Active travel: Its fall and rise (2015)
Book Chapter
Transport, by definition, involves movement; and different methods of movement require different levels of physical activity on the part of the traveller. The intensity of activity may also vary, for example depending on the speed of cycling. A usefu... Read More about Active travel: Its fall and rise.
Delivering healthy places: The role of the private sector (2015)
Book Chapter
The chapter provides a critique of how the private sector can contribute to healthy sustainable communities.
The same mode again? An exploration of mode choice variability in Great Britain using the National Travel Survey (2015)
Journal Article
© 2015 The Authors. The main focus of travel behaviour research has been explaining differences in behaviour between individuals (interpersonal variability) with less emphasis given to the variability of behaviour within individuals (intrapersonal va...

Retrofitting suburbia for health: Scenarios for neighbourhood planning (2015)
Book Chapter
Barton and Grant, discuss neighbourhood design in depth. The concept and importance of the ‘neighbourhood’ as a setting for health is presented. Spatial patterning of urban growth fits into a number of archetypes, dictated by either market forces or... Read More about Retrofitting suburbia for health: Scenarios for neighbourhood planning.
Bistable minimum energy structures (BiMES) for binary robotics (2015)
Journal Article
© 2015 IOP Publishing Ltd. Bistable minimum energy structures (BiMES) are devices derived from the union of the concepts of dielectric elastomer minimum energy structures and bistable systems. This article presents this novel approach to active, elas... Read More about Bistable minimum energy structures (BiMES) for binary robotics.
Urban air quality in historical perspective – or why we fail to learn the lessons of history (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
This keynote presentation explored contemporary issues of air pollution through the lens provided by history. It presents a perspective drawn from an analysis of historical, and mostly failed, attempts to manage air pollution from classical time...

Stochastic domain decomposition for time dependent adaptive mesh generation (2015)
Journal Article
The efficient generation of meshes is an important component in the numerical solution of problems in physics and engineering. Of interest are situations where global mesh quality and a tight coupling to the solution of the physical partial different...

Energy justice? A spatial analysis of variations in household direct energy consumption in the UK (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Targets for reductions in carbon emissions and energy use are usually framed in terms of national and international percentage reductions. However, the amount of energy used by households varies greatly, with some households using considerably more t... Read More about Energy justice? A spatial analysis of variations in household direct energy consumption in the UK.
On the evolution of behaviors through embodied imitation (2015)
Journal Article
© 2015 Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Abstract This article describes research in which embodied imitation and behavioral adaptation are investigated in collective robotics. We model social learning in artificial agents with real robots. The... Read More about On the evolution of behaviors through embodied imitation.
