The Movingo integrated ticket: seamless connections across the mälardalen region of Sweden

ABSTRACT

The need for improved public transport (PT) ticketing in ever-growing deregulated PT markets has made well-designed integrated ticketing systems a priority area of intervention for PT service providers around the world. Yet, very little practical evidence of its impacts are reported in Sweden and in the world at large. The focus of this study was the impacts of the Movingo integrated ticketing scheme in terms of PT patronage, user satisfaction and the perceived quality of the ticketing set-up. Three travel surveys were conducted along the Stockholm-Uppsala route. Methods including logistic regression and correlated t-tests were used to analyse the samples. The findings suggest that the scheme made rail commuting more attractive resulting in an overall increase of about 24% in ticket sales with 3% – 15% car commuters reporting that they patronised PT services after the project. The scheme also resulted in increased rail commuter satisfaction. The overall perceived quality of the ticketing set-up did not however improve due to interoperability challenges. Service providers’ uncertainty about equitable distribution of revenue among the participating service providers, interoperability challenges and the lack of interest among most of the participating service providers to sell Movingo tickets are some issues to be addressed.     

城市轨道交通B型电动客车用户需求书规范化编制

介绍了研究B型电动客车用户需求书规范化的目的、主要内容以及关键技术内容的编制。该用户需求书可以满足我国不同城市对城市轨道交通B型电动客车的招标采购的要求。用户需求书中所列入的各项技术指标均达到国内B型电动客车的先进水平,适用于国内城市轨道交通B型电动客车最高运行速度范围为80~100km／h的招标采购,也可供最高运行速度大于100km／h的B型电动客车招标采购时参考。建议各业主单位在使用该范本时,根据各城市的实际情况、可行性研究报告、初步设计文件等需求进行必要的调整。     

梅洛-庞蒂的身体现象学

作为法国著名的现象学家,梅洛—庞帝的现象学思想可谓独树一帜。他深受胡塞尔现象学思想,特别是其后期现象学思想的影响,并且提出了“身体”这一概念,从而创造出自己独特的身体现象学。

Cost and User Profile of a Coastal Ocean Observing System

Fundamental to sustaining the financial support of a coastal ocean observing system is an intimate knowledge of users and their decision-making processes in order to maximize the worth of ocean observations to them. This article explores the evolving mission of GoMOOS (the Gulf of Maine Ocean Observing System), its costs of providing near real-time observations and observing products, possible methods to assess the benefits of an ocean observing system, and a method for indexing the importance—and thus, potentially, the economic value—that users attach to these observations and products.     

Public Perception of Ocean Governance and Marine Resources Management in Taiwan

Understanding public perception of the oceans, and relationship between society and the sea is an important key to the sustainable management of marine resources. This research reports the first population-based survey on Taiwanese public knowledge, attitudes, and actions on marine-related issues. The stratified random sampling by county was completed with 1,120 telephone respondents from October to December 2010. More than 60% of the respondents have heard about global warming, sea-level rising, the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the coral reef bleaching crisis, and Japan whaling fisheries. However, less than 20% of the respondents are aware of Taiwanese domestic marine policies, such as the Ocean White Paper. On resources conservation, 74.7% of the respondents support the bluefin tuna catches regulations and 76.6% agree that the shark fin fisheries will impact shark resources. Education and age are the major affecting variables for resource conservation and knowledge. Higher education and age 40–49 are most supportive of conservation measures. For marine recreational activities, 42.2% of the respondents can swim, and 44.2% of the respondents had not visited the beach in the previous year. The results suggest that the government could establish a specialized agency to strengthen its marine policy and take more actions to protect ocean environment and conserve marine resources. To encourage more Taiwanese to participate in ocean recreational activities, the government could build a safe facility for marine recreation, cooperate with the private sectors in education, and provide outreach to raise public awareness of the oceans.

Subjective-utility travel time budget modeling in the stochastic traffic network assignment

ABSTRACT

In this article, we propose a new model called subjective-utility travel time budget (SU-TTB) model to capture travelers' risk-averse route choices. In the travel time budget (TTB) and mean-excess travel time (METT) model, a predefined confidence level is needed to capture the risk-aversion in route choice. Due to the day-to-day route travel time variations, the exact confidence level is hard to be predicted. With the SU-TTB model, we assume travelers' confidence level belongs to an interval that they may comply with in the route choice. The two main components of SU-TTB are the utility function and the TTB model. We can show that the SU-TTB can be reduced to the TTB and METT model with proper utility function for the confidence levels. We can also prove its equivalence with our recently proposed nonlinear-expectation route travel time (NERTT) model in some cases and give some new interpretation on the NERTT with this equivalence. Finally, we formulate the SU-TTB model as a variational inequality (VI) problem to model the risk-averse user equilibrium (RAUE), termed as generalized RAUE (GRAUE). The GRAUE is solved via a heuristic gradient projection algorithm, and the model and solution algorithm are demonstrated with the Braess's traffic network and the Nguyen and Dupuis's traffic network.     

基于系统集成理论的城市道路景观设计

在我国城市道路景观实践过程中,由于建造时序的不同,城市道路的“景观破碎、缺乏集成”和“豪华奢侈、脱离实际”,不利于城市系统的和谐发展。鉴于此,本文在深入分析城市道路景观建设目标的基础上,独辟蹊径从系统范畴的角度探讨了一种“集成”的道路景观设计理念,为城市道路景观的建设提供了一个新的思路。     

公共自行车近期文献综述

提供公共自行车服务的城市数量快速发展,从20世纪90年代末屈指可数发展到如今超过800个。通过综述近期公共自行车文献,总结公共自行车研究领域的若干议题。便捷性是出行者使用公共自行车的主要动机。省钱是促使低收入群体使用的原因,与停放站间距离是预测会员数量的重要指标。在一些国家,只有不到半数会员每月使用率少于一次。男性使用率高于女性,但性别失衡情况并未如私人自行车那样显著(至少在自行车使用率低的国家)。年会员最普遍的出行目的是通勤。与私人自行车使用者相比,公共自行车使用者不常佩戴头盔,但在法律强制佩戴头盔的国家,其使用水平则受到影响。公共自行车使用者相比私人自行车使用者不易受伤。未来发展方向包括电动自行车集成、GPS全球定位系统、无停放站系统和改进的公共交通一体化。指出应开展更多研究量化公共自行车在出行方式选择、尾气排放、拥堵和健康方面的影响。
