The rapid and continuing changes in travel and mobility needs in India over the last decade necessitates the development and
use of dynamic models for travel demand forecasting rather than cross-sectional models. In this context, this paper investigates
mode choice dynamics among workers in Chennai city, India over a period of five years (1999–2004). Dynamics in mode choice
is captured at four levels: exogenous variable change, state-dependence, changes in users’ sensitivity to attributes, and
unobserved error terms. The results show that the dynamic models provide a substantial improvement (of over 500 log-likelihood
points and ρ2 increases from 44% to 68%) over the cross-sectional model. The performance was compared using two illustrative policy scenarios
with important methodological and practical implications. The results indicate that cross-sectional models tend to provide
inflated estimates of potential improvement measures. Improving the Level of Service (LOS) alone will not produce the anticipated
benefits to transit agencies, as it fails to overcome the persistent inertia captured in the state-dependence factors. The
results and models have important applications in the context of growing motorization and congestion management in developing
countries.

Real-time modeling and simulation of flight system are the key parts of simulator. After describing the architecture of simulator for a newer fighter, author presents the composition of flight system and its mathematic models. In this paper, aircraft is regarded as an elastic flight body. And a new integrated algorithm which can remedy the shortcoming of Euler method and four-element method is used to calculate the Eulerian angles of aircraft. Finally, the software implementation of the flight system is given in the paper. 相似文献

We test a copula-based joint discrete–continuous model to unravel mode choice and travel distance decisions in a joint framework for school trips. This framework explicitly accounts for common unobserved factors that may affect both the mode choice and travel distance. Joint estimation of the models makes a significant difference in the effect of travel distance on willingness to walk to school. The absolute value of the travel distance coefficient in the mode choice model increases by 22% when a joint formulation is adopted instead of the conventional single estimations. We find a significant decrease of 19% in the coefficient of travel safety perception in the joint mode choice model compared to the single model. This underscores the impact of model specification, in terms of the variable effect interpretation and policy assessments. The effect magnitude of several policy-sensitive variables is discussed and compared with previous studies. Particularly, we indicate that the probability of walking is reduced by 0.85% due to a 1% increase in travel distance; accordingly, it propels parents to select non-active modes, particularly school bus. This study also demonstrates how addressing parental concerns about travel safety could double the propensity to walk to school. 相似文献

This study examines the hydrodynamic performance of multiple-row vertical slotted breakwaters. We developed a mathematical model based on an eigenfunction expansion method and a least squares technique for Stokes second-order waves. The numerical results obtained for limiting cases of double-row and triple-row walls are in good agreement with results of previous studies and experimental results. Comparisons with experimental measurements of the reflection, transmission, and dissipation coefficients (C R , C T , and C E ) for double-row walls show that the proposed mathematical model adequately reproduces most of the important features. We found that for double-row walls, the C R increases with increasing wave number, kd, and with a decreasing permeable wall part, dm. The C T follows the opposite trend. The C E slowly increases with an increasing kd for lower kd values, reaches a maximum, and then decreases again. In addition, an increasing porosity of dm would significantly decrease the C R , while increasing the C T . At lower values of kd, a decreasing porosity increases the C E , but for high values of kd, a decreasing porosity reduces the C E . The numerical results indicate that, for triple-row walls, the effect of the arrangement of the chamber widths on hydrodynamic characteristics is not significant, except when kd<0.5. Double-row slotted breakwaters may exhibit a good wave-absorbing performance at kd>0.5, where by the horizontal wave force may be smaller than that of a single wall. On the other hand, the difference between double-row and triple-row vertical slotted breakwaters is marginal. 相似文献

It is necessary for mine countermeasure systems to recognise the model of a water mine before destroying because the destroying measures to be taken must be determined according to mine model. In this paper, an immune neural network (INN) along with water mine model recognition system based on multi-agent system is proposed. A modified clonal selection algorithm for constructing such an INN is presented based on clonal selection principle. The INN is a two-layer Boolean network whose number of outputs is adaptable according to the task and the affinity threshold. Adjusting the affinity threshold can easily control different recognition precision, and the affinity threshold also can control the capability of noise tolerance. 相似文献

A Support Vector Machine is used as a classifier to the automatic detection and recognition of underwater still objects. Discrimination between the objects can be transferred into different projection spaces by the process of multi-field feature extraction. The multi-field feature vector includes time-domain, spectral, time-frequency distribution and bi-spectral features. Underwater target recognition can be considered as a problem of small sample recognition. SVM algorithm is appropriate to this kind of problems because of its outstanding generalizability. The SVM is contrasted with a Gaussian classifier and a k-nearest classifier in some experiments using real data of lake or sea trial. The experimental results indicate that SVM is better than the others two. 相似文献

Given the inherent complexity of the maritime transportation system, developing effective policy can be challenging. Using risk factors identified by an elicitation and aggregation of expert judgment, a relative-risk rating scheme was developed in the theory-building tradition of the social sciences. The model was empirically evaluated using 18 months of data from the US small passenger vessel sector. The model identified that the top 10% of relatively highest risk vessels accounted for 50% of all marine casualties during the period of examination. A policy for deploying the model nationally is proposed. 相似文献

There is wide recognition that the process of climate change may be affecting the Arctic region at a faster pace than other
regions. What is uncertain is the full impact of climate change on ice cover, and in particular whether there will be a significant
decrease of summer ice from the current three months to a longer period and accompanied by navigation conditions suitable
and safe for commercial shipping. New international navigation routes through the Canadian and Russian Arctic sectors could
significantly reduce the length of sea voyages from Asia to North America and Europe. However, on the basis of what is known
to date, there are significant differences of view as to the feasibility of international commercial navigation in the Northwest
Passage. 相似文献

This article provides a synoptic overview of the concept of general average which is one of the saving acts in maritime law.
Its principles were entrenched in the Roman law which acknowledged its origins being rooted in the Sea Law of Rhodes. Its
evolution as customary law through the medieval maritime codes of the Mediterranean region is also traced in the article.
The reader is then brought into the modern era of the international regime of general average through the advent of the York-Antwerp
Rules. The basic principles of general average loss, including expenditures and sacrifices, and general average contributions
are introduced through references to a number of leading cases. The current status of this ancient law and practice and debates
over its future are briefly addressed in conclusion. 相似文献
