This paper uses GMDH method to establish a prediction model to forecast the vehicles for business transport of Guangxi in China, since the original samples of the output value of transport & storage of Guangdong are less enough to be used with the traditional methods. Compared with traditional linear regression and artificial neural network, the predicted results show that GMDH method is an effective...

Infrastructure investment decisions consider future infrastructure demand projections from freight models, the quality of which depends on fidelity of input freight data. The Freight Analysis Framework Version 2.2 (FAF2.2) being a primary source of freight data for infrastructure planning provides commodity origin-destination flows for 114 zones within the USA. Freight disaggregation approaches using...
With the rapid development of new theories and technologies, especially AI, data mining and emerging communication technologies, both data collection and smart data analysis have provided new approaches for the development and improvement of ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems). This paper proposed an IEB-oriented ITS Model which combined data mining with 3S (RS, GIS, GPS) Technologies to help...
Studied the spiral development process of data warehouse based on the multimodal transport system, took typical multimodal transport station as an example, constructed data warehouse system which integrated transport modes, conveyances and process information to reflect the whole data warehouse. Carried out on-line analysis and data mining to extract important clients and to solve the shortest route...
In order to analyze the effect of typical public events on the urban traffic behaviors, this paper firstly studied the factors of traffic mode choice and their interaction at macroscopic and microcosmic angles. Then according to the traffic characteristic and scope of public events, a disaggregate model of traffic mode choice was set up. Finally, the model was applied in the case of split ratio forecast...
This research is designed for manufacturing companies with sparse transportation networks to evaluate the strategic possibility of private shipment consolidation, to screen a network for opportunities to implement consolidation policies, and to optimizes the network design to maximize the amount of transportation cost savings. The proposed mathematical models and solution methodologies determine the...
The cross-entropy (CE) method is a new generic approach to combinatorial and multi-extremal optimization and rare event simulation. Vehicle Routing Problem has been approved a NP problem and it belongs to classical Combination Optimization hard problem. An effective algorithm based on cross-entropy is designed to solve the model which named Vehicle Routing Problem with Weight Coefficients and Stochastic...
In this paper, we develop a novel multi-echelon joint inventory-location problem that considers location and inventory decisions simultaneously. The model deals with the distribution of a single commodity from a single manufacturer to a set of retailers through a set of sites where distribution centers can be located. The retailers face deterministic demand and hold working inventory. We assume single...
The transport mode and transport path in the multimodal transport have an effect on the benefits of the carriers and customers. According to feature in the relationship between the transport mode selection and the transport path optimization, a integrated model which can be used to select the transport mode and optimize the transport path synthetically was proposed to fit the diversification of the...
Mobility of persons and goods currently represents an interesting field of application for innovative ICT tool as Radio Frequency Technology (RFID). RFID technology is increasingly spreading in logistics activities, such as warehouse management, supply chain traceability. RFID could support an automatic vehicle and person identification system by reduced investment costs. In the present paper, authors...
This paper shows how designers use Shape Grammar to create shape and form in tractable manner. The Shape Grammar was developed in an article by Georgy Stiny and James Gips in 1970. Using the approach of Shape Grammar can generate large design solution spaces and get a lot of possible results. The parametric shape grammar provides an effective way to extend design ideas in the process of transportation...
In the system of urban public transportation, the primary contradiction is contest with service object between convention public buses and urban rail transit at present. The analysis of this study is based on the passenger trip cost, and the ecological niche character of convention public buses and urban rail transit are studied. The passenger trip cost function has been formulated and construct the...
Almost existence literature about the inefficiency in traffic assignment assumes user is entirely selfishness. In this paper, assumed the users are not entirely selfishness, they are partially altruistic. The user’s perceived cost assumed to be a linear combination of selfish component and altruistic component. A variational inequality model is present to formulate the uniformly altruistic route choice...
This paper describes a model for capturing service designs and the design of service product lines. The model promotes reuse of service artifacts, enables a balanced view of the service from different stakeholder viewpoints, and provides a foundation for design for service quality. The model leverages a phased approach to design, engineering and management of services. The model has applicability...
We focus on bus transport networks (BTNs), because buses are the main public transportation tool in China. In this paper, we present the empirical investigation results on the urban bus transport networks (BTNs) of four major cities in middle China. In BTNs, nodes are bus stops. Two nodes are connected by an edge when the stops are serviced by a common bus route. Comparing with the developed cities...
A multi-stage cooperation and competition model based on flexibility in port service supply chain consisting of a port enterprise and two service providers (SP) is built, using Stackelberg model and Cournot model. Flexibility in port service supply chain is studied. The influence factors of port enterprise's flexibility strategy and SP's flexibility strategy, relationship of port enterprise's flexibility...
With the development of economy and society, there will be more and more planned special events held in every cities, which will directly bring severe challenge to the system of city traffic. Planned special events will bring about multitudinous people and vehicles at small area in a short time, especially under the condition that parking lot supply can not meet the demand. Superfluous cars can be...
Following the studies of human decision making under risk and uncertainty, traffic scientists had applied prospect theory to route choice modeling, and studied prospect value user equilibrium. But most papers focused on that the travelers choose route one by one basing on prospect theory, did not study collective effect of simultaneous route choice. The paper analyzed the influence factors on travel...
With the people's attention to the product quality and the environmental protection consciousness enhancement, the reverse logistics start to cause continuously attention of people. More and more scholars research the origin, the concept, the classification of the reverse logistics. At present there are some researches of the reverse logistics, however, these researches are restricted only in the...
