To enhance the quality of transportation planning and policy making, it is necessary to properly deal with the nonresponse issues in transport surveys. However, such nonresponse issues especially in developing countries have been ignored in literature. This paper first statistically identifies the missing patterns of item nonresponse (INR) in person trip survey data collected in developing cities...
A dynamic visual cognition experiment was carried out in driving simulation barn with eye tracker system to get drivers' eye movement parameters when they were reading traffic signs with various information quantities in different speeds. The eye movement parameters include fixation number and duration. Driver's visual area was divided into three areas using dynamic cluster method. Further analysis...
The railway network carrying reliability refers to the carrying capacity meeting the OD demand which consciously changed with random and irresistible factors under prescribed conditions and stated time. Based on reviewing the domestic and international achievement of carrying capacity reliability research and analyzing the characteristics of railway transportation, the paper presents the definition...
Quantitative study on the travel costs of urban transit passengers has great significance for scientifically evaluating social benefits of public transportation system. Analysis of travel time values is one of the most important parts of traveler's travel cost estimation. According to the stated preference (SP) survey data for Beijing residents, factors that influence public transport values of travel...
Because of the complex influencing factors, the research on transportation structure usually based on a simple combination of qualitative analysis and ratio-based relation, which lacks of objective quantitative evaluation. The paper applies the information entropy theory to quantitatively study the evolution and development law for regional transportation structure. First, the transport structure...
Previous researches in activities-decision have more in-depth study in context of individuals, while less work has been done within household activity decisions. The structural equation model is applied to analyze the relationship of three household activity categories on holiday using data from 2009 Jinan travel survey. Six attributes were first chosen as exogenous variables for the structural equation...
As an important place of pedestrian activities, the air quality of urban street is closely related to the human health, and the effects of air pollutants on human health have a close contact with the actual level of exposure. According to the concept of exposure, the paper analyzes the process of the exhaust pollutants from vehicles to pedestrians and the influencing factors under the urban traffic...
Transit quality service is an important factor that affects the bus split rate. This paper studies the passenger's preference of the bus service with the conjoint analysis. Through the actual survey and data analysis, the utility values of the reliability, frequency, walking time, etc. are measured. And the attributes' weights are determined through the utility values. The results show that the bus...
For the purpose of improving traffic signal control at over-saturated intersection group, the traffic control targets and structure were optimized, and an implementation framework was proposed. After analyzing the congestion inducements, the maximum throughput and minimum average queue of critical route were selected as the optimization objectives. The critical route layer was added to optimize control...
With background of railway transportation pattern in China, the railway section signalling model is developed based on quasi-moving block. The model uses traction calculation and signalling layout principle and considers orbit code sequence, ocs mast position, and electrical sectioning position, etc. The heuristic simulation algorithm is designed for model solution. With the goal of the minimum signalling...
