Application of time-series and wavelet analysis for traffic flow modelling and incident detection
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2007)Efficient and sustainable use of existing transportation network has become a major issue in socio-economic growth of the developed parts of today’s world. Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) is an important tool to ... -
Modelling the impact of traffic emissions on local air quality
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2008)Air quality modelling can be used to complement monitoring networks and to obtain information at lower cost. A primary advantage of modelling is that it can be used for the prediction of future air quality, which often ... -
Analytical approaches to evaluating sustainable transportation strategies
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2009)Sustainable transportation strategies and policies not only generate an efficient and equitable transportation system but also balance other economic, social and environmental objectives. The objective of this thesis is ... -
Analysis of highway runoff in Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2007)A considerable body of research already exists on highway runoff and associated management strategies from various countries throughout Europe and beyond. These studies have indicated that runoff from highways can contain ... -
Urban development : use of a neural network mode choice model
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2002)It is a requirement of the EU that member states undertake the development of urban transport in a sustainable manner. According to the EU the key elements in a sustainable strategy are: -- reduction of the adverse impact ... -
A stated preference analysis of real time public transport information
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2008)This thesis reports the outcomes of a study conducted to ascertain the benefits derived from the use of real-time public transport information. The study focuses upon three areas of individuals preferences in relation to ... -
Identification and evolutionary response analysis of continuous and discrete structural systems using wavelet transform
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2006)Performance based design of structures require stringent serviceability criteria to be satisfied based on functional requirements and economic implications. Thus, performance evaluation of structural dynamic systems not ... -
Air quality monitoring and modelling at motorway and roundabout sites in Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2005)EU legislation requires Ireland to set ambient air quality objectives, assess the ambient air quality, gather information on ambient air quality and make it available to the public, and to maintain or improve the ambient ... -

Relative dose / exposure to air pollutants between modes of transport, while commuting to work in Dublin
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2008)Research was carried out into the relative exposure of commuters to air pollutants in Dublin between four modes of transport. These differences were determined experimentally by simultaneously sampling the personal exposure ... -
An investigation of the influence of daily activities and location on personal exposure to air pollution in Dublin : measurement, analysis, modelling and application
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2013)The research in this study was carried out to quantify real-time personal exposure to PM10 in a large number of individuals residing in the Dublin area. This was carried out in order to highlight activities and locations ... -
An investigation of the passive control of air pollution in the urban environment
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2013)Poor air quality is a universal problem in built-up environments and presents a continued threat to the health of urban populations. Vehicle emissions have been identified as the predominant source of urban air pollution. ... -
Evaluation of background concentrations of air pollutants in Ireland and the development of guidelines for local assessment
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2011)The values adopted for the background air pollutant concentrations in local air quality dispersion modelling studies have a significant effect on the accuracy of the overall result. Current practice regarding the data ... -
Hydropower energy recovery form the water supply network : feasibility, risk analysis, optimisation and implementation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2015)The provision of clean and reliable water supply is highly energy intensive. Recent research has focused on the development and application of energy and hydraulic efficiency measures to streamline water usage and improve ... -
Quantifying nutrient dynamics through a lowland karst network
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2014)In this thesis, hydrochemical methods are used in combination with hydrologic analysis to characterise and model the Gort Lowlands catchment in western Galway, specifically focussing on an interlinked chain of ephemeral ...
