对中等城市公交补贴问题的思考

资金保障是公交优先发展的重要支撑条件,而财政补贴则是公交企业获取资金的重要方式,在以往公交运营管理中,由于缺乏对政策性亏损和经营性亏损的清晰界定.加上未建立完善的公交补贴机制,导致在公交补贴这一问题上较为混乱,一定程度上制约了公交发展.文章以中等城市为研究对象,在明确公共交通属性的基础上,对公交补贴的核心技术问题进行了分析,最后,文章还对中等城市未来面临的复杂公交组成条件下的公交补贴问题进行了初步探讨.

浅谈宁波市水上公共交通的可行性

考虑到宁波市林立的桥梁,较大的水域纵横连通,同时路面上的交通状况时常不理想,本文基于历史面向未来,从民众需求,政府支持,航道情况,其他兄弟城市的相关现状等角度着手,通过文献调研,问卷调查,数据分析等方式来论述宁波市发展水上公共交通的可行性.     

城市客运模式选择研究

国内目前各城市的客运发展存在着地域之间不平衡,发展面临问题众多的局面,行业管理存在较多待破解的关键性问题.本文从城市客运管理运营模式作为研究视角,通过审视和比较世界不同城市交通的发展模式,结合影响城市客运模式的主要决定因素,论证国内目前的发展阶段和城市客运模式,研究提出适合于中国特点的、可持续发展的城市交通发展模式.     

进一步改进交通法则 解决城市交通问题

在城市交通流的管理过程中,本文引入“交通流重新排队”和“公共交通排队优先”两种管理模 式。在交通管理信号的红灯时间段,实现交通流重新排队。在这一重新排队过程中,公共交通有优先权。这 就产生了一种新的交通管理信号法则——公共交通优先通行法则。公共交通优先通行法则,指挥公共交通优 先通行,同时通过对配时时刻的调整,抑制非公...     

气垫船用复合材料空气导管结构布局和优化设计

根据空气导管的结构特点,考虑复合材料设计和制造一体化的特性,结合复合材料结构力学基本原理,提出一种可行的气垫船（Air-Cushion Vessel,ACV）用复合材料空气导管结构布局和优化设计方案。基于多约束目标优化对空气导管、内部加强结构的构型及尺寸等进行总体布局设计和优化,并利用有限元分析方法对导管结构进行极限过载的等效分析。计算结果表明,该复合材料空气导管结构在极限过载工况条件下可保持正常运行,满足结构整体的强度和刚度要求。     

Valuing crowding in public transport: Implications for cost-benefit analysis

This paper investigates the valuation of crowding in public transport trips and its implications in demand estimation and cost-benefit analysis. We use a choice-based stated preference survey where crowding levels are represented by means of specially designed pictures, and use these data to estimate flexible discrete choice models. We assume that the disutility associated with travelling under crowded conditions is proportional to travel time. Our results are consistent with and extend previous findings in the literature: passenger density has a significant effect on the utility of travelling by public transport; in fact, the marginal disutility of travel time in a crowded vehicle (6 standing-passengers/m²) is 2.5 times higher than in a vehicle with available seats. We also compare the effects of different policies for improving bus operations, and the effect of adding crowding valuation in cost-benefit analysis. In doing that, we endogenise the crowding level as the result of the equilibrium between demand and supplied bus capacity. Our results indicate that important benefits may be accrued from policies designed to reduce crowding, and that ignoring crowding effects significantly overestimate the bus travel demand the benefits associated with pure travel time reductions.

Decision Support Systems for Public Transport Management: The Athens Public Transport Authority Project

This article reports on an implementation study of a computerised decision support system for public transport management for the Athens Public Transport Authority (APTA). The study analysed the current situation, specified user requirements, determined system functionality, designed the system architecture, organised the project and, finally, planned dissemination activities. The decision support system covers the main public transport management activities of APTA - transport service provision, economic and financial planning, passenger complaints and suggestions, and personnel management - offering its users the possibility to study the potential effects of their decisions before implementation. To achieve this, the system will consist of a data warehousing system, for the integrated management of a wide variety of data sources, and of online analytical processing tools, for information analysis and scenario testing. The system architecture has been designed to offer robustness, flexibility, rich functionality and open connectivity. The system aims to help APTA reduce operational costs and provide a better transport service, attracting more passengers to public transport and reducing, in the process, congestion and pollution.     

Traffic noise studies in a tropical environment

This paper reports upon a survey of traffic noise annoyance in three residential districts of Trinidad, West Indies. Householder perceptions were solicited by means of a questionnaire survey and direct measurements of traffic noise levels were taken. The results were compared with surveys elsewhere. It was concluded that household status had little effect on annoyance perception, that at L₁₀ levels greater than 70 dB(A) at a dwelling facade the noise level is unacceptable. L₁₀ levels less than 65 dB(A) at the building facade are not perceived as annoying in the environment considered.
