Using longitudinal methods for analysis of a short-term transportation demonstration project

This paper documents an application of panel, or longitudinal data collection in the evaluation of a TSM (Transportation Systems Management) demonstration project. The project was a four-week demonstration of staggered work hours in downtown Honolulu during February–March 1988. The 4 wave panel survey elicited commuting experiences of approximately 2,000 downtown employees at two week intervals before and during the project. The sample involved both employees who participated in the project by shifting their work hours, and those who did not. The panel survey was augmented by floating-car observations of travel times on major routes into downtown Honolulu on the same four dates.The purpose of the analysis was to determine whether employee commute times were affected, and if so, how these changes were distributed among various employee segments. Two methods were used. First, travel time changes were estimated using paired t-tests. Second, regression equations were used to estimate project time savings as a function of trip length, route, and location of residence. Results show that travel time savings due to the project were typically small, less than ten percent. Nonparticipants experienced greater savings than participants, and some segments of participants experienced longer travel times during the project. The panel method proved to be an effective way to measure project travel time impacts and shows that the method is appropriate in short time applications.Presented at the Annual Meeting of Transportation Research Board, January 7–11. 1990, Washington, D.C.

用称重传感器实现倾角虚拟测量

将虚拟测量技术应用于平台倾角的测量,提出了用称重传感器测量倾角的设想,并通过实验加以验证,发现该方法存在一定的测量误差,但误差分布规律性较强,应用误差补偿方法以减小实际测量误差。经过补偿,使称重传感器测量倾角的实际误差大大减小,最大相对误差为0.375%F.S.,最大绝对误差为0.1687°,达到了较高的测量精度,完全可以满足工程实际倾角测量的精度要求。
