Estimation of value of travel time reliability

In mode choice decision, travelers consider not only travel time but also reliability of its modes. In this paper, reliability was expressed in terms of standard deviation and maximum delay that were measured based on triangular distribution. In order to estimate value of time and value of reliability, the Multinomial and Nested Logit models were used. The analysis results revealed that reliability is an important factor affecting mode choice decisions. Elasticity is used to estimate the impacts of the different policies and system improvements for water transportation mode. Among these policies, decision maker can assess and select the best alternative by doing the benefit and cost analysis based on a new market share, the value of time, and the value of reliability. Finally, a set of promising policies and system improvement of the water transportation were proposed.     

Valuation of externalities through neo-classical methods by including institutional variables

Externalities are uncompensated influences that are not expressed in a market but that affect the production possibilities or the welfare level of third parties. An example is the noise pollution in airport areas. Although air transport is an important source of economic growth and employment in many countries, the social and environmental problems connected with this sector are rising rapidly. Consequently, airports are becoming a matter of concern to many politicians. On what kind of values should they base their decisions as to further growth or consolidation of the current situation? In this paper we discuss two approaches, one based on mainstream, neo-classical, economics, and one based on institutional approaches, more in particular new institutional economics, which can be seen as a development complementary to the mainstream.

Managing transportation during highway reconstruction: A recommended process

Major highway reconstruction can cause significant disruptions to existing travel patterns and economic activity. Reducing these impacts on travelers, shippers, businesses and residents requires that innovative and effective transportation management actions be developed and implemented. This paper reports the major findings and recommendations of a research study on managing transportation during highway, reconstruction. The primary objectives of the study were

新开通地铁城市乘客安全知识认知度调研

为了解和掌握杭州等新开通地铁城市的乘客乘坐地铁出行所具备的安全知识、安全意识水平,利用调查问卷的方法对乘客基本安全知识的认知程度、安全意识、安全行为和突发事件的反应进行初步调查分析与研究。结果表明:63%的乘客对于安全标识的含义、紧急报警装置等了解程度不高;87.88%的乘客表示没有接受过相关安全知识的宣传教育;68.19%的乘客对于地铁这种特殊的公共交通工具的安全性表现出主动关心;90%以上的乘客未携带危险品进站乘车、未在站内/车厢内吸烟,安全行为较好;同时当地铁站内发生突发事件(如火灾、爆炸、停电、恐怖袭击等)时,57.58%的受访者表示在面临危险的情况下可以保持镇定的态度并能听从指挥。     

铁路参与现代应急物流体系建设的策略探讨

随着应急事件的不断发生,应急物流逐渐成为物流研究的热点.从应急物流与铁路运输的相互关系出发,讨论铁路参与应急物流的必要性,通过对铁路参与应急物流的SWOT（优势、劣势、机会、威胁）分析,阐述铁路参与应急物流体系建设面临的机遇与挑战,确立铁路要以自身为主导,参与应急物流网络构建的发展目标,并探讨了相应的管理及技术策略.     

铁路工程T梁不同运架方式施工工艺及造价分析

目前,铁路建设的T型梁运输架设,一般采用“边铺边架”的施工组织方案,该方案存在架梁方向单一、工作面少的缺点。为了弥补这种单一运架方式的不足,达到增加工作面,赶工期的目的,出现了汽车吊架梁、公铁两用架桥机架梁方式。此文通过调研,阐述这2种运架梁方式的施工工序及工艺,并针对现行铁路工程定额体系中的缺项部分进行分析与补充,希望能为今后的类似工程设计施工起到借鉴作用。     

南昌西站综合交通枢纽环境振动试验分析

现代大型综合交通枢纽综合了多种交通工具,实现了航空、高铁、普铁、轨道交通、公交和磁悬浮列车等多种交通方式的零换乘或短距离换乘。站房结构中包含高架桥梁、隧道和大跨度空间等复杂结构体系。由复杂结构形式而引发的环境振动,往往对人和精密仪器的使用造成极大的伤害。对南昌西站综合交通枢纽环境振动实测分析的结果表明,振动响应满足环境测评标准和舒适度要求。     

提高有轨电车平交路口空间利用率的交通组织模式

为提高有轨电车路口的空间利用率,减少有轨电车对社会车辆的影响,提出允许机动车在平交路口进口道借用有轨电车轨道空间排队的交通组织模式。分析了该模式对机动车通行能力和延误的改善及对有轨电车运行的影响,并用VISSIM软件进行仿真验证。结果表明,该方案在特定条件下可以有效提高平交路口机动车通行能力,降低延误。     

中低速磁浮线连续弯梁设计研究

依托唐山试验线曲线半径为100m的17.7m+27m+17.7m斜弯连续梁,对中低速磁浮线轨道梁设计进行初步探讨。为了满足车辆限界和轨道安装及承轨台预埋件的要求,连续曲梁截面斜置,构成复杂的空间扭转曲线箱梁。轨道梁桥面与轨道采用承轨台上置式连接方式。为了增加轨道梁的横向稳定性,采取了增大梁宽、加大支座横向间距、设置拉力支座等构造措施。根据连续曲梁的受力特点,建立空间模型进行了计算分析,并参考相关规范,讨论了轨道梁刚度和动力特性的设计要求。
