Planning transport for social inclusion: An accessibility-activity participation approach

Social equity is increasingly becoming an important objective in transport planning and project evaluation. This paper provides a framework and an empirical investigation in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) examining the links between public transit accessibility and the risks of social exclusion, simply understood as the suppressed ability to conduct daily activities at normal levels. Specifically, we use a large-sample travel survey to present a new transport-geography concept termed participation deserts, neighbourhood-level clusters of lower than expected activity participation. We then use multivariate models to estimate where, and for whom, improvements in transit accessibility will effectively increase activity participation and reduce risks of transport-related social exclusion. Our results show that neighbourhoods with high concentrations of low-income and zero-car households located outside of major transit corridors are the most sensitive to having improvements in accessibility increase daily activity participation rates. We contend that transit investments providing better connections to these neighbourhoods would have the greatest benefit in terms of alleviating existing inequalities and reducing the risks of social exclusion. The ability for transport investments to liberate suppressed activity participation is not currently being predicted or valued in existing transport evaluation methodologies, but there is great potential in doing so in order to capture the social equity benefits associated with increasing transit accessibility.

考虑用户偏好的共享汽车混合运营模式优化

针对共享汽车运营商的油车和电车混合车队调度问题，本文将自由流动式和站点借还式两种运营模式相结合，提出考虑用户用车类型偏好的共享汽车系统优化模型。模型为油车和电车车队分别设置了自由流动式和站点借还式的运营模式，并进行运营范围决策、站点选址和车辆调度优化；运营商优先满足用户的用车类型偏好选择，对无法满足偏好的用户进行补贴。根据优化模型基本特征，设计基于梯度的启发式求解方法，对大规模非线性混合整数规划模型进行求解；针对案例区域，比较有无补贴的混合车队模式和单一车队模式的优化结果。结果表明：相比无补贴模式，有补贴模式能够鼓励偏好燃油汽车的用户更多地使用电动汽车，需求满足率从73.4%提高到78.2%，运营商利润提高了46.4%；相比单一类型车队，混合车队能够吸引更多用户使用共享汽车，用户需求数提高了40.6%。     

新形势下中欧班列的市场空间及其改善策略

基于中欧班列运输组织过程，本文提出班列运行效率与经济性评估方法。通过与海陆联运、航空运输等竞争方式比较，建立中欧班列的竞争力分析测算模型。考虑俄乌冲突引发的世界经贸格局重组，分析中欧班列径路及其市场空间变化。研究认为：地缘政治风险加剧了欧洲端市场贸易的不稳定性，使中欧班列及中欧间其他海陆通道的运到时限均有所增加。总体上中欧班列在原通道上的市场竞争力受到一定挑战，市场空间有所收窄。欧洲局势的变化需要打造和拓展新的运输径路，其中地中海径路具有一定发展潜力。在中欧班列运输新径路的打造中，应重点兼顾区域稳定性和沿线货运市场因素，以便为中欧班列运行提供更大的市场空间。新运行径路下稳定的区域环境为提升中欧班列竞争力提供了利好条件，从而推动中欧班列的可持续发展。     

The impact of automated transit,pedestrian, and bicycling facilities on urban travel patterns

This article reports on an integrated modeling exercise, conducted on behalf of the US Federal Highway Administration, on the potential for frequent automated transit shuttles (‘community transit’), in conjunction with improvements to the walking and cycling environment, to overcome the last-mile problem of regional rail transit and thereby divert travelers away from car use. A set of interlocking investigations was undertaken, including development of urban visualizations, distribution of a home-based survey supporting a stated-preference model of mode choice, development of an agent-based model, and alignment of the mode-choice and agent-based models. The investigations were designed to produce best-case estimates of the impact of community transit and ancillary improvements in reducing car use. The models in combination suggested significant potential to divert drivers, especially in areas that were relatively transit-poor to begin with.

An eigenmodel for iterative line planning,timetabling and vehicle scheduling in public transportation

Planning a public transportation system is a multi-objective problem which includes among others line planning, timetabling, and vehicle scheduling. For each of these planning stages, models are known and advanced solution techniques exist. Some of the models focus on costs, others on passengers’ convenience. Setting up a transportation system is usually done by optimizing each of these stages sequentially.In this paper we argue that instead of optimizing each single step further and further it would be more beneficial to consider the whole process in an integrated way. To this end, we develop and discuss a generic, bi-objective model for integrating line planning, timetabling, and vehicle scheduling. We furthermore propose an eigenmodel which we apply for these three planning stages and show how it can be used for the design of iterative algorithms as heuristics for the integrated problem. The convergence of the resulting iterative approaches is analyzed from a theoretical point of view. Moreover, we propose an agenda for further research in this field.

手机数据在交通调查和交通规划中的应用

手机作为一种理想的交通探测器,为居民出行信息分析提供了很好的技术选择。将手机数据映射至交通分析单元,并经信息预处理、匹配分析、交通模型分析处理、数据去噪、扩样等一系列海量数据运算处理,最终可获得居民出行特征数据。利用长期历史手机话单数据,可分析常住人口和就业人口分布、通勤出行特征、大区间OD、特定区域出行特征、流动人口出行特征等。手机信令数据能够较完整地识别手机用户的出行轨迹,可进一步应用于分析城市人口时空动态分布、特定区域客流集散、查核线断面或关键通道客流、轨道交通客流特征、出行时耗、出行距离、出行强度、道路交通状态等。根据天津手机话单数据应用案例及上海手机信令数据应用案例,验证了技术可行性。
