Demand for rail travel to and from airports

Rail access to airports is becoming increasingly important for both train operators and the airports themselves. This paper reports analysis of inter-urban rail demand to and from Manchester and Stansted Airports and the sensitivity of this market segment to growth in air traffic and the cost and service quality of rail services. The estimated demand parameters vary in an expected manner between outward and inward air travellers as well as between airport users and general rail travellers. These parameters can be entered into the demand forecasting framework widely used in the rail industry in Great Britain to provide an appropriate means of forecasting for this otherwise neglected market segment. The novel features of this research, at least in the British context, are that it provides the first detailed analysis of aggregate rail flows to and from airports, it has disaggregated the traditional generalised time measure of rail service quality in order to estimate separate elasticities to journey time, service headway and interchange, and it has successfully explored departures from the conventional constant elasticity position.     

Railway reforms: do they influence operating efficiency?

This paper considers railway operations in 23 European countries during 1995–2001, where a series of reform initiatives were launched by the European Commission, and analyses whether these reform initiatives improved the efficiency of the railway systems. Efficiency is measured using Multi-directional Efficiency Analysis, which enables investigation of how railway reforms affect the inefficiencies of specific cost drivers. The main findings are that the reform initiatives generally improve technical efficiency but potentially differently for different cost drivers. Specifically, the paper provides empirical evidence that accounting separation is important for improving the efficiency in the use of both material and staff costs, whereas other reforms only influenced one of these factors.

新建隧道下穿施工对既有高速公路的影响及工法优化研究

为了探索新建隧道下穿施工对既有高速公路的影响,并为新建隧道选取更适合的施工方法,以某新建浅埋暗挖隧道为例,借助于NASYA和FLAC 3D,对其进行了数值模拟研究。研究成果表明:首先,由于覆土越大,对隧道支护的压力越大,新建隧道引起的土体的沉降值便越大,表现为路基下方围岩的沉降大于路肩下方的;第二,由于临时支撑能对土体的变形起到削弱作用,所以采取了更多临时支护的CRD法施工引起的道路沉降值明显小于台阶法施工引起的沉降值;第三,本工程中将三台阶施工方法替换为CRD法后,既有路面最大沉降值从14.7 mm减小为12.9mm,降低值为1.8 mm,但台阶法具有工期短、成本低等优点,故推荐本工程采用台阶法施工。
