Short-Term Forecasting of Bicycle Traffic Using Structural Time Series Models
(2014)
CAULFIELD, BRIAN; GHOSH, BIDISHA
Short-Term Forecasting of Bicycle Traffic Using Structural Time Series Models
(2014)
CAULFIELD, BRIAN; GHOSH, BIDISHA
Abstract:
Short term forecasting algorithms are widely used for prediction of vehicular traffic flows for adaptive traffic management. However, despite the increasing interest in the promotion of cycling in cities, little research has been carried out into the use of traffic forecasting algorithms for bicycle traffic. Structural time series models allow the various components of a time series such as level, seasonal and regression effects to be modelled separately to allow analysis of previous trends and forecasting. In this paper, a case study at a segregated bicycle lane in Dublin, Ireland was performed to test the forecasting accuracy of structural time series models applied to continuous observations of cyclist traffic volumes. It has been shown that the proposed models can produce accurate peak period forecasts of cyclist traffic volumes at both 1 hour and fifteen minute resolution and that the percentage errors are lower for hourly forecasts. The inclusion of weather metrics as explanat...

Examining the Optimal Fuel Type for Urban Bus Operations
(2010)
CAULFIELD, BRIAN
Abstract:
Public service fleets offer an attractive option for introducing renewable fuels and alternative technologies on a large scale, which allow for the reduction of both greenhouse gas emissions and exhaust air pollutants. This paper ex amines the use of biomethane (bio-CNG) and compressed natural gas (CNG) for part of the bus fleet in Dublin. Dublin is typical of many international urban centres with a large bus fleet; therefore the results detailed in this paper could be applied to other urban bus fleets. The emissions produced from the 2008 fleet based at one of the city?s seven bus depots were compared to use of new diesel and bio-CNG buses, which were modelled using COPERT 4, a road transport emissions model developed by the European Commission. The optimum feedstock for bio-CNG production in Ireland was investigated, as well as the quantity of feedstock needed to produce t he required bio-CNG to fuel the bus fleet examined. The merits of producing bio-CNG in Ireland were analysed ...

Examining the Potential Impacts of Introducing a Cap and Share Scheme in Ireland
(2011)
CAULFIELD, BRIAN
Abstract:
A cap and share scheme is a policy whereby a cap or limit is placed on national carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and individuals are allocated an annual CO2 allowance. This paper examines some of the potential impacts of introducing a cap and share scheme in the transport sector in Ireland. The research presented in this paper focuses on travel-to-works trips specifically. CO2 emissions for these annual work trips are calculated and a cap is determined based on these results. Two caps are examined one based on average emissions and one set at a 20% reduction in average emissions as per Ireland?s reduction targets. A national and Dublin only cap are examined and the results are presented as a means of comparison. Binary logistic models are used to determine the socio-economic characteristics of individuals who fall above and below the cap. The results demonstrate the importance of car ownership, journey distance, mode choice and household composition in determining whether a commuter i...

Identifying the Characteristics of Households with Multiple Car Ownership
(2011)
CAULFIELD, BRIAN
Abstract:
This paper examines the characteristics of households with multiple car ownership in Dublin, Ireland. Data from the 2006 Census of Ireland are analysed to ascertain the characteristics of these households. The analysis of multiple car ownership presented herein examines individual specific, transport availability, and household characteristics to provide an indication of the individuals most likely to have access to more than one vehicle. The analysis of multiple car ownership presented in this paper examines both individual specific characteristics and household characteristics to provide an indication of the individuals most likely to have access to more than one vehicle. Understanding the characteristics of households with more than one car is important for many reasons. Ireland, like many countries has recently launched a number of electric vehicle and car sharing schemes. Traditionally these schemes have been aimed at reducing multiple car ownership, therefore it?s important to...

