An analysis of the determinants of children’s weekend physical activity participation

This paper examines the out-of-home, weekend, time-use patterns of children aged 5–17 years, with a specific emphasis on their physical activity participation. The impact of several types of factors, including individual and household demographics, neighborhood demographics, built environment characteristics, and activity day variables, on physical activity participation is analyzed using a joint nested multiple discrete–continuous extreme value-binary choice model. The sample for analysis is drawn from the 2000 San Francisco Bay Area Travel Survey. The model developed in the paper can be used to assess the impacts of changing demographics and built environment characteristics on children’s physical activity levels.

沥青路面结构行为方程中材料影响系数的确定方法

沥青路面的结构行为方程为基于性能的沥青路面结构设计方法奠定了良好的理论基础,但先前的研究仅较好地考虑了荷载、环境和结构等因素对沥青路面使用性能的影响,而对材料因素的影响考虑得较为粗略。鉴于材料影响的复杂性,论文从较为宏观的角度通过改性沥青和普通沥青结构行为方程和现场疲劳方程的建立给出改性沥青影响系数与改性-普通沥青寿命比值的关系,从而利用此关系以及通过试验获得的改性沥青和普通沥青混凝土的疲劳方程即可确定结构行为方程中的材料影响系数。

砂卵石地层台阶法施工隧道围岩-支护结构应力应变特性三维离散元分析

为了解砂卵石地层隧道围岩和支护结构的应力应变特性，以青海循隆高速公伯峡隧道为依托，借助PFC3D离散元软件对公伯峡隧道穿越砂卵石地层进行三维模拟，重点研究以密排短管棚预支护为根本前提，以三台阶预留核心土为施工方法的砂卵石地层围岩和支护结构的应力应变特性，并与现场实测进行对比分析。研究结果表明： 隧道台阶开挖时，围岩应力集中范围逐渐从拱顶过渡到拱腰，直到拱脚，对应的塑性区范围不断扩大，且密排短管棚对塑性区的发展有一定的“遮拦效应”； 围岩横纵向变形规律一致，主要是向隧道临空面产生收敛变形，且密排短管棚形成的梁拱效应限制了掌子面前方位移发展； 2种方法得到的初期支护变形规律一致，均呈阶段性变化，拱顶下沉累计值大于周边收敛累计值，且两者的最终变形量均满足规范限值要求。     

最小二乘平差在纸海图矢量化过程中的应用

Comparing travel mode and trip chain choices between holidays and weekdays

Choices of travel mode and trip chain as well as their interplays have long drawn the interests of researchers. However, few studies have examined the differences in the travel behaviors between holidays and weekdays. This paper compares the choice of travel mode and trip chain between holidays and weekdays tours using travel survey data from Beijing, China. Nested Logit (NL) models with alternative nesting structures are estimated to analyze the decision process of travelers. Results show that there are at least three differences between commuting-based tours on weekdays and non-commuting tours on holidays. First, the decision structures in weekday and holiday tours are opposite. In weekday tours people prefer to decide on trip chain pattern prior to choosing travel mode, whereas in holiday tours travel mode is chosen first. Second, holiday tours show stronger dependency on cars than weekday tours. Third, travelers on holidays are more sensitive to changes in tour time than to the changes in tour cost, while commuters on weekdays are more sensitive to tour cost. Findings are helpful for improving travel activity modeling and designing differential transportation system management strategies for weekdays and holidays.
