Simulating ad-hoc demand-responsive transportation: a comparison of three approaches

Transport models are used to evaluate new infrastructure and public transport services, varied levels of demand, and new ideas for demand management. Exploring these proposals virtually is easier than implementation and testing in situ. However, existing models are based around traditional forms of transportation. As part of a feature analysis using a case study approach, three different simulation packages (a simple custom-developed package, traffic microsimulation, and agent-based simulation) are used to develop and demonstrate simulations of demand-responsive transportation (DRT) and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each simulation approach for evaluating DRT. While the simulations display some relational replication (meaning they produce similar relational patterns with respect to certain variables), they do not show distributional replication (that is, the value of the results is not statistically similar), meaning that under- or over-estimation of predicted travel could occur. Recommendations for the application of each modeling approach are made.     

The Bid-rent Land Use Model of the simple,efficient, elegant,and effective model of land use and transportation

Integrated land use/transportation forecasting models add significant policy and infrastructure alternatives analysis capabilities to the urban planning process. The financial, time, and staff requirements to develop these models has put them beyond the reach of most small to medium sized urban areas. This paper presents the land use allocation submodel of the Simple, Efficient, Elegant, and Effective model of land use and transportation (SE³M), an integrated land use and transportation forecasting model founded upon Economic Base Theory and Bid-rent Theory. The Bid-rent Land Use Model (BLUM) is an agent based, spatial competition model utilizing unique utility curves for willingness to pay and incomes for budget constrained abilities to pay for each agent. The model structure, estimation, calibration, implementation, and validation are presented. With a single year of land use data available, the validation approach used the Kappa Index of Agreement to spatially check model outputs against base year control data while controlling for agreement by chance. The U.S. territory of Guam is used as the case study/proof of concept implementation for this model framework. Once calibrated, BLUM could solve the spatial competition problem on Guam in less than two minutes of processing time with over 90% accuracy.     

盾构管片模具三维激光扫描检测关键技术

目前盾构管片模具主要采用传统的人工和激光跟踪测量技术进行检测,存在检测点位少,精度低等缺点,不能很好地指导管片模具的修复工作,直接影响到管片尺寸的生产精度,易造成盾构隧道管片破损、开裂及渗漏水等现象,为后期的运营埋下了安全隐患。宁波市轨道交通利用三维激光扫描技术对管片模具进行检测,通过理论分析、现场试验及数据分析,确定了点云数据的拼接方式、扫描分辨率、基准模型及模型对齐的方式,成功克服了现有的管片模具检测中存在的测量点位少、精度低等缺点,实现了对管片模具的全方位检测,大大提高了管片模具的检测精度。同时在参考现有规范及经验的基础上,制定出了盾构管片模具三维激光扫描检测标准,很好地指导了管片模具的修复工作,提高了盾构管片尺寸的生产精度,确保盾构隧道的施工质量。
