Influence of topology and payload on CO2 optimised vehicle routing
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.

Taxi Supply Controls, UK testing methods, defined and undefined links to demand.
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cooper, J. A. (2010, July). Taxi Supply Controls, UK testing methods, defined and undefined links to demand. Paper presented at Scottish Taxi Federation

This paper is intended to martial some of the key points allied to the operational controls applied to the Scottish taxi industry. Much of the content is also applicable in other parts of the UK, but has been omitted given that the governing legislat...

What do you do with your app? A study of rider decision-making with real-time passenger information.
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fonzone, A. (2015, January). What do you do with your app? A study of rider decision-making with real-time passenger information. Presented at Transportation Research Board 94th Annual Meeting, Washington, DC., USA

Provision of Real-Time Passenger Information (RTPI) is increasingly becoming a fundamental element of the service offered by transit agencies. RTPI changes the way in which travellers perceive public transport services and it can have remarkable cons... Read More about What do you do with your app?

Evaluating the impact of innovative cycling measures in EU cycling cities.
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Stewart, K., O'Dolan, C., & Carreno, M. (2015, April). Evaluating the impact of innovative cycling measures in EU cycling cities. Paper presented at 7th International Travel Demand Management Symposium

The impact of “softer” measures to improve cycling mode share are often difficult to quantify and
assess. The CHAMP project is an Intelligent Energy Europe funded project which brings together a
range of cycling cities across Europe which are all c... Read More about Evaluating the impact of innovative cycling measures in EU cycling cities..

Impact of motorcycle’s driving behaviour on fuel consumption and emissions.
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kumar, R., Saleh, W., & Ocana, L. (2014, January). Impact of motorcycle’s driving behaviour on fuel consumption and emissions. Paper presented at 46th Annual UTSG Conference

Many studies have confirmed that driving behaviour has a great influence on petrol-fuelled than on diesel-fuelled vehicles. Depending on the type of road and vehicle technology, fuel consumption may increase by up to 40% for aggressive driving compar...

Travel Plans for New Developments: A Global Review
Presentation / Conference Contribution
De Gruyter, C., Rose, G., Currie, G., & Rye, T. (2017, January). Travel Plans for New Developments: A Global Review. Presented at Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting

Travel plans, also known as Transportation Demand Management (TDM) plans, can be required for new infill and greenfield developments through the land use planning and approvals process. They aim to manage car use through delivering a package of trans... Read More about Travel Plans for New Developments: A Global Review.
