In this paper, carbon emissions of a monorail transit are calculated using the method whole life cycle, which can be divided into four stages: material manufacturing stage, construction operation stage and demolition stage. phase, units PKT (Passenger Kilometers Travelled) VKT (Vehicle Travelled), while in other three stages, unit is 1 km. The results show that from 1km length 6271.204 tons. ad...

An intermodal transportation terminal is a facility that provides commuters with easy transfer between many transit modes and providers such as buses, light rail, subway, taxis, airport shuttles, and commuter rails. The probability of a passenger transferring from one mode to another and the estimation of total transfer demand are of great importance to both practitioners and researchers when d...

BACKGROUND As a basis for preventive strategies to reduce subway suicides, an investigation was undertaken to determine if there was a distinct pattern of subway suicidal behaviour. METHODS Data were taken from the Municipal Munich Subway System case registry (southern Germany) for all suicidal incidents on the track: purposely inflicted; date, time and location of incident, sex of victim, ou...

The prevention and treatment of epidemic is always an urgent problem faced by the human being. Due to the special space structure, huge passenger flow and great people mobility, the subway lines have become the areas with high epidemic transmission risks. However, there is no recent study related to epidemic transmission in the subway network on urban-scale. In this article, from the perspectiv...

Light transportation systems are not new proposals since their utilization started at dawn of electric energy spreading at industrial level. The light transportation systems class includes tramways, urban and subway metro-systems as well as trolley buses. These systems are intrinsically characterized by low investment costs and high quality service in terms of environmental impact and energy ef...

With the expansion of cities and ever-increasing traffic dilemma closely connected to people’s lives, public transportation has become one the essential needs of communities. Subway because of its benefits is an important part of our lives: alleviating urban transit pressure, high safety and reliability, mass transit capacity, low energy consumption, and low price. Therefore, its performance im...

Travel Mode Identification with Smartphone Sensors by Xing Su Advisor: Hanghang Tong Personal trips in a modern urban society typically involve multiple travel modes. Recognizing a traveller’s transportation mode is not only critical to personal context-awareness in related applications, but also essential to urban traffic operations, transportation planning, and facility design. While the stat...

Data collected by Automated Fare Collection (AFC) systems are a valuable resource for studying the travel habits of large city inhabitants. In this paper, we present an approach to mining the temporal behavior of the passengers in a public transportation system in order to extract relevant and easily interpretable clusters. Such classification can be useful for several applications. It may help...
