Transportation Research Group 

Since the early 1980s, researchers in the Transport Research Group have been investigating the dynamics of heavy goods vehicles and their road-damaging characteristics. The group is unusual in its cross-disciplinary ... approach, investigating projects spanning areas from heavy vehicle dynamics, safety and suspension design; to weigh-in-motion, vehicle-road interaction, and the failure mechanisms of asphalt pavements and paving materials. Vehicle-Road Interaction Early work initially concentrated on the influence of dynamic tyre forces generated by heavy goods vehicles on road damage and bridge vibration. Research was performed to understand the mechanisms by which lorries generate dynamic tyre forces as they travel along roads, and how road surfaces and bridges respond to these applied forces. Sophisticated mathematical models of vehicle dynamics and road and bridge response to moving random wheel loads were developed. These were validated using field measurements with instrumented lorr   [More...] [Less...]

Transport day at Orkney International Science Festival is a great success & Road Safety Expo '07 featuring Steve Stradling of TRi Scroll below for further details Transport day at Orkney International Science Festival FRESH IDEAS FOR ISLANDS TRANSPORT A captivated audience heard about the latest thinking in inter-island transport. New developments were presented by over twenty leading experts at the one-day event in the Pickaquoy Centre on Monday 3rd September 2007. The initiative was brought together by Prof. Alfred Baird of Napier University’s Transport Research Institute (TRi). It comes at a time when Orkney has to make long-term decisions about the future of its inter-island services. “One option is of course simply to replace the various existing ferries,” says Professor   [More...] [Less...]
