Drawing on an ethnographic study of the installation and maintenance of Paris subway wayfinding system, this article attempts to discuss and specify previous claims that highlight stability and immutability as crucial aspects of material ordering processes. Though in designersʼ productions (guidelines, graphic manuals...), subway signs have been standardized and their consistency has been inves...

This study use noise and vibration analytical system to test and analyze the noise and vibration of subway station hall, draw the conclusion: analysis the noise test results when the vehicles through the subway station hall. The noise rises as the frequency increases, gets the peak value nearby 5000 Hz, the high of test point gives lesser influence to noise contribution. The vibration occurred ...

today’s transportation is known as one of the most important elements of urban development structure. public transportation, according to its more extensive functional capacity, can play a vital role in wider scale. transit oriented development by focusing on the subways is one of the special approaches in this field. recently, tehran public transport fleet has significantly improved especially...

In this study, the factors influencing choice of type urban railroad transportation in metropolitan areas Korea were analyzed. As populations are expanding, importance rail transportation, which has a high travel reliability terms time, increased, and various types systems have emerged accordingly. This study was focused on behavior travelers local express trains that use same track differ only...

Changes in travel modes used by people, particularly reduction of the private car use, is an important determinant of effectiveness of transportation plans. Because of dependencies between the choices of residential location and travel mode, integrated modeling of these choices has been proposed by some researchers. In this paper, an agent-based microsimulation model has been developed to evalu...

BACKGROUND Promoting daily routine activities, such as active commuting to school, may have important health implications for young people. PURPOSE The aim of the study was to examine the secular trend of active commuting to school in Spanish adolescents over a 6-year period (2001-2002 to 2006-2007). We also examined several factors that might explain this trend. METHODS Data comes from two...

Much of the research on data management for moving objects has assumed an outdoor setting in which objects move in Euclidean space (possibly constrained) or some form of spatial network and in which GPS or GPS-like positioning is assumed explicitly or implicitly. That body of research provides part of an enabling foundation for the growing Location-Based Services industry. However, we lead larg...

In this paper, the application layer communication protocol of CAN bus and the monitoring system for subway platform screen doors are proposed. The system framework is built, hardware of every function module for this system is selected, and the monitoring platform of epigynous machine is designed. On the basis of the above work the communication function of the monitoring system is realized, a...
