Exploring the use and perception of shared bikes for commuting and business travel on the urban fringe (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Globally, bike-share schemes are in a state of flux; 1,977 public schemes are currently operating but another 835 have closed (Meddin et al., 2021), as new ‘fifth generation’ schemes (typically dockless) compete with each other and squeeze the more m...

A web-based Decision Support System (DSS) for preliminary risk assessment of Brownfield sites (2021)
Thesis

Reusing brownfield sites always raises concern for the health and safety of site workers involved in site renovations and redevelopments and, subsequently, for the residents or occupants of the sites. As a minimum, a preliminary risk assessment is ne... Read More about A web-based Decision Support System (DSS) for preliminary risk assessment of Brownfield sites.

Safety assessment review of a dressing assistance robot (2021)
Journal Article

Hazard analysis methods such as HAZOP and STPA have proven to be effective methods for assurance of system safety for years. However, the dimensionality and human factors uncertainty of many assistive robotic applications challenges the capability of...

Monitoring companion for industrial robotic processes (2021)
Thesis

For system integrators, optimizing complex industrial robotic applications (e.g. robotised welding) is a difficult and time-consuming task. This procedure is rendered tedious and often very hard to achieve when the operator cannot access the robotic... Read More about Monitoring companion for industrial robotic processes.

A blow-up dichotomy for semilinear fractional heat equations (2020)
Journal Article

We derive a blow-up dichotomy for positive solutions of fractional semilinear heat equations on the whole space. That is, within a certain class of convex source terms, we establish a necessary and sufficient condition on the source for all positive...

Putting users at the centre of MaaS (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The rapid emergence of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) into the transport sector’s lexicon has brought with it an air of expectation that suggests a future mobility revolution. The authors take an action-oriented approach putting MaaS theory into practi... Read More about Putting users at the centre of MaaS.

Towards an automated photogrammetry-based approach for monitoring and controlling construction site activities (2020)
Thesis

The construction industry has a poor productivity record, which was predominantly ascribed to inadequate monitoring of how a project is progressing at any given time. Most available approaches do not offer key stakeholders a shared understanding of p...

Development of design criteria for novel 3D-printed quadric-surfaced sludge digesters for wastewater infrastructure (2020)
Thesis

The quadric-surfaced sludge digester (QSD), also known as the egg-shaped sludge digester, has proven its advantages over traditional cylindrical digesters recently. A reduction in operational cost is the dominant factor. Its shell can be described as...

What is urban nature and how do we perceive it? (2020)
Book Chapter

This chapter discusses the complexities and apparent contradictions in defining ‘nature’ and ‘urban nature’ in the context of human-nature interactions. It explains why urban nature is so important to human health and well-being at this point in the... Read More about What is urban nature and how do we perceive it?.

Defining strawberry shape uniformity using 3D imaging and genetic mapping (2020)
Journal Article

Strawberry shape uniformity is a complex trait, influenced by multiple genetic and environmental components. To complicate matters further, the phenotypic assessment of strawberry uniformity is confounded by the difficulty of quantifying geometric pa...
