Detecting deviation from normal driving using SHRP2 NDS data (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Normal driving is naturally the first stage of the crash development sequence. Investigating normal driving can be proved useful for comparisons with safety critical scenarios and also crash prevention. The better we understand it, the more effecti...

Humanoid robot avatars: An 'in the wild' usability study (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper, we report a breaching study to explore the use of a tele-operated humanoid avatar from both the perspective of the robot operator and the perspective of interlocutors. Humanoid robot avatars provide capabilities that video conferencing... Read More about Humanoid robot avatars: An 'in the wild' usability study.

Spatial analysis and simulation of extreme coastal flooding scenarios for national-scale emergency planning (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The UK has a long history of coastal flooding, driven by large-scale low-pressure weather systems which can result in flooding over large spatial areas. Traditional coastal flood risk analysis is, however, often undertaken at local scales and hence d...

National scale multivariate extreme value modelling of waves, winds and sea levels (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

It has long been recognised that extreme coastal flooding can arise from the joint occurrence of extreme waves, winds and sea levels. The standard simplified joint probability approach used in England and Wales can result in an underestimation of flo...

Methodology to assess coastal infrastructure resilience to climate change (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The section of railway which runs along the coastline of south Devon in United Kingdom, from Exeter to Newton Abbot, is one of the most photographed sections of railway in the world. It was opened in 1846 with embankments and seawalls protecting and... Read More about Methodology to assess coastal infrastructure resilience to climate change.

Implementing sustainable construction principles and practices by key stakeholders (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The term ‘sustainable construction’ is used to highlight the responsibility of the construction industry in attaining sustainable development (SD). With the increasing necessity for resource efficiency and climate change adaptation, there is a need f...

How do traffic flow and the emissions they produced vary through the day, week, season and year: evidence from big telematics data (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Preliminary numerical simulations to investigate the kinematics of infant head impact (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Presented is the development of a simulation that allows for preliminary investigation of impact to a 10 day old infant head. A computer-aided drafting (CAD) model is reconstructed from high resolution computerised tomography (CT) scan images and mes...

Chattering analysis of second order sliding mode algorithms for linear plants with disturbance (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

An analysis of second-order sliding-mode algorithms, specially of super-twisting and twisting as a filter algorithm is performed in frequency domain with the use of the describing function method, and is shown that periodic motion happens and the par...

Soil strength properties of some contaminated land in Rivers State, Nigeria (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This study was carried out to investigate the soil strength properties of some contaminated land in Rivers State. Soil samples were collected from three different sites in the state, namely: Idama in Akuku-Toru Local Government Area, Bodo in Gokana L...
