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.

云南省民航客运发展预测

民航运输是云南省在进行综合交通运输建设的重点之一,也是该省在未来"十四五"(2021-2025年)和"十五五"(2026-2030年)规划期间的研究热点。本文以云南省为研究范围,以省内民航客运为研究对象,选取省内主要的社会经济因素为影响因子,运用主成分分析法(PCA)、反向传播神经网络算法(BP神经网络算法)和回归分析法,构建了省内民航客运的预测模型,得出省内各主要机场在"十四五"末和"十五五"末的预计旅客吞吐量,对省政府在进行机场改扩建上有一定的指导意义。

四川南向通道改造及建设的方案研究

研究目的：通过分析西南路网现状和存在问题，对四川出川通道进行规划展望，提出四川南向通道建设的必要性和迫切性，进一步探讨建设川南通道的方案和通道引入相关枢纽及地区的改扩建方案。 研究方法：采用系统工程方法，从西南片区铁路路网的特点分析，逐一分析出川通道的规划和发展；采用技术经济比较法对南向通道方案进行比较论证。 研究结果：在西南片区形成沟通广东广西地区的一条新路网，有利于西南路网布局及发展；带动相关地区社会经济发展；为相关枢纽总图布置特别是成都枢纽客运站布局提供合理的发展前景。 研究结论：四川南向通道宜采用沿成昆通道至峨眉，修建峨眉经宜宾、叙永至贵阳的双线大能力通道，经黔桂铁路至柳州，分别经湘桂线南下广西地区，经柳肇线可达广州及东南沿海地区；成都枢纽成都南站可作为川南通道客车的始发终到站；贵阳枢纽结合川南通道引入需新建枢纽内第二客运站。     

高速铁路无砟轨道路基质量控制指标研究

研究目的：高速铁路无砟轨道对路基的耐久性和刚度提出了更高的要求，为确保质量控制，中德都建立了一套相应的质量控制标准，这两种标准之间既有联系也有区别，开展中德路基质量控制指标对应关系的研究，可以借鉴国外比较成熟的经验，尽快完善适合中国国情的路基质量控制标准。研究方法：首先从理论上对中德高速铁路无砟轨道路基填筑质量控制标准的指标进行了对比和分析，指出了2种标准之间的联系以及不同之处；再结合路基填筑实例，分别采用中德两种规范进行相关试验，建立了该试验条件下的中德规范指标之间的对应关系。研究结果：中国标准中用统一的孔隙率值来控制中、粗粒土的压实质量有待进一步研究。研究结论：对具体的填料，应通过相应的击实试验确定与密实度控制指标对应的孔隙率值；采用Ev2／Ev1比值可用于间接验证填料达到的密实度；如和Ev1之间存在良好的相关关系。

Organic carbon budget for the Gulf of Bothnia

We calculated input of organic carbon to the unproductive, brackish water basin of the Gulf of Bothnia from rivers, point sources and the atmosphere. We also calculated the net exchange of organic carbon between the Gulf of Bothnia and the adjacent marine system, the Baltic Proper. We compared the input with sinks for organic carbon; permanent incorporation in sediments and mineralization and subsequent evasion of CO₂ to the atmosphere. The major fluxes were riverine input (1500 Gg C year^− 1), exchange with the Baltic Proper (depending on which of several possible DOC concentration differences between the basins that was used in the calculation, the flux varied between an outflow of 466 and an input of 950 Gg C year^− 1), sediment burial (1100 Gg C year^− 1) and evasion to the atmosphere (3610 Gg C year^− 1). The largest single net flux was the emission of CO₂ to the atmosphere, mainly caused by bacterial mineralization of organic carbon. Input and output did not match in our budget which we ascribe uncertainties in the calculation of the exchange of organic carbon between the Gulf of Bothnia and the Baltic Proper, and the fact that CO₂ emission, which in our calculation represented 1 year (2002) may have been overestimated in comparison with long-term means. We conclude that net heterotrophy of the Gulf of Bothnia was due to input of organic carbon from both the catchment and from the Baltic Proper and that the future degree of net heterotrophy will be sensible to both catchment export of organic carbon and to the ongoing eutrophication of the Baltic Proper.     

The association of the population recruitment of gulf menhaden, Brevoortia patronus, with Mississippi River discharge

Gulf menhaden, Brevoortia patronus, which constitutes a major industrial reduction fishery in the USA, spawn across the northern Gulf of Mexico with a focus of spawning about the Mississippi Delta. This species is estuarine dependent; adults spawn over the continental shelf and their larvae are transported, by mechanisms that are presently not well understood, to estuarine nursery areas. Larval gulf menhaden, along with some other surface oriented larval fishes, appear to aggregate along the Mississippi River plume front, while evidence of the ecological consequences of this aggregation in terms of the feeding, growth, and survival of larvae is ambiguous. On an annual scale, Mississippi River discharge is negatively associated with numbers of half year old recruits. Discharge of the Mississippi River and the population recruitment of gulf menhaden may be plausibly linked through the action of the river's plume and its front on the shoreward transport of larvae. Greater river discharge results in an expansive plume that might project larvae farther offshore and prolong the shoreward transport of larvae. An indirect, decadal scale, positive response of recruitment and river discharge is possible, but not certain. Recruitment became elevated after 1975 when river discharge increased and became highly variable. This response might owe to enhanced primary and secondary production driven by nutrient influx from the Mississippi River.
