The travel behavior of passengers from the transportation hub within the city area is critical for travel demand analysis, security monitoring, and supporting traffic facilities designing. However, the traditional methods used to study the travel behavior of the passengers inside the city are time and labor consuming. The records of the cellular communication provide a potential huge data source for this study to follow the movement of passengers. This study focuses on the passengers’ travel behavior of the Hongqiao transportation hub in Shanghai, China, utilizing the mobile phone data. First, a systematic and novel method is presented to extract the trip information from the mobile phone data. Several key travel characteristics of passengers, including passengers traveling inside the city and between cities, are analyzed and compared. The results show that the proposed method is effective to obtain the travel trajectories of mobile phone users. Besides, the travel behavior of incity passengers and external passengers are quite different. Then, the correlation analysis of the passengers’ travel trajectories is provided to research the availability of the comprehensive area. Moreover, the results of the correlation analysis further indicate that the comprehensive area of the Hongqiao hub plays a relatively important role in passengers’ daily travel.

Battle of the Xisha Islands
In March 1973,the United States,North Viemam and South Viemam signed the tripartite peace-restoring Paris Peace Accords,ending the Indochina war.The United States left some naval ships and military equipment to Saigon authority when it withdrew its military forces from Vietnam.Starting August that year,Vietnamese naval ships continuously entered China's Xi Sha waters,chased and arrested Chinese fishing boats,and attempted to occupy our Xi Sha Islands.Ignoring China's waming,Viemam sent a 2000-ton destroyer,two 1200-ton escorts and a 600-ton gunboat to China's Xi Sha sea area on January 15,1974.To protect the fishing production and state its sovereignty,China sent two 300-ton submarine chasers and two minesweepers to patrol the Yongle Island waters.With the advantage of bigger naval ships and being better armed than the few small Chinese patrol ships,the Vietnamese forced landing on Chenhang Island and Guangjin Island on January 19.They fired at the Chinese garrison on the island,and attacked the patrol formation.The Chinese fleet was forced to fight back,and the Xi Sha counter attack began. 相似文献
