The need to gain a comprehensive understanding of road travelers’ choice mode and their perceptions using sustainable urban mobility modes have evolved shape the form future transport planning policymaking. To combat concern growing traffic congestion in Riyadh City, government Saudi Arabia designed introduced public project named “Riyadh Metro”. This study explores potential commuters’ percept...

Transit-oriented development has been widely studied in recent years as a means to reduce car trips and promote sustainable transport modes. However, longitudinal studies on the matter are still rare. This paper contributes research of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) effects travel behavior by analyzing evolution number after implementation light-rail metro system Porto region (Portugal). As...

Background: Alongside the dramatic increase of older adults in the United States (U.S.), it is projected that the aging population residing in rural areas will continue to grow. As the prevalence of chronic diseases and multiple chronic conditions among adults continues to rise, there is additional need for evidence-based interventions to assist the aging population to improve lifestyle behavio...

Short-term Origin-Destination (OD) flow prediction plays a major part in the realization of Smart Metro. It can help traffic managers implement dynamic control strategies to improve operation safety. Also, it assist passengers making reasonable travel plans passenger experience. However, there are problems that dimension OD short-term is much higher than base number metro stations and matrix sp...

Shield tunnels will inevitably pass through viaduct piles at a close distance due to the extensive construction of subways and viaducts in city. In order understand influence shield tunneling on deformation existing pile foundation grouting protection measures, based an engineering case, Changsha Metro Line 5 (from South Gaoqiao station Guitang station), three-dimensional finite element model w...

The automatic layout of metro maps has been investigated quite intensely over the last few years. Previous work has focused on the octilinear drawing style where edges are drawn horizontally, vertically, or diagonally at 45◦. Inspired by manually created curvy metro maps, we advocate the use of the curvilinear drawing style; we draw edges as Bézier curves. Since we forbid metro lines to bend (e...

Auto-discovery capabilities of management systems typically pertain to network elements as a whole, i.e., the ability to automatically detect which network elements are connected to a network and to discover their type and physical and logical configuration. Serviceand network-layer information, on the other hand, is in general not discovered but provisioned and provided by the organization ope...

Transit Oriented Development (TOD), as a widely practiced planning strategy toward urban sustainability, commonly refers to the integration of transport and land use in form an integrated transit station area surrounded by compact development high-quality walkable environment. Although policymakers are very enthusiastic about potential TOD boosting real estate market livable neighborhoods, how ...
