Drivers of transit service loyalty considering heterogeneity between user segments

Users’ loyalty to public transit service is fundamental to promote its popularity in the transportation market. A four-step analytical framework is advanced to investigate the importance of service attributes that heterogeneous transit user segments place on their public transit service loyalty, measured in terms of overall satisfaction and re-use intention. Critical service attributes perceived by transit users that are relevant for loyalty enhancement are explicitly determined, which vary between user segments. It is suggested that the design of strategies aimed to promote the use of public transit by increasing user loyalty towards transit service be targeted at specific attributes that contribute most to loyalty and specific user segments whose original loyalty level is significantly different to others.     

Evaluating air emission inventories and indicators from cruise vessels at ports

This paper provides an estimation of air emissions (CO₂, NO_X, SO_X and PM) released by cruise vessels at the port level. The methodology is based on the “full bottom-up” approach and starts by evaluating the fuel consumed by each vessel on the basis of its individual port activities (manoeuvring, berthing and hoteling). The Port of Barcelona was selected as the site at which to perform the analysis, in which 125 calls of 30 cruise vessels were monitored. Real-time data from the automatic identification system (AIS), factor emissions from engine certificates and vessel characteristics from IHS Sea-web database were also collected for the analysis. The research findings show that the most appropriate indicators are inventory emissions per “port-time gross tonnage”, “port-time passenger” and “port time”. These emission indicators improve our understanding of cruise emissions and will facilitate the work that aims to estimate reliably and quickly the in-port ship emission inventories of cruise ports.     

基于分子动力学的车流运行动态特性及其模型

车辆跟驰行为受前导车和道路环境等的影响,将车辆抽象成相互作用的分子,基于分子动力学构建相互作用势函数,建立基于相互作用势函数的分子跟驰模型.采集试验路段不同点位的交通流样本,从视频中获得所需数据,并对加速度波动特性进行分析.将车辆运行状态分为常态行驶,起动加速和减速停车3种,根据实测交通数据对3种车辆运行状态进行模型参数标定,同时对分子跟驰模型进行稳定性分析验证,结果表明,相对于经典GM模型,分子跟驰模型稳定性更好,对实际交通状态拟合程度更高.     

河床边界条件改变对强约束型分汊河道冲刷调整的影响

通过实测资料分析的方法,以宜都河道为例,研究了水库蓄水后强约束型分汉河道的冲刷调整规律.在此基础上,进而通过概化模型试验,研究强约束性分汊河道中,河床边界条件的变化对分汊河道水流运动和冲刷调整规律的影响.研究表明:1)由于水库蓄水后河床发生剧烈的冲刷调整,将导致河道河床边界条件特别是两汊高程差的变化,分流格局随之改变;2)河道边界条件发生变化,水流动力轴线可以由稳定于一汊转化为两汉交替,其冲刷调整形式也从一汉冲刷占优转化为两汊冲刷交替占优;3)分汊河道在水库蓄水初期的剧烈调整过程及其河床边界条件的变化一定程度上影响着分汊河道的发展趋势,要充分认识分汊河道在水库蓄水初期剧烈调整过程中所可能出现的问题,引导其朝好的方向发展.

等惯性两区段分散输水系统在40 m级单级巨型船闸中的应用*

输水系统是船闸实现其功能的关键设施,其设计直接影响船闸工程的安全与效率。等惯性四区段出水分散输水系统是目前国内外高水头大型船闸常用的输水系统形式,但其结构复杂、建设难度大,且由于设置第二分流口而带来自身空化等问题。为解决上述问题,结合我国内河船闸特点,通过国内外工程资料分析、理论与计算分析、物理模型试验等手段,提出并验证了“闸墙长廊道+闸室中心立体分流+闸底两区段四纵支廊道出水+侧支孔+明沟消能”的等惯性两区段输水系统形式在40 m级单级巨型船闸中的适用性,为高水头大型船闸建设提供参考和依据。
