Demand for rail travel to and from airports

Rail access to airports is becoming increasingly important for both train operators and the airports themselves. This paper reports analysis of inter-urban rail demand to and from Manchester and Stansted Airports and the sensitivity of this market segment to growth in air traffic and the cost and service quality of rail services. The estimated demand parameters vary in an expected manner between outward and inward air travellers as well as between airport users and general rail travellers. These parameters can be entered into the demand forecasting framework widely used in the rail industry in Great Britain to provide an appropriate means of forecasting for this otherwise neglected market segment. The novel features of this research, at least in the British context, are that it provides the first detailed analysis of aggregate rail flows to and from airports, it has disaggregated the traditional generalised time measure of rail service quality in order to estimate separate elasticities to journey time, service headway and interchange, and it has successfully explored departures from the conventional constant elasticity position.     

Pushing the CZMA Envelope: California: The First State to Litigate the New Federal Law

As noted often by the former California Coastal Commission Executive Director Peter Douglas, the history of how the California coast was saved is a great repository of untold stories. Although the Commission has had a dramatic and tangible impact on California's coastal geography, the public is largely unaware of many of its early accomplishments. This article begins to chronicle the rich stories of California's coastal legacy by telling the story of how the Commission utilized the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) to prevent Southern Pacific Railroad from developing a seven-mile stretch of the Monterey Bay shoreline. In so doing, the Commission helped make possible the creation of the Monterey Peninsula Recreational Trail, a public bicycle and pedestrian path that has grown to sixteen miles in length and runs through the heart of John Steinbeck's world-famous Cannery Row. The controversy also was the subject of the first judicial challenge of a state's federal authority under the CZMA and precluded private commercial and residential development that would have dramatically altered the urban form of the Monterey Peninsula. It is important to tell the story as the Coastal Commission's role in this remarkable accomplishment has been almost completely overlooked.     

Z形刚架半棚式明洞方案比选和设计分析

为了选择落石威胁下的严重偏压地形地段的合理工程方案,满足工程美学和环保要求,通过各种方案比选,提出一种新型结构形式—Z形刚架半棚式明洞。针对落石冲击荷载进行计算分析,分析结果表明:在各种冲击角度下,冲击荷载小于1800 k N时,各部位第一主应力均小于混凝土抗拉极限强度;Z形刚架半棚式明洞具有较强的抗落石冲击能力,具有较好的安全性。Z形刚架半棚式明洞具有开挖小,能承受落石荷载较大,受力特性较好,结构美观,对沿途景观和植被破坏小,施工较为方便等优点,具有较好的应用前景,可给隧道设计、施工和研究提供有益的借鉴和参考。     

无碰撞区准同步跳频通信系统多址干扰性能分析

基于跳频通信边缘效应的多址干扰性能分析模型,即四碰撞态Markov过程模型,本文分析了基于新型无碰撞区(NHZ)跳频序列的准同步跳频通信系统用户干扰性能。当准同步跳频系统组网时工作在NHZ跳频序列集的无碰撞区内时,用户的载波频率表现为无碰撞状态;而在无碰撞区边缘的碰撞状态则可视具体情况分为无碰撞或左碰撞或右碰撞状态;对于无碰撞区外的碰撞状态则为无碰撞或左碰撞或右碰撞或左右都碰撞的状态。据此本文分析了无碰撞区准同步跳频通信系统的载波频率碰撞状态序列的特性,并提出适合无碰撞区准同步跳频通信系统的用户干扰性能分析模型。分析和数值结果表明,采用NHZ跳频码的准同步跳频通信系统的多址干扰性能优于采用随机跳频码的异步通信系统。
