Position Paper: The Usefulness of Data-driven, Intelligent Agent-Based Modelling for Transport Infrastructure Management (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Faboya, O., Figueredo, G. P., Ryan, B., & Siebers, P. (2018). Position Paper: The Usefulness of Data-driven, Intelligent Agent-Based Modelling for Transport Infrastructure Management. In The 21st IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems (144-149). https://doi.org/10.1109/ITSC.2018.8569946

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...

Classifying Normal and Suspicious Behaviours When Accessing Public Locations (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Ryan, B., & Vijayan, A. (2018). Classifying Normal and Suspicious Behaviours When Accessing Public Locations. In IEA 2018: Proceedings of the 20th Congress of the International Ergonomics Association (IEA 2018), 101-112. doi:10.1007/978-3-319-96074-6_11

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.

In IEA 2018: Proceedings of the 20th Congress of the International Ergonomics Association (IEA 2018) Volume VI: Transport Ergonomics and Human Factors (TEHF), Aerospace Human Factors and Ergonomics (489-503). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-96074-6_52

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.

Evaluating rail suicide prevention measures (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Ryan, B., Wronska, U., & Stevens, I. (2017). Evaluating rail suicide prevention measures.

Many rail safety interventions are implemented without sufficient consideration of the effectiveness of the intervention or the degree to which the intervention has been implemented. This paper describes a programme of work to develop, test and imple... Read More about Evaluating rail suicide prevention measures.

Using contextual information in the evaluation of the effectiveness of barriers restricting access to the main line at stations (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Wronska, U., & Ryan, B. (2017). Using contextual information in the evaluation of the effectiveness of barriers restricting access to the main line at stations.

The use of fencing at railway stations to reduce the numbers of fatalities is a common safety intervention. This study examines the effectiveness of a mid-platform fencing programme as a means of preventing access to the track area. Two aspects of th...
