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)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Helle, S., LePlâtre, G., Marila, J., & Laine, P. (2001, July). Menu sonification in a mobile phone – A prototype study. Presented at The Seventh International Conference on Auditory Display, ICAD2001

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.

PEDFLOW: development of an autonomous agent model of pedestrian flow. (2001)
Journal Article
Kukla, R., Kerridge, J., Willis, A., & Hine, J. (2001). PEDFLOW: development of an autonomous agent model of pedestrian flow. Transportation research record, 1774, 11-17. https://doi.org/10.3141/1774-02

The paper discusses the need for an autonomous agent approach for the modeling of pedestrians in urban
environments and places PEDFLOW in the context of existing models. PEDFLOW is a microscopic model
of pedestrians’ movement, where each pedestrian... Read More about PEDFLOW: development of an autonomous agent model of pedestrian flow..

Valuing long haul and metropolitan freight travel time and reliability. (2000)
Journal Article
Wigan, M., Rockcliffe, N., Thoresen, T., & Tsolakis, D. (2000). Valuing long haul and metropolitan freight travel time and reliability. Journal of transportation and statistics, 3,

Most evaluations and economic assessments of
transport proposals and policies in Australia omit
a valuation of the time spent in transit for individual
items or loads of freight. Knowing about
delays, and indeed the practical value of reliability... Read More about Valuing long haul and metropolitan freight travel time and reliability..
