On the income elasticity of the value of travel time

Transport infrastructure is long-term and in appraisal it is necessary to value travel time savings for future years. This requires knowing how the value of time (VTT) will develop over time as incomes grow. This paper investigates if the cross-sectional income elasticity of the VTT is equal to inter-temporal income elasticity. The study is based on two identical stated choice experiments conducted with a 13 year interval. Results indicate that the relationship between income and the VTT in the cross-section has remained unchanged over time. As a consequence, the inter-temporal income elasticity of the VTT can be predicted based on cross-sectional income elasticity. However, the income elasticity of the VTT is not a constant but increases with income. For this reason, the average income elasticity of the VTT in the cross-sections has increased between the two survey years and can be expected to increase further over time.

大兴路立交匝道桥震害原因分析及修复方案

汶川地震中,位于汶川地震烈度较低区域的西安市大兴路立交发生了较大的破坏。为分析该桥震害原因,采用MIDAS Civil软件建立该桥有限元模型,运用非线性时程方法分析结构的地震响应。分析结果表明:该桥较多滑动支座的支承体系降低了其对主梁变位的约束能力;场地地震动的长周期特性使梁体与支座产生滑移后自振周期延长,导致结构从地震波中吸收了较多能量,加剧了震害。对比2种支承体系修复方案的抗震性能后,推荐支承体系修复方案采用四氟滑板橡胶支座(边墩)、普通板式橡胶支座(中墩)的方案。

A theoretical foundation for the relationship between generalized origin–destination matrix and flow matrix based on ordinal graph trajectories

This paper shows the relationship between flow, generalized origin–destination (OD), and alternative route flow from a set of ordinal graph trajectories. In contrast to traffic assignment methods that employ OD matrix to produce flow matrix, we use ordinal trajectory on a network graph as input and produce both the generalized OD matrix and the flow matrix, with the alternative and substitute route flow matrices as additional outputs. By using linear algebra‐like operations on matrix sets, the relationship between network utilization (in terms of flow, generalized OD, alternative route flow, and desire line) and network structure (in terms of distance matrix and adjacency matrix) are derived.

Incorporating sustainability assessment in transportation planning: an urban transportation vehicle-based approach

Environmental assessments are on the critical path for the development of land, infrastructure and transportation systems. These assessments are based on planning methods which, in turn, are subject to continuous enhancement. The substantial impacts of transportation on environment, society and economy strongly urge the incorporation of sustainability into transportation planning. Two major developments that enhance transportation sustainability are new fuels and vehicle power systems. Traditional planning ignores technology including the large differences among conventional, hybrid and alternative fuel vehicles and buses. The introduction of alternative fuel vehicles is likely to change the traditional transportation planning process because different characteristics need to be taken into account. In this study a sustainability framework is developed that enables assessment of transportation vehicle characteristics. Identified indicators are grouped in five sustainability dimensions (Environment, Technology, Energy, Economy and Users). Our methodology joins life cycle impacts and a set of quantified indicators to assess the sustainability performance of seven popular light-duty vehicles and two types of transit buses. Bus Rapid Transit receives the highest sustainability index and the pickup truck the lowest. Hybrid electric vehicles are found to have the highest sustainability index among all other passenger vehicles. A sensitivity analysis shows the proposed sustainability dimensions produce robust sustainability assessment for several weighting scenarios. The results are both technology and policy sensitive, thus useful for both short- and long-term planning.     

假设检验教学中一个问题的探讨

在假设检验中,怎样选择原假设与备择假设,有人叙述为:"通常把希望得到的陈述视为备择假设",很多教师也是按此进行课堂教学的。我认为应该是把"不能轻易否定的"作为原假设,或者把"有充分依据才能肯定的"作为备择假设。且在有实际意义的检测中,原假设与备择假设的选取,与检测者的态度或希望无关,具有一定客观性,一般它们不能互换。
