Road maintenance planning using network flow modelling (2015)
Journal Article
Yang, C., Remenyte-Prescott, R., & Andrews, J. (in press). Road maintenance planning using network flow modelling. IMA Journal of Management Mathematics, https://doi.org/10.1093/imaman/dpv031

This paper presents a road maintenance planning model that can be used to balance out maintenance cost and road user cost, since performing road maintenance at night can be convenient for road users but costly for highway agency. Based on the platfor... Read More about Road maintenance planning using network flow modelling.

End barrier shape optimizations and sensitivity analysis of synchrnous reluctance machines (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Galea, M., Di Nardo, M., Gerada, C., Palmieri, M., Gerada, D., Cupertino, F., Degano, M., & Bianchi, N. (2015, November). End barrier shape optimizations and sensitivity analysis of synchrnous reluctance machines. Presented at End barrier shape optimizations and sensitivity analysis of synchrnous reluctance machines, Yokohama, Japan

This paper presents an extensive study on the electromagnetic and structural influences of the end barrier shape of a Synchronous Reluctance Machine (SynRel). One of the most challenging tasks in designing these machines is to achieve a smooth torque...

On the impact of intra-system interference for ranging and positioning with Bluetooth low energy (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Figueiredo e Silva, P., Basiri, A., Lohan, E. S., Pinchin, J., Hill, C., & Moore, T. On the impact of intra-system interference for ranging and positioning with Bluetooth low energy. Presented at 5th International Workshop on Mobile Entity Localization and Tracking in GPS-Less Environments (MELT 2015)

This paper focuses on the study of intra-system interference for ranging and positioning applications using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). While BLE tries to avoid interference with other protocols in the same frequency band, such as Wi-Fi, the intra-sy...
