Intention and willingness to pay for green freight transportation: An empirical examination

The objective of this paper is to explore what motivates consumer intention and willingness to pay for green transportation. The model is based on the theory of planned behavior and explains the relationship between consumer attitude, perceived behavioral control and peer pressure on intention and willingness to pay for a t-shirt that was transported using energy efficient fuel. Data from a survey of U.S. consumers is analyzed. Results suggest consumer attitude and peer pressure are positively associated with intention which is positively associated with willingness to pay. High levels of consumer attitude, perceived behavioral control and intention suggest a positive outlook for organizations investing in green transportation initiatives. Results also suggest a need for organizations and government to market and educate consumers and citizens about the positive implications of green transportation and using energy efficient fuel.

基于模糊集理论的公路建设项目综合评价

建立了一种基于模糊集理论的公路建设项目综合评价方法,分别通过评价语言变量和权重语言变量将评价指标体系的定性指标和定量指标及权重全部转化为三角形模糊数,克服了定性与定量评价指标不具可比性的缺点;基于最优度概念,将权重模糊评价矩阵转化成模糊单一评价矩阵,避免传统模糊数之间比较的复杂性和不精确性;考虑到评价者在模糊评价环境下对风险的态度,将乐观系数引入评价过程;采用TOPSIS方法计算出评价方案的综合评价分数并进行排序。实例研究结果与主成分分析法的结果一致,表明了方法的合理性和有效性。     

中国建筑业在国民经济体系中后向关联性的计量研究

文中采集中国2007年的统计数据,根据Leontief投入产出理论,以国民经济体系中42个产业部门为对象,分析了建筑业与各产业的后向关联性。结果表明,建筑业每增加一个单位的产出,将对其他产业部门产生0.7686个单位的直接需求拉动,直接与间接需求拉动总和则为2.4869个单位,建筑业对完全关联密切的产业消耗量占总消耗量的比例为73.27%,需求较为集中。供给方面,建筑业对第二产业的供给依赖最大,达81.37%,表明我国建筑业依然处于物资消耗的较粗放扩张阶段。

The applicability of non-cooperative game theory in transport analysis

Various models that incorporate concepts from Non-Cooperative Game Theory (NCGT) are described in the transport literature. Game Theory provides powerful tools for analysing transport systems, but these tools have some drawbacks that should be recognised. In the current paper we review games that describe transport problems and discuss them within a uniform context. Although the paper does not introduce new tools, it presents insights concerning the relations between transport models and games. We divide existing games into groups and show that some common features characterise multiple games. We distinguish between games that make a conceptual contribution and games that are suitable for application. Compact or symmetric game structures make remarkable observations but often do not support actual decision-making. Less aesthetic formats, most of which are Stackelberg games between authorities and travellers, are stronger as instruments that assist in determining real-life policies; these formulations can be treated by practitioners as mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints and not as games.

He previously worked for the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology; for the Israel Institute for Transportation Planning and Research; and for the public transport department at Ayalon Highways Co. Joseph N. Prashker is a professor at the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology. Till recently he served as head of the Transportation Research Institute at the Technion. His interests are behavioural demand models, network analysis, and Game Theory applications in transportation.     

Methods using belief functions to manage imperfect information concerning events on the road in VANETs

Different models using belief functions are proposed and compared in this article to share and manage imperfect information about events on the road in vehicular networks. In an environment without infrastructure, the goal is to provide to driver the synthesis of the situation on the road from all acquired information. Different strategies are considered: discount or reinforce towards the absence of the event to take into account messages agings, keep the original messages or only the fusion results in vehicles databases, consider the world update, manage the spatiality of traffic jams by taking into account neighborhood. Methods are tested and compared using a Matlab™ simulator. Two strategies are introduced to tackle fog blankets spatiality; they are compared through an example.
