Investigating the effects of psychological factors on commuting mode choice behaviour

This paper utilizes socio-psychometric survey data to investigate the influence of attitudes, affective appraisal and habit formation on commuting mode choice. The data-set was collected in 2009–2010 in Edmonton, Alberta. In addition to conventional socio-economic, demographic and modal attributes, the survey gathered psychological information regarding habitual behaviour, affective appraisal and personal attitudes. Different psychometric tools were used to capture psychological factors affecting mode choice. Habitual behaviour was measured using Verplanken's response-frequency questionnaire. Affective appraisal was indirectly estimated using the Osgood's semantic differential. Five-point Likert scales were used to measure attitude. The structural equation modelling (SEM) approach was used to investigate the effects of psychological factors on mode choice behaviour. SEM captures the latent nature of psychological factors and uses path diagrams to identify the directionality as well as intensity of the relationships. The investigation reveals that passengers have positive emotions towards their chosen mode. Further, evidence of the superiority of the car as a travel alternative was established in terms of strong habit towards it, such that passengers would use the car for almost every single trip.

考虑出行环境的居住满意度结构方程模型

为解决居住满意度缺少定量涵盖出行环境的问题,从出行环境、地理区位、社区环境、住房条件4 个维度提取居住满意度的影响因素,构建涵盖5 个潜变量、21 个测量变量的居住满意度结构方程模型,描述出行环境对居住满意度的影响及相互作用关系. 结果表明：出行环境、地理区位、社区环境、住房条件对居住满意度均有显著的正向影响,地理区位对出行环境也存在显著的正向影响;各维度总的影响效应呈现出地理区位(0.913),出行环境(0.877),社区环境(0.748),住房条件(0.532)依次递减的趋势,但出行环境对居住满意度的直接影响最大,其值为0.887.     

面向公路主动式防冰处置的行业信息物理系统

针对面向智能交通的行业信息物理系统（CPS）,以公路冰雪灾害防治作为应用目标,基于信息物理融合理论设计了公路主动式防冰处置的CPS模型,形成由一系列跨越信息世界、物理世界的节点相互耦合而成的巨型分布式反馈控制系统。围绕该CPS模型,提出了基于热力学规律的 路面温度短时预测算法,并基于风险理论设计了主动式防冰控制策略。对实测数据的实验分析和实际路段的系统应用表明,由于在预测算法中考虑了空气温度与路面温度的耦合变化关系,该 CPS 具有较高的预测精度,30min 的平均路面温度预测误差约为±0.2℃;该CPS 的融冰处置能够覆盖高速公路约3/4 的有效行车区域,可以预先避免凝冰和积雪的形成或是主动降低其危害性。

新疆地区含砂低液限粉土路基回弹模量试验研究

通过新疆地区低液限粉土路基的室内杠杆承载板法试验,分析了影响土基回弹模量E0的主要因素:压实度K、含水率ρ、细粒土粉粘粒组成等,并总结回弹模量随这些因素的变化规律及相关关系。先考虑单一因素对于不同土质的土,当含水量为最佳含水量时其压实度与回弹模量之间具有良好的线性关系;当压实度一定时其回弹模量与含水率之间用乘幂函数回归也具有良好的线性关系。结合考虑压实度和含水率来回归分析回弹模量与它们之间的关系,结果与单一考虑时是一致的,并对今后的研究方向提出了建议。

Understanding user acceptance factors of electric vehicle smart charging

Smart charging has been the focus of considerable research efforts but so far there is little notion of users’ acceptance of the concept. This work considers potentially influential factors for the acceptance of smart charging from the literature and tests their viability employing a structural equation model, following the partial least squares approach. For a sample of 237 early electric vehicle adopters from Germany our results show that contributing to grid stability and the integration of renewable energy sources are key motivational factors for acceptance of smart charging. In addition, the individual need for flexibility should not be impaired through charging control. Further well known influential factors like economic incentives do not seem to have a significant impact in the sample group under scrutiny. These and further findings should be taken into account by aggregators when designing attractive business models that incentivize the participation of early adopters and ease market rollout.
