On-line journey planners encourage the use of public transport systems by easing the task of finding “optimal” routes between start and destination locations. Most of the tools lack the flexibility of comparing journeys that end at different (but maybe nearby) destinations. In this paper, we propose a novel visualization tool for public transport journey planning that integrates graph layout te...

Anycasting becomes an important research topic recently especially for the replicated servers where availability and fault-tolerance are critical for quality of service. With anycasting, applications can request the “nearest” server for provision of a desired services. In this paper, we study efficient Admission Control for Anycast (ACA) flows. We focus on algorithms that perform smart destinat...

The rapid development of technologies introduces smartness to all organisations and communities. The Smart Tourism Destinations (STD) concept emerges from the development of Smart Cities. With technology being embedded on all organisations and entities, destinations will exploit synergies between ubiquitous sensing technology and their social components to support the enrichment of tourist expe...

This paper discusses the role of parameters negotiated and used for ow control in the ATM ABR service, and gives guidelines for setting each parameter. The e ect of the speed of the links on the path from the source to the destination, and the round trip time of the connection, on the ABR parameter values is discussed. We also give simulation results to illustrate the e ect of various parameter...

The objective here is to evaluate the intra-and inter-vehicle variability in realworld light-duty gasoline vehicle emissions and assess implications for development of onroad vehicle emission inventories. A field study was conducted to characterize variability for selected vehicles for both total emissions and emission rates by routes, time of day, road grade, and among vehicles. Real-world dat...

2 ABSTRACT The quantification of the freight movements occurring in each traffic zone disaggregated by supply chain and of the corresponding Origin-Destination trip tables connected with the urban delivery of goods, is essential to evaluate the effects of any city logistic policy in terms of vehicle congestion and polluting emissions, based on the assignment of truck flows to the road network. ...

In this study, 28 participants with little geographic knowledge of the destination were asked to plan a week-long trip to China online. The participants were asked to create a detailed seven day itinerary outline with activities or attractions they would like to participate in or visit, as well as restaurants in which they would like to dine. The participants were given a computer with Internet...

The professionalization of tourism education through experiential learning by fieldwork should be a key aspect sustainable development strategies. Based on the previous statement, aim this research is to develop experience an academic field trip in Copper Canyon, with purpose generating practical situation that serves as strategy and practice sustainability syllabus Tourism Planning at Autonomo...

This article provides an overview of Performance Analysis of Round Trip Time (RTT) in Narrowband RF Networks for remote wireless communications using narrow band radios modem &Routers ((RipEX unit) ,as a means of transmission to communicate between the loins broadcast sites TV/FM. RTT delay measurement is influenced by different parameters of Narrowband RF Networks. We illustrate, in this paper...

This paper examines the determinants of the length of stay of tourists in the Azores. It is found that socio-demographic profiles, such as nationality and Azorean ascendancy, and trip attributes, such as repeat visitation rates and type of flight, are important determinants. In addition, destination image and attitudes regarding environmental initiatives, constructed from a factor analysis exer...
