On the income elasticity of the value of travel time

Transport infrastructure is long-term and in appraisal it is necessary to value travel time savings for future years. This requires knowing how the value of time (VTT) will develop over time as incomes grow. This paper investigates if the cross-sectional income elasticity of the VTT is equal to inter-temporal income elasticity. The study is based on two identical stated choice experiments conducted with a 13 year interval. Results indicate that the relationship between income and the VTT in the cross-section has remained unchanged over time. As a consequence, the inter-temporal income elasticity of the VTT can be predicted based on cross-sectional income elasticity. However, the income elasticity of the VTT is not a constant but increases with income. For this reason, the average income elasticity of the VTT in the cross-sections has increased between the two survey years and can be expected to increase further over time.     

Modelling the impact of weather conditions on active transportation travel behaviour

Three weather sensitive models are used to explore the relationship between weather and home-based work trips within the City of Toronto, focusing on active modes of transportation. The data are restricted to non-captive commuters who have the option of selecting among five basic modes of auto driver, auto passenger, transit, bike and walk. Daily trip rates in various weather conditions are assessed. Overall, the results confirm that impact of weather on active modes of transportation is significant enough to deserve attention at the research, data collection and planning levels.

中型客车企业工业污水处理工艺探讨

现代客车整车生产企业在生产中的工业用水主要是车身表面涂前处理废水、打磨废水、油漆处理所产生的油漆废水,常规处理方法是先预处理、再生化处理,难度大,成本高。本公司采用系统分析,分项处理,合理回收利用的新型污水处理工艺。     

混合动力汽车通信网络研究

阐述CAN规范和SAE J1939协议;SAE J1939是适用于货车和客车的应用层协议,对于混合动力汽车却没有统一的应用层协议。本文参照SAE J1939协议格式制定出适用于混合动力汽车(HEV)的应用层协议;结合混合动力汽车的控制特点,提出了CAN总线和LIN总线并用的双总线控制方法;通过实验测试了混合动力汽车CAN总线通信性能。实验结果表明,通信网络性能满足控制的实时性要求。     

低入口城市客车骨架结构模态分析

利用ANSYS程序采用空间梁单元和薄壳单元,对某低入口城市客车车身结构的振动特性进行有限元分析。结果显示,当发动机在怠速工况时,它的振动频率接近于客车车身骨架的固有频率,易发生共振,应尽量避免。     

国外客车被动安全研究

近年来,国外大客车被动安全研究进展迅速,并取得了良好的效果。在欧美等国家,虽然公路客运量比重最大,但与其它交通工具相比,大客车交通事故死亡人数却是最少的,这与这些国家客车的被动安全研究有密切的关系。本文从国外客车事故统计与分析、被动安全研究方法以及目前正在研究的新项目等三方面对国外大型客车被动安全研究的状况进行介绍,以对我国刚刚起步的大客车被动安全的研究工作起到推动作用。
