A merging model for motorway traffic
Motorway merging has long been regarded as a major source of conflicts and congestion on motorways. Traditional studies of merging behaviour are based on gap acceptance models developed mainly for urban intersections, which tend to oversimplify the very complex dynamic interactive merging behaviour …

The Tara/Skryne Valley and the M3 Motorway; Development vs. Heritage.
… the conflict concerning the building of the MB motorway in an archaeologically sensitive area close to the Hill of Tara in Co. Meath. The main aim of this thesis was to examine the conflict between development and heritage in relation to the Tara/Skryne Valley; therefore the focus has been to …

Development of a micro-simulation model for motorway roadworks with the use of narrow lanes and lane closure schemes
… a newly developed micro-simulation model for motorway roadwork sections to evaluate the efficiency of different temporary traffic management schemes (TTMSs) such as the use of narrow lanes, offside and inside lane closures. The effect on traffic performance (i.e. capacity and delay) of various …

The landscape treatment of noise and air pollution on urban expressways : a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the Diploma in Landscape Architecture at Lincoln College, University of Canterbury
… of these two pollutants can be recognised. A motorway offers a city four advantages over a conventional road network. It provides better access to the central business district, and thereby reduces the time required for the journey. It offers a safer journey as the number of potential hazards …

A study of the geochemical behaviour of anthropogenic platinum-group elements in a mixed urban-rural catchment: the River Stour, Kent, U.K.
… of these elements. Nine sedimentary rocks, four motorway-runoff sediments and twenty-one river sediments were analysed for PGE by NiS fire assay pre-concentration and ICP-MS. The highest element abundances occur in a sample of ashed sewage sludge (total PGE content of 392 ng/g), whilst the lowest …

The economic and social burden of population loss across Irish regions
… 3) to measure the effects of proximity to motorway access points on adjacent areas, focusing on population growth, employment growth, and commuting mode choices. To carry this out, a novel dataset comprising of seven Irish Censuses of Population from 1986 to 2016 is compiled at the …

Studies of Atmospheric Pollution due to Lead in the Vicinity of Urban Motorways
… petrol-driven vehicles. The building of an urban motorway through the Gravelly Hill district of Birmingham increased the traffic density of that area. The effect of the opening and use of the interchange on atmospheric lead concentrations was studied. An equation to predict the pollution level at …

Shifting towards healthier transport? From systematic review to primary research
… construction of a new urban section of the M74 motorway in Glasgow — to design, develop and complete the cross-sectional (baseline) phase of a new primary study of the effects of a major environmental intervention. Using a combination of census data, geographical data and field visits, I …

A study to investigate whether speed and road conditionshave an effect on the physiological stability of sick and preterm babies undergoing inter-hospital transfer by ambulance
… between the two types of road conditions: motorways and other roads. Results The babies demonstrated more stability during motorway journeys, though predictable situations in the journey promoted instability. Speed was not a factor in physiological instability, but acceleration and …

Evaluation of coordinated and local ramp metering algorithm using microscopic traffic simulation
… of these four algorithms was tested on the M27 Motorway near Southampton, UK. Because none of the algorithms showed any significant benefits, different scenarios were tested, both on the M27 network, and on a generic network. The effect of four variables was studied: total demand, ramp spacing, …