Measuring the Transport Patterns of Those Living in Deprived Areas in Dublin, Ireland
(2012)
CAULFIELD, BRIAN
Abstract:
This paper examines the relationship between social deprivation and travel patterns . Many studies ha ve examined the relationsh ip between deprivation and travel patterns , but few have compared those in the most disadvantaged areas with those living in the most affluent areas. This study examines the impact that deprivation has upon individuals? trip patte rns , in Dublin, using 2006 Census of I reland data. A number of maps were created to determine the patterns of deprived areas in the city relative to a number of trip chara cteristics. A multinomial logistic regression model wa s estimated in this study to determine how the level of deprivation impacts upon a number of characteristics such as mode choice, annual emissions, cost of transport and car ownership. The main findings of this study are that those individuals living in deprived areas in Dublin are m ore likely to use sustainable modes of transport compared to individuals living in the more affluent areas of the city.

Examining the Barriers to Sustainable Inter-City Transport in Ireland
(2012)
CAULFIELD, BRIAN
Abstract:
Over the past decade the Irish government has invested intensively in a large national motorway network. One of the side effects of this investment has been that inter-city travel is now considerably cheaper and quicker by car compared any other mode. The main objective of this research is to identify and examine the barriers to sustainable inter-city transport in Ireland. The majority of sustainable transport research takes place in an urban context with very little research has focused on understanding the factors to encourage alternative modes on inter-city trips. A stated preference study was conducted to determine what are the factors that impact upon individuals? mode choice when conducting an inter-city trip. The results of this paper demonstrate that there are several factors that impact upon individuals? mode choice decisions when undertaking an inter-city trip. The main factor that was found to impact upon mode choice was the requirement to have a car in the destination city.

Bicycle infrastructure preferences - A case study of Dublin
(2012)
CAULFIELD, BRIAN
Abstract:
This paper examines infrastructure preferences for cyclists. While the culture of cycling in the UK and Ireland has experienced some growth over the past decade, particularly in the urban areas, much debate exists as to the most favourable infrastructure types to promote cycling. In Ireland, the Irish National Cycle Policy Framework acknowledges that investment in cycling infrastructure type and quality has been ?in many cases, inadequate? and has, generally, not led to an overall increase in cycling numbers. Therefore, in order to ensure future investment is targeted where it is likely to be most effective in achieving adopted mode share targets for cycling, the following research has been undertaken to determine the factors which most influence cycling route choice. In particular, the research aims to determine the factors, which have greatest influence on cycle route infrastructure preference the correlation between the level of cycling confidence and preferred types of infrastru...

Analysing the usage of a segregated interurban cycleway (Greenway) in Ireland
(2012)
CAULFIELD, BRIAN
Abstract:
This paper analyses the usage of a pilot greenway in a rural environment in Ireland. The path is 42 km long and has several settlements and schools located along the route. A survey was conducted in five schools along the route, to determine the usage of the greenway by students and staff in the schools. This enabled observations to be made in relation to the usage of the greenway. Usage of the path is established by means of counters located along the route. Average hourly day profiles of usage along the path were created for different scenarios. This allowed the differences in usage to be examined. The impact of national and public holidays was also observed. Usage patterns are also analysed in relation to a number of weather variables. The relationships are determined by means of regression analysis. The cost of construction of the path is known and therefore by establishing the user numbers the cost per trip can be calculated. The average spend of a tourist in Ireland is known, ...

Abstract:
Presented at Rheumatology '09, British Society of Rheumatology and British Health Professionals in Rheumatology Annual Meetings 2009, Glasgow, 28 April - 01 May 2009
There is a need to increase long-term exercise compliance amongst rheumatology patients to improve symptoms and quality of life. Exergaming systems, (computer video-game based exercise) could provide these patients with a motivating exercise tool to achieve such. This study aimed to compare the subjective reports of a group of rheumatology patients who exercised with an exergaming system to the reports of a similar group who performed the conventional, equivalent form of exercise, without the exergaming system.

