The typical approach, almost an aft...

The Effects of Detector Spacing on Traffic Forecasting Performance Using Neural Networks (2001)
Journal Article
Chen, H., Dougherty, M. S., & Kirby, H. R. (2001). The Effects of Detector Spacing on Traffic Forecasting Performance Using Neural Networks. Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, 16(6), 422-430. https://doi.org/10.1111/0885-9507.00244

An investigation was made as to how short-term traffic forecasting on motorways and other trunk roads is related to the density of detectors. Forecasting performances with respect to different detector spaces have been investigated with both simulate...

Energy use and transport correlation linking personal and travel related energy uses to the urban structure (2001)
Journal Article
Cooper, J., Ryley, T., Smyth, A., & Granzow, E. (2001). Energy use and transport correlation linking personal and travel related energy uses to the urban structure. Environmental Science and Policy, 4(6), 307-318. https://doi.org/10.1016/s1462-9011%2801%2900030-2

This paper considers relationships between sustainability objectives, transport, spatial design of the built environment and rational use of energy. Conventional transport modelling, housing supply and energy assessment tools are drawn together to pr...

Energy Trade-offs and Market Responses in Transport and Residential Land-use Patterns: Promoting Sustainable Development Policy (2001)
Journal Article
Cooper, J. A., Ryley, T. J., & Smyth, A. (2001). Energy Trade-offs and Market Responses in Transport and Residential Land-use Patterns: Promoting Sustainable Development Policy. Urban Studies, 38(9), 1573-1588. https://doi.org/10.1080/00420980126673

Sustainable development policy is examined for the Belfast Metropolitan Area using a range of linked aggregate and disaggregate models. Energy trade-offs were modelled for both 'stationary' private dwellings and 'mobile' traffic-related energy source...

Menu sonification in a mobile phone – A prototype study. (2001)
Conference Proceeding
Helle, S., LePlâtre, G., Marila, J., & Laine, P. (2001). Menu sonification in a mobile phone – A prototype study.

We have studied the effect and acceptance of a sonified menu structure in a mobile phone. In this experiment, mobile phones with a special software were given to test users for a period of three weeks. Sonification design was done using earcons, and...

Agent-based modelling of pedestrian movements: the questions that need to be asked and answered. (2001)
Journal Article
Kerridge, J., Hine, J., & Wigan, M. (2001). Agent-based modelling of pedestrian movements: the questions that need to be asked and answered. Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design, 28(3), 327-341. https://doi.org/10.1068/b2696

Vulnerable road users have steadily attracted increased importance in transport and planning. The behaviour of pedestrian movements (especially in the areas off but adjacent to roads) requires improved tools to address the issues now being raised. Su...

The measurement of vehicular driving cycle within the city of Edinburgh (2001)
Journal Article
Esteves-Booth, A., Muneer, T., Kirby, H., Kubie, J., & Hunter, J. (2001). The measurement of vehicular driving cycle within the city of Edinburgh. Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment, 6(3), 209-220. https://doi.org/10.1016/S1361-9209%2800%2900024-9

In this paper, the development of a driving cycle for the urban area of the city of Edinburgh is presented. The driving cycle was obtained from recorded data in actual traffic conditions, using the car chase technique. A new statistical method of ana...

Contemporary lifestyles and the implications for sustainable development policy: lessons from the UK's most car dependent city, Belfast (2001)
Journal Article
Cooper, J., Ryley, T., & Smyth, A. (2001). Contemporary lifestyles and the implications for sustainable development policy: lessons from the UK's most car dependent city, Belfast. Cities, 18(2), 103-113. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0264-2751%2800%2900062-7

The rise in demand for car travel is fuelled more by the increased spatial separation of homes and workplaces, shops and schools than by any rise in trip making. Belfast is one of the most car dependent cities in the United Kingdom. A major household...

Competing with CRS-generated information in the airline industry (2001)
Journal Article
Pemberton, J., Stonehouse, G., & Barber, C. E. (2001). Competing with CRS-generated information in the airline industry. Journal of Strategic Information Systems, 10(1), 59-76. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0963-8687%2801%2900042-7

For over 20 years, computer reservation systems (CRSs) have been cited as a source of competitive advantage for the airlines that developed them. This paper reviews the developments that have given rise to such advantage, emphasising the use of CRS-g... Read More about Competing with CRS-generated information in the airline industry.
