Environmental impacts of shared e-scooters
Shared scooters can cut emissions, but their benefit depends on how they are operated and which journeys they replace. The project developed a transparent…

Explaining e-scooter demand
Cities need to decide where shared scooters fit within their transport networks. A single pilot offers a limited view: observed demand may reflect the…

NHS – Carbon accounting and analytical review
Measuring the carbon footprint of a health service is substantially more complicated than adding together energy bills and fleet mileage. NHS emissions extend across…

Railway incidents become network delays
For a dispatcher, an incident’s duration is only part of the problem. Similar incidents can have different consequences depending on their location, service frequency…

Recovering urban activity patterns from digital traces
Travel analysis benefits from knowing not only where people move and what they are doing at the places they visit. Conventional travel surveys provide…

Do shared rides reduce traffic?
Our study of Jetty in Mexico City assessed the journeys its users would otherwise make and the empty travel needed to provide the service…

A meta-model for transport network roadworks
Roadworks interact with demand, network structure and alternative routes. A planner may need to compare many combinations of closed sections and demand levels before…

Designing the model architecture for software agnostic transport model suite
A policy can change where households and firms locate, how people organise a day, and how vehicles move through the network. These effects unfold…

Modelling Ride Hailing Fleets with V2G
Vehicle-to-grid technology turns an electric fleet into a mobile energy resource. The same battery must still deliver trips, so charging and discharging decisions affect…
Case study
Modelling shared autonomous services with a dynamic network equilibrium
Travellers choose routes and departure times in response to congestion. At the same time, a shared autonomous vehicle operator links bookings into vehicle chains.…

Network modelling for parking search
Parking occupancy is both an outcome of demand and a cause of traffic. Drivers may pass several locations, weigh price and walking distance against…
