This article investigates the carpool mode choice option in the context of overall commuting mode choice preferences. The
article uses a hybrid discrete choice modelling technique to jointly model the consideration of carpooling in the choice set
formation as well as commuting mode choice together with the response bias corrections through the accommodation of measurement
equations. A cross-nested error structure for the econometric formulation is used to capture correlations among various commuting
modes and carpool consideration in the choice set. Empirical models are estimated using a data set collected through a week-long
commuter survey in Edmonton, Alberta. The empirical model reveals many behavioural details of commuting mode choice and carpooling.
Interestingly, it reveals that interactions between various Travel Demand Management (TDM) tools with the carpooling option
can be different at different level of decision making (choice set formation level and final choice making level). 相似文献

Vehicle overloading has been identified as one of the major contributors to road pavement damage in Malaysia. In this study, the weigh-in-motion (WIM) system has been used to function as a vehicle weight sorting tool to complement the exsiting static weigh bridge enforcement station. Data collected from the developed system is used to explore the effectiveness of using WIM system in terms of generating more accurate data for enforcement purposes and at the same time improving safety and reducing the number of vehicle weight violations on the roads. This study specifically focus on the effect of vehicle by-pass and static weigh station enforcement capability on the overall effectiveness of vehicle weight enforcement system in a developing country. Results from this study suggest that the WIM system will significantly enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the current vehicle weight enforcement, thus generating substantial revenue that would greatly off-set the current road maintenance budget that comes from tax payers money. If there is substantial reduction in overloaded vehicles, the public will still gain through reduction in road maintenance budget, less accident risks involving heavy trucks, and lesser greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions. 相似文献

This paper critically reviews micro-simulation modelling applications for traffic safety evaluation with respect to the use of different simulation tools, the application of surrogate safety indicators under different aspects of road environments and crash considerations. General input variables used to develop the models; key parameters for crash prediction; and calibration and validation approaches are explored in the paper. The strengths and weaknesses of used simulation packages for traffic safety evaluation are also pointed out. Moreover, recent advancements in the development and application of traffic safety micro-simulation model for safety assessment are also discussed.Despite having a number of studies, there is still a significant void in the development and application of simulation model to evaluate traffic safety of non-lane based heterogeneous traffic environments that predominate in many developing countries. The paper assessed the potential application of traffic safety micro-simulation model in heterogeneous traffic environments. Finally, a number of potentially fruitful future research directions are highlighted. 相似文献

George Town, Penang, is the oldest British colonial city in South East Asia. The colonial settlement layout in the inner city
area is still intact today. The establishment of George Town as a trading centre had attracted immigrants from all over the
world, especially from Asia (Chinese, Indians and Arabs). Recently, George Town has been enlisted under the UNESCO World Heritage
Lists as an outstanding example of traditional multi-cultural settlement. The uniqueness of this inner city is that the formation
of its urban pattern is the result of ‘divide and rule’ concept adopted by the British authority. Under the ‘divide and rule’
concept, these immigrants were located to settlement areas based on their ethnic background under one leader known as ‘kapitan’ (captain). The study finds that transport access in this inner city was influenced by the ‘divide and rule’ concept. Unlike
formation of well-planned gridiron pattern in other British colonial cities such as in North America, Canada and Australia,
the formation of the urban pattern in George Town has an irregular gridiron pattern. This type of urban pattern is typical
under ‘divide and rule’ concept and this had indirectly influenced the setting and planning of the present street access and
transport networks.

Microscopic modeling of large‐scale pedestrian–vehicle conflicts in the city of Madinah,Saudi Arabia 下载免费PDF全文
This paper presents a micro‐simulation modeling framework for evaluating pedestrian–vehicle conflicts in crowded crossing areas. The framework adopts a simulation approach that models vehicles and pedestrians at the microscopic level while satisfying two sets of constraints: (1) flow constraints and (2) non‐collision constraints. Pedestrians move across two‐directional cells as opposed to one‐dimensional lanes as in the case of vehicles; therefore, extra caution is considered when modeling the shared space between vehicles and pedestrians. The framework is used to assess large‐scale pedestrian–vehicle conflicts in a highly congested ring road in the City of Madinah that carries 20 000 vehicles/hour and crossed by 140 000 pedestrians/hour after a major congregational prayer. The quantitative and visual results of the simulation exhibits serious conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles, resulting in considerable delays for pedestrians crossing the road (9 minutes average delay) and slow traffic conditions (average speed <10 km/hour). The model is then used to evaluate the following three mitigating strategies: (1) pedestrian‐only phase; (2) grade separation; and (3) pedestrian mall. A matrix of operational measures of effectiveness for network‐wide performance (e.g., average travel time, average speed) and for pedestrian‐specific performance (e.g., mean speed, mean density, mean delay, mean moving time) is used to assess the effectiveness of the proposed strategies.

