A GPS-aided survey for assessing trip reporting accuracy and travel of students without telephone land lines

A geo-positioning satellite (GPS)-based survey, using a web-based prompted recall tool, was conducted on a sample of 94 students at the University of Toronto from November 2008 to April 2009. The sample included students with and without telephone land lines, allowing for a statistical comparison of demographic and travel behaviour attributes. The same subjects simultaneously completed a traditional trip reporting survey, modelled on the household travel survey in Toronto, allowing for a comparison between the travel behaviour information obtained from the GPS and that reported by the participants in the traditional survey. Students with a land line are more likely to live in houses, with parents, and to live in suburban areas than students without a land line. They also make fewer trips in total, fewer discretionary trips, more transit and auto trips and fewer active trips than students without a land line. By comparing questionnaire-based data and GPS data, we found that most participants reported in the questionnaire either the same number of GPS-based trips or fewer. On average, the GPS survey captured 1.29 more daily trips per participant than the corresponding trips reported in the questionnaire.     

A GIS‐based traffic analysis zone design: implementation and evaluation

The purpose of this paper is to implement an efficient method for GIS‐based traffic analysis zone (TAZ) design in order to evaluate and validate such a method. The method was developed by the authors.

Moran's I spatial autocorrelation coefficient and sample variance are used for evaluating the generated TAZs using the Champaign‐Urbana, IL region as a case study. Sensitivity analysis is also conducted to explore the fluctuations in TAZ generation outcomes. The evaluation, the validation as well as the TAZ design have been implemented with ARC/INFO GIS software on a UNIX workstation platform.     

多GPS铁道轨迹信息融合算法研究

用于列车控制的GPS(Global Positioning System)电子地图需要高精度的轨道数据。由于采集高精度轨道数据所需要的GPS接收机成本过高,研究融合多个低精度的GPS轨迹自动生成高精度轨迹具有重要的应用价值。已有的多轨迹融合算法存在计算过于复杂、计算时间过长和适用范围窄等问题。在主曲线理论的基础上并具有两个高精度固定端点的特征,本文对多GPS铁道轨迹信息融合算法做了进一步研究,采用在最大误差区域增加顶点和局部优化顶点位置的方法,提出一种改进的融合算法。通过实测铁路轨道GPS数据和复杂形状的模拟数据验证,结果表明,改进的融合算法可以有效地融合多个低精度的GPS轨迹自动生成高精度轨迹,并加快计算速度,减少存储空间,增加了适用范围。

贵州省滑坡灾害危险性分区图编制研究

基于GIS对贵州省区域内的滑坡危险性进行评估.首先,研究将历史地质灾害分布、地形、地层岩性、断裂构造、河流水系和年均降雨量作为相互独立的滑坡诱发因子,并对各因子按照一定标准再次分级,形成滑坡危险性评价指标体系,绘制各因子的分级图层;然后,考虑因子贡献率,以黄金分割法确定6个因子对发生滑坡灾害的权重;最后,在GIS环境下,应用权重线性组合模型建立滑坡危险性分区图.根据该图,研究区域被划分成4个危险等级:灾害密集发育区、灾害中等密集发育区、灾害偶发区、灾害基本不发育区.通过将滑坡危险性分区图与历史滑坡分布图叠加对比,验证分区图的准确性和可靠性.
