Sometimes I get a bee in my bonnet and actually get around to writing it down. Here are a few bits and pieces from the past few years - it's not a particularly exhaustive list so drop me a note if you want access to any other stuff;

Is Vehicle Ownership going out of fashion as the residual value of materials becomes more and more significant?

A slightly unconventional Careers Presentation I sometimes scare the students with.

I recently gave a talk to the Scottish RoSPA about Intelligent Speed Adaptation - its not big-brother, its a better cruise control! People will die because politicians have fumbled the arguments :-(

I wonder if Enforcement Technology is going too far and removing the human judgement factor.

I sometimes write for Thinking Highways magazine. You can search for old articles and opinion pieces through this link.
I spoke at Bits & Chips 2013 about Vehicle to Power Grid Communication - we were involved in the PowerUp project to develop and deploy standardised approaches for it.

A discussion about future Power Systems we recently had at Stirling.

Increasingly, we should expect Traffic Management Centres to interwork - here's a discussion about why and how it can be done.

I spoke at Bits & Chips 2011 about Agile Techniques applied to Hardware Engineering and how we used them to contain project uncertainty while not impacting innovation.

We need Flexible On-vehicle Platforms to address the performance and versatility requirements of future automotive systems.

A document about the upgrade we developed to support Free Flow Tolling for the Dutch Westerscheldetunnel.
