Evaluating parking reservation policy in urban areas: An environmental perspective

This paper investigates a parking reservation mechanism to reduce car cruising to find parking. To consider the benefits for drivers and parking facility providers, we charge drivers for making reservations in addition to parking fees, by introducing a reservation pricing model that makes reservation prices equivalent to the value of saved search time. By modeling the number of vacant spaces as a stochastic variable, and applying binomial pricing methods, parking reservation prices are obtained. Numerical examples based on the data for two parking facilities in Taiwan are given.     

Allocation flexibility and price efficiency within Singapore’s Vehicle Quota System

Permit or license plate quotas are highly effective albeit controversial policy tools for managing growth in the vehicle population and thereby, adverse traffic congestion. A judicious distribution of the scarce permits that targets the dual objectives of price efficiency and social diversity in vehicle ownership can however mitigate the controversy. This paper scrutinizes the attainment levels of these two objectives within Singapore’s multi-categorical Vehicle Quota System in two time periods (1991–1998 and 2002–2011) which differ in the number of permit allocation categories, the auction format used (sealed versus open bids) and in the frequency of distribution (monthly versus semimonthly). The lessons derived are contrasted to the other two jurisdictions which have also implemented quotas on their vehicle registrations namely, Shanghai and Beijing.     

Aggregates cranes handling capacity of container terminals: the port of Kaohsiung

This study looks at the degrees of interference for multiple cranes that work simultaneously at six major container terminals in the port of Kaohsiung. The results confirm that there are different degrees of mutual crane interference among terminals where different operational modes are adapted in the container yards. RTG handling systems show a very high value of aggregate cranes exponent f, with nearly no interference, as long as the number of allocated cranes is no more than the number of truck lanes under each crane. While SC systems reveal a relatively larger degree of mutual interference as the number of cranes increase.     

REGULATION OF INTESTINAL DYSBACTERIOSIS OF BURNED RATS BY MICROECOSYSTEM REGULATORS

Intestinal infection is a major type of traumat-ic infections[lj. Intestinal dysbacteriosis is one ofreasons which cause the translocation of intestinalconditioned pathogen and endotoxin, and subse-quently intestinal infectionL2j. To correct dysbacte-riosis quickly and to recover intestinal micro--e-cosystem are important ways in the control of trau-matic infection.

空泡水筒中螺旋桨模型试验的筒壁影响和修正

在中国船舶科学研究中心工作段直径为0.8米的水筒中,试验了三个几何相似的螺旋桨模型。用激光测速仪测量了螺旋桨前后不同截面的水筒流速分布,也测量了筒壁上的压力分布。对水筒中进行无空泡、有空泡和超空泡螺旋桨试验时,应如何进行筒壁影响的修正,提供了依据。同时还指出,水筒中螺旋桨的推力或负荷系数与水池敞水试验值相同时,其流场仍然是不同的。     

Dynamic Performance of a Bulkhead Flat Car

The dynamic performance of a flat car is studied herein. The performance indices include roll angles, lateral accelerations, center plate loads, side bearing loads, wheel loads and spring deflections. These variables are maximum when the car is running at its critical speed, corresponding to either the rock and roll, or the bounce mode. The Association of American Railroads' (AAR) Flexible Carbody Model was used. The input for vertical track irregularities used in the simulation was generated from published spectra for U.S. Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) Class 4 track. After studying the car's performance with various column loads and spring suspensions, it was found that the most commonly used column load of 4,000 lbs. (17.8 kN) should be used. The spring suspension used in the original car design should also be adopted, in order to avoid spring. bottoming.
