Interactivity and identification: alter ego and conversation piece

In this presentation I discuss two recent works that use new technologies to explore the expression or communication of individual human identity.

Using official data sources to analyse the light goods vehicle fleet and operations in Britain

Report produced as part of the Green Logistics project (EPSRC and Department for Transport funded). Light goods vehicles play a key role in providing goods and services to businesses and other organisations in Britain. In order to better understand the relationship between costs and benefits of LGV operations it is necessary to gain a more detailed appreciation of the roles that these vehicles are fulfilling. This report aims to provide a better understanding of this sector by examining LGV fleet and operations in terms of their characteristics, utilisation and efficiency and purpose. Important potential external impacts of LGVs are also considered.