This paper formally derives the class of multiple discrete-continuous generalized extreme value (MDCGEV) models, a general class of multiple discrete-continuous choice models based on generalized extreme value (GEV) error specifications. Specifically, the paper proves the existence of, and derives the general form of, closed-form consumption probability expressions for multiple discrete-continuous choice models with GEV-based error structures. In addition to deriving the general form, the paper derives a compact and readily usable form of consumption probability expressions that can be used to estimate multiple discrete-continuous choice models with general cross-nested error structures.The cross-nested version of the MDCGEV model is applied to analyze household annual expenditure patterns in various transportation-related expenses using data from a Consumer Expenditure Survey in the United States. Model estimation results and predictive log-likelihood based validation tests indicate the superiority of the cross-nested model over the mutually exclusively nested and non-nested model specifications. Further, the cross-nested model was amenable to the accommodation of socio-demographic heterogeneity in inter-alternative covariance across decision-makers through a parameterization of the allocation parameters. 相似文献

The integrated modeling of land use and transportation choices involves analyzing a continuum of choices that characterize
people’s lifestyles across temporal scales. This includes long-term choices such as residential and work location choices
that affect land-use, medium-term choices such as vehicle ownership, and short-term choices such as travel mode choice that
affect travel demand. Prior research in this area has been limited by the complexities associated with the development of
integrated model systems that combine the long-, medium- and short-term choices into a unified analytical framework. This
paper presents an integrated simultaneous multi-dimensional choice model of residential location, auto ownership, bicycle
ownership, and commute tour mode choices using a mixed multidimensional choice modeling methodology. Model estimation results
using the San Francisco Bay Area highlight a series of interdependencies among the multi-dimensional choice processes. The
interdependencies include: (1) self-selection effects due to observed and unobserved factors, where households locate based
on lifestyle and mobility preferences, (2) endogeneity effects, where any one choice dimension is not exogenous to another,
but is endogenous to the system as a whole, (3) correlated error structures, where common unobserved factors significantly
and simultaneously impact multiple choice dimensions, and (4) unobserved heterogeneity, where decision-makers show significant
variation in sensitivity to explanatory variables due to unobserved factors. From a policy standpoint, to be able to forecast
the “true” causal influence of activity-travel environment changes on residential location, auto/bicycle ownership, and commute
mode choices, it is necessary to capture the above-identified interdependencies by jointly modeling the multiple choice dimensions
in an integrated framework. 相似文献

Abstract Hybrid choice modelling approaches allow latent variables in mode choice utility functions to be addressed. However, defining attitude and behavior as latent variables is influenced by the researcher's assumptions. Therefore, it is better to capture the effects of latent behavioral and attitudinal factors as latent variables than defining behaviors and attitudes per se. This article uses a hybrid choice model for capturing such latent effects, which will herein be referred to as modal captivity effects in commuting mode choice. Latent modal captivity refers to the unobserved and apparently unexplained attraction towards a specific mode of transportation that is resulting from latent attitude and behavior of passengers in addition to the urban transportation system. In empirical models, the latent modal captivity variables are explained as functions of different observed variables. Empirical models show significant improvement in fitting observed data as well as improved understanding of travel behavior. 相似文献

Activity-travel behavior research has hitherto focused on the modeling and understanding of daily time use and activity patterns
and resulting travel demand. In this particular paper, an analysis and modeling of weekly activity-travel behavior is presented
using a unique multi-week activity-travel behavior data set collected in and around Zurich, Switzerland. The paper focuses
on six categories of discretionary activity participation to understand the determinants of, and the inter-personal and intra-personal
variability in, weekly activity engagement at a detailed level. A panel version of the Mixed Multiple Discrete Continuous
Extreme Value model (MMDCEV) that explicitly accounts for the panel (or repeated-observations) nature of the multi-week activity-travel
behavior data set is developed and estimated on the data set. The model also controls for individual-level unobserved factors
that lead to correlations in activity engagement preferences across different activity types. To our knowledge, this is the
first formulation and application of a panel MMDCEV structure in the econometric literature. The analysis suggests the high
prevalence of intra-personal variability in discretionary activity engagement over a multi-week period along with inter-personal
variability that is typically considered in activity-travel modeling. In addition, the panel MMDCEV model helped identify
the observed socio-economic factors and unobserved individual specific factors that contribute to variability in multi-week
discretionary activity participation.

Due to rapid advancements in power electronics, the utilization of electronically switched loads and nonlinear loads is increasing gradually in the electrical power system. These loads create problems of measuring instruments, when connected to the power distribution systems. In this paper, an experimental investigation has been carried out to analyze the performance of single-phase watt-hour (induction and electronic types) energy meters that are being used in Pakistan. The accuracy of the energy meters has been tested under different household nonlinear loads, at various power factors and also at different supply voltage levels. Power factor and total harmonic distortion (THD) of different household loads are also recorded in the experimental work. A hardware based experimental setup has been designed to perform the experimental work. The experimental results have been compared to Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) standards for energy meters. 相似文献
