Position Paper: The Usefulness of Data-driven, Intelligent Agent-Based Modelling for Transport Infrastructure Management (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Faboya, O., Figueredo, G. P., Ryan, B., & Siebers, P.-O. (2018, November). Position Paper: The Usefulness of Data-driven, Intelligent Agent-Based Modelling for Transport Infrastructure Management. Presented at The 21st IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems, Maui, Hawaii, USA

The uneven utilisation of modes of transport has a big impact on traffic in transport pathway infrastrutures. For motor vehicles for instance, this situation explains rapid road deterioration and the large amounts of money invested in maintenance and...

How do travellers decide: a stochastic modelling approach to determine decision factor significance (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Olusola, F. T., Siebers, O., Ryan, B., & Figueredo, G. P. (2018, September). How do travellers decide: a stochastic modelling approach to determine decision factor significance. Presented at European Modeling and Simulation Symposium 2018 (EMSS2018), Budapest, Hungary

Many factors are involved in travellers' mode choice decision processes. Such factors include individuals' physical, cognitive, and emotional abilities, which play a significant role in travellers' attitude and mode usage patterns. Understanding how...

Readiness to Change: Perceptions of Safety Culture up and down the Supply Chain (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Stiles, S., Ryan, B., & Golightly, D. (2018, December). Readiness to Change: Perceptions of Safety Culture up and down the Supply Chain. Presented at 20th Congress of the International Ergonomics Association, Florence, Italy

Safety culture research tends to treat organisations as a single body, with less focus on understanding how perceptions vary in a multi stakeholder environment. One such example of a multi-stakeholder environment is a construction project. The succes... Read More about Readiness to Change: Perceptions of Safety Culture up and down the Supply Chain.

Getting the Right Culture to Make Safety Systems Work in a Complex Rail Industry (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nolan-McSweeney, M., Ryan, B., & Cobb, S. (2018, December). Getting the Right Culture to Make Safety Systems Work in a Complex Rail Industry. Presented at 20th Congress of the International Ergonomics Association (IEA 2018), Florence, Italy

Network Rail is a large rail engineering company sitting within a complex industrial landscape. That said, Britain’s railways are the safest they have ever been. However, it is acknowledged that there is still room for improvement in safety and oper... Read More about Getting the Right Culture to Make Safety Systems Work in a Complex Rail Industry.

Classifying Normal and Suspicious Behaviours When Accessing Public Locations (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ryan, B., & Vijayan, A. (2018, December). Classifying Normal and Suspicious Behaviours When Accessing Public Locations. Presented at Proceedings of the 20th Congress of the International Ergonomics Association (IEA 2018)

In order to identify and respond appropriately to suspicious behaviour in public locations, it can be important to understand the typical behaviours in a particular setting. An observation study has been carried out at two libraries to explore the en... Read More about Classifying Normal and Suspicious Behaviours When Accessing Public Locations.

It can be difficult to select from available safety preventative measures, especially where there is limited evidence of effectiveness in different contexts. This paper describes application of a method to identify and evaluate wide-ranging preventat...
