Examining the long-term reduction in commuting emissions from working from home
(2024)To develop effective climate strategies, it is necessary to model the long-term impacts of combined policy measures. This study examines how an increase in working-from-home (WFH) practices, coupled with higher private car ... -
Exploring the Elements of Effective Cycle Parking: A Literature Review
(2023)In the field of cycle policy and planning, alongside ambitions to expand segregated cycle networks, there is a push across many countries for increasing the quality and quantity of cycle parking as a critical component ... -
Factors influencing e-cargo bike mode choice for small businesses
(2023)As a viable alternative to traditional and electric cars and vans, e-cargo bikes have the potential to improve the sustainability of urban logistics operations, particularly for last-mile deliveries. In this study, e-cargo ... -
Integrated transportation and land use regression modelling for nitrogen dioxide mitigation
(2023)The transport sector has been identified as one of the main contributors to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) pollution in Ireland. This research develops an enhanced Wind Sector Land Use Regression (WS-LUR) model to estimate NO2 ... -
Optimising shared electric mobility hubs: Insights from performance analysis and factors influencing riding demand
(2023)In order to decarbonise the transport networks, systemic change is needed. One manifestation of this transformation is shared electric mobility, seeking to curtail car usage and ownership. This current case study aims to ... -
Pathways to decarbonising the transport sector: The impacts of electrifying taxi fleets
(2023)The impacts of climate change have prompted governments to pledge to introduce policies aiming to limit the increasing temperature. One of the strategies involves reducing and, eventually, eliminating internal combustion ... -
Pre and post Covid preferences for working from home
(2024)Working from home (WFH) is being seen as a potential solution to many contemporary problems from congestion to global warming and work-life balance. Since the 1970 s, it was assumed that when information technology ... -
There's no such thing as cycle traffic: a critical discourse analysis of public opposition to pro-cycle planning
(2024)Across a variety of low-cycling contexts, there are ambitious targets to reduce private car use and increase cycling to decarbonise everyday mobility practices. A component of many plans to achieve this modal shift is ... -
Understanding domestic consumer attitude and behaviour towards energy: A study on the Island of Ireland
(2023)Attitudes towards renewable technologies and knowledge about energy consumption influences the adoption of sustainable energy systems across power, heat and transport. Research suggests that behavioural change strategies ... -
"Vacuum consolidation improves peat ground conditions"
(2010)Trinity College Dublin is currently testing an innovative technique, known as vacuum consolidation, to improve peat ground conditions, as part of the National Roads Authority Fellowship initiative. -
A wolf in sheep's clothing: Exposing the structural violence of private electric automobility
(2023)The world is running out of time to avoid cataclysmic climate impacts. Therefore, determining which decarbonisation strategies are more effective and inclusive in reducing anthropogenic dependency on fossil fuels is vital ...
