火灾高温下盾构隧道衬砌结构热力耦合模型试验

为研究火灾高温下盾构隧道衬砌结构的热力耦合行为,利用自主研制的温度加载设备和衬砌管环外压加载设备,分别设计并开展整环衬砌结构的无外压受热模型试验和热力耦合模型试验。试验使用不考虑接头效应的钢纤维混凝土匀质管片。首先,介绍2种试验设备的原理、主要构造和各类参数;在此基础上,针对模型试验过程进行细致的说明。然后,通过对衬砌管片结构形式的分析确定试验的火灾加载工况;详尽描述不同试验的相关结果,重点分析衬砌结构内表面各处温度场的变化过程、分布情况、管片的变形结果及破坏模式。研究结果表明：温度加载设备和衬砌管环外压加载设备能够较好的满足整环衬砌热力耦合研究的模型试验要求;试验初期底部管片的升温速率相对顶部管片有所滞后,但各部分间的温差数值随加热的持续进行会逐渐减小,衬砌结构内部能够形成稳定的温度场;无外力作用下匀质管片的破坏形式表现为沿幅宽方向的贯穿裂缝,各管片结构的裂缝发展路径存在差异;衬砌管片由于外压作用产生的压应变随温度的升高而减小;外压荷载对衬砌结构在高温下产生的膨胀变形存在抑制效果。研究结果可为盾构隧道整环衬砌结构热力耦合研究的进一步发展提供参考。

Regulation of the informal transport sector in Rio de Janeiro,Brazil: welfare impacts and policy analysis

In Brazil, the explosion of informal transport activity during the past decade has had profound effects on formal public transport systems and is a source of great controversy in the urban transportation sector. A variety of policies have been proposed to manage the growth of the sector. This study seeks to understand how proposed policies will impact the users of these systems. A corridor in Rio de Janeiro with substantial informal activity was used as a case study. Measures of welfare changes in a discrete choice framework were used to estimate proposed policies’ impacts on users. Eleven candidate policies were evaluated, ranging from the eradication of the informal modes and investment in formal modes, to the legalization of the informal modes. Benefits were compared with costs and the distribution of benefits across income classes was explored. Net benefits from some policies were found to be substantial. Legalizing the informal sector was found to benefit users slightly but further investments in the sector are probably inefficient. Users benefited most from improvements in formal mass transit modes, at roughly 100–200 dollars per commuter per year. Finally, policies to foster a competitive environment for the delivery of both informal and formal services were shown to benefit users about 100 dollars per commuter per year. Together, the regulation of the informal sector and investments in the formal sector serve to reinforce the movement towards competitive concessions for services and help reduce the impacts of cartelization and costly in-road competition.

You (expect to) get what you pay for: A system approach to delay, fare, and complaints

In this paper, an analytical framework integrating delay, fare, and complaints with passenger air travel has been laid out. Examining aggregate monthly data for US domestic air travel, we have identified causal relationships among fare, complaints, and levels of delay. An analytical framework is proposed that formalizes these relationships in an integrated manner. This integrated framework is then estimated in a set of simultaneous equations by using 118 months of data from January 1997 to October 2006. Results show that complaints are influenced by levels of delays. However, complaints are positively influenced by average yield. These findings lead us to support the central hypothesis that complaints are responsive to levels of delays, but they tend to vary according to fare. That is, air travelers are less likely to complain in return for lower fares, even when faced with the same or even higher levels of delays. These findings have important policy implications, including the passengers’ bill of rights and regulator’s choice between market and operational performances.

Understanding members' carsharing (activity) persistency by using econometric model

Carsharing is an innovative travel alternative that has recently experienced considerable growth and become part of sustainable transportation initiatives. Although carsharing is becoming increasingly a popular alternative transportation mode in North America, it is still an under‐researched area. Current research is aimed at better understanding of the behavior of carsharing users. For every member, a two‐stage approach microsimulates the probability of being active in any month using a binary probit model and given that a particular member is active during a month, the probability of that member using the service multiple times using a random utility‐based model. The model is estimated using empirical data from one of the largest carsharing companies in North America. The model estimates reveal that the activity persistency of members is positively linked to previous behaviors for up to 4 months, and that the influence of previous months weakens over time. It also shows that some attributes of the traveler (gender, age, and language spoken at home) impact his or her behaviors. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