Abstract:
2nd International Congress on Sport Sciences Research and Technology Support (IcSPORTS 2014), Rome, Italy, 24-26 October 2014
A limitation of sports kinematic studies is that they cannot fully represent in-situ play conditions for fast dynamic sports. This paper describes the use of new inertial sensor measurement technology (ODonovan et al., 2009) to analyse player motions in the field under game-like conditions in order to quantify the impact of different playing surfaces on movement patterns. The wireless sensor system used in this study (Shimmer 3, Shimmer Research, Ireland) is a lightweight (50x25x12.5mm3), wearable, low-power consumption inertial measurement unit that contains a tri-axial accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer. Sensor data can be used to derive a range of spatiotemporal and kinematic variables to quantify performance during gait and other functional activities. In our research we are using these sensors as a means to characterise movement during a runn...

Abstract:
Paper presented at Engineering emotion : the 8th Conference of the International Sports Engineering Association, Vienna, July 12-16 2010
Ubiquitous motion sensors in shoes and clothing are becoming more prevalent. This new data stream opens a large opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of human movement. This paper describes the development and validation of an algorithm to calculate reactive strength index (RSI) from an accelerometer mounted at the ankle. Compared to the gold standard force-plate, the accelerometer and algorithm RSI had r = 0.98, mean difference = 0.001 m/sec and a confidence interval ranging from 0.12 to -0.11 m/sec. Difficulty in accurately identifying take-off using the accelerometer was the main source of measurement error.

A multidisciplinary approach for risk analysis of infrastructure networks in response to extreme weather
(2016)
CAULFIELD, BRIAN; NOGAL, MARIA
Abstract:
In recent years, it is becoming more frequent the occurrence of extreme weather events across Europe, such as rain induced landslides, river floods, winter storms and hurricanes. These hazards result in deterioration or fail of critical elements, and in the consequent disruption or disablement of the traffic networks. Therefore, developing tools and guidelines are mandatory to enhance safety and reliability of critical infrastructure networks, and address European policy in the areas of safety and security, intermodality and emergency response planning. With this goal, the European research project RAIN (Risk Analysis of Infrastructure Networks in response to extreme weather) presents a multidisciplinary approach, involving aspects as diverse as climatology, transportation, or sociology. The RAIN vision is to provide an operational analysis framework that identifies critical infrastructure components impacted by...

Abstract:
Background: Existing evidence supports the many benefits of physical activity (PA) in breast cancer survival. However, few breast cancer survivors adhere to the recommended levels of activity. A PA coaching app that provides personalized feedback, guidance, and motivation to the user might have the potential to engage these individuals in a more active lifestyle, in line with the general recommendations. To develop a successful tool, it is important to involve the end users in the design process and to make theoretically grounded design decisions. Objective: This study aimed to execute the design process and early prototype evaluation of a personalized PA coaching app for posttreatment breast cancer survivors. In particular, the study explored a design combining behavioral theory and tailored coaching strategies. Methods: The design process was led by a multidisciplinary team, including technical and health professionals, and involved input from a total of 22 survivors. The process ...

Abstract:
Objective Non-adherence to self-management plans in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) results in poorer outcomes for patients. Digital health technology (DHT) promises to support self-management by enhancing the sense of control patients possess over their disease. COPD digital health studies have yet to show significant evidence of improved outcomes for patients, with many user-adoption issues still present in the literature. To help better address the adoption needs of COPD patients, this paper explores their perceived barriers and facilitators to the adoption of DHT. Methods A sample of convenience was chosen and patients (n = 30) were recruited from two Dublin university hospitals. Each patient completed a qualitative semi-structured interview. Thematic analysis of the data was performed using NVivo 12 software. Results Barrier sub-themes included lack of perceived usefulness, digital literacy, illness perception, and social context; facilitator sub-themes included ex...

Abstract:
This paper presents the results of a study conducted to examine the benefits derived from real-time public transit stop information. This research examines the preferences between several options of receiving real-time public transit stop information. The literature states that one of the main reasons individuals access real-time information is to remove the uncertainty when using public transit. This relationship was examined to ascertain if the provision of real-time public transit information can remove the uncertainty and frustration associated with using public transit. A nested logit model structure was applied in this study to examine the benefits derived from accessing real-time public transit information. These models are estimated on segments of the dataset to ascertain how the mode of transport used by the respondents impacts the benefits derived from using real-time public transit information. The results of this study demonstrate that passengers derive the greatest bene...
