基于BISAR软件的半柔性复合路面层间粘结力分析

为研究半柔性复合路面层间粘结力对路面结构层应力的影响.通过拟定路面交通量以及材料参数,通过BISAR软件进行设计路面典型结构层计算,设计出以半柔性复合材料作为上面层的典型结构层以及沥青路面结构层,并研究层间粘结对半柔性复合路面弯沉、剪应力、行车方向拉应力和荷载方向拉应力的影响.结果表明层间粘结对半柔性复合路面弯沉、剪应力分布具有一定影响,建议在设计时将层间粘结作为重点考虑指标之一.     

Route choice stickiness of public transport passengers: Measuring habitual bus ridership behaviour using smart card data

This paper explores how we can use smart card data for bus passengers to reveal individual and aggregate travel behaviour. More specifically, we measure the extent to which both individual and bus routes exhibit habitual behaviour. To achieve this, we introduce a metric called Stickiness Index to quantify the range of preferences of users that always select to travel on the same route (high stickiness) to those with a more varied patterns of route selection (low stickiness). Adopting a visual analytic and modelling approach using a suite of regression models we find evidence to suggest that stickiness varies across the metropolitan area and over a 24-h period wherein higher stickiness is associated with high frequency users where there is substantial variability of route travel times across all alternatives. We argue that our findings are important in their capacity to contribute to a new evidence base with the potential to inform the (re)-design and scheduling of a public transit systems through unveiling the complexities of transit behaviour.
