A remote marriage: The theory and practice of being apart and staying together. (2008)
Book Chapter
Wigan, M. (2008). A remote marriage: The theory and practice of being apart and staying together. In S. Holland (Ed.), Remote relationships in a small world (277-284). Peter Land

Small children, a time consuming job, and remote living are not conducive to a happy life. Why does one choose to do it? If one has to, how can one arrange one's life to make a family work? What can communications do to help? It is easy to ask the qu... Read More about A remote marriage: The theory and practice of being apart and staying together..

Contestable evidence based policy-the role of information sharing. (2008)
Conference Proceeding
Wigan, M. (2008). Contestable evidence based policy-the role of information sharing.

There are three elements required for public policy to be both credible and effective. These are not necessarily the factors that all parties would agree to, but provide a common ground on which constructive disagreements can be founded. The first...

Modelling motorcyclist injury severity by various crash types at T-junctions in the UK (2008)
Journal Article

Motorcyclists tend to be more vulnerable to injuries than those using other motorised vehicles and this may act synergistically with the complexity of conflicting movements between vehicles and motorcycles to increase injury severity in a junction-ty...

Exploring motorcyclist injury severity in approach-turn collisions at T-junctions: Focusing on the effects of driver's failure to yield and junction control measures (2008)
Journal Article

Research has suggested that motorcyclists involved in approach-turn crashes were much more injurious than any other crash-type. This paper investigates the determinants of motorcyclist injury severity resulting from such crash types that occurred at...

The impact of governance development models on urban rail efficiency (2008)
Journal Article
Jain, P., Cullinane, S., & Cullinane, K. (2008). The impact of governance development models on urban rail efficiency. Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, 42, 1238-1250. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tra.2008.03.012

Influenced by the twin forces of globalization and urbanization, many cities are developing urban rail transit systems (URTS). The policies and ownership structures within which they are developed have a profound impact upon their efficiency. This pa...

International oligopoly and stock market linkages: The case of global airlines (2008)
Journal Article
Gong, S. X. H., Firth, M., & Cullinane, K. (2008). International oligopoly and stock market linkages: The case of global airlines. Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review, 44, 621-636. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tre.2007.05.008

This paper investigates the effect of oligopolistic rivalry on spillovers in financial reporting. Using an event study methodology and focusing on global airlines, we find that firms experience discernable abnormal stock price reactions at the announ...

Traffic and road sign recognition (2008)
Thesis
Fleyeh, H. Traffic and road sign recognition. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/9466

This thesis presents a system to recognise and classify road and traffic signs for the purpose of developing an inventory of them which could assist the highway engineers' tasks of updating and maintaining them. It uses images taken by a camera from... Read More about Traffic and road sign recognition.

Visual gaze behaviour of children and adult pedestrians at a signalized road crossings. (2008)
Journal Article
Egan, C. D., Willis, A., Ness, H., & Stradling, S. G. (2007). Visual gaze behaviour of children and adult pedestrians at a signalized road crossings. Perception, 37, (149). ISSN 0301-0066

Underdeveloped visual search strategies may be a contributing factor to children's involvement in pedestrian accidents. Although laboratory-based research suggests that the ability to detect targets in a cluttered scene may be less efficient in child...

There is a demonstrable link between parking availability, price and mode choice, and parking policy has been shown to be a powerful demand management tool. Parking however is clearly an area of policy conflict since using it to manage demand may red... Read More about The role of market research and consultation in developing parking policy.
