The objective of this study is to analyse characteristics of Pedestrian Interactive Behaviours (PIBs) in order to propose a revised pedestrian walkway Level of Service (LOS) in China. Field data on overtaking and evasive behaviours were collected at a metro station walkway in Shanghai, China to calculate macro and micro indicators. Occurrence intensities of these two PIBs initially increased wi...

OBJECTIVE To compare the concurrent validity and reliability of the GAITRite computerized gait analysis system with validated paper-and-pencil and video-based methods. DESIGN Within-groups, repeated-measures design. SETTING Research laboratory in a physical therapy education program. PARTICIPANT One healthy woman, age 27 years. INTERVENTIONS A subject walked across the walkway of the GA...

Recent researches proved that the underbridge geometry can be reconstructed by 11 mounting a 3D laser scanner on a motorized cart travelling on a walkway located under the bridge. 12 The walkway is moved by a truck and the accuracy of the bridge model depends on the accuracy of 13 the trajectory of the scanning head with respect to a fixed reference system. In this paper, we 14 describe the met...

For a long time basic accommodation capacities represented the dominant type of accommodation in tourist offer, while at the same time complementary accommodation capacities were neglected. However, recently there has been a growing interest for complementary, substitute types of tourist accommodation, both in the Republic of Croatia and in Dubrovnik, where since 2000 a significant increase of ...

A friend of mine This paper is dedicated to the memory of Franco Montagna. Franco was a dear friend of mine. I guess that, among the people who took part in the Conference in memoriam Franco Montagna, I am the person who has known him for the longest time: we were students together at the university of Pavia in the late Sixties. For our "tesi di laurea", in the early Seventies we went to Ferrar...

A modern tourist product, which is adjusted to the needs of new tourists no longer includes a tourist partnership role, but individualisation and personalisation of the experience itself. Should such a base be accepted, it is to be concluded that traditional positioning of destination tourist offers on both macro and micro levels is no longer sufficient, i.e. positioning based on comparative ad...

The tourist trip design problem (TTDP) refers to a route-planning problem for tourists interested in visiting multiple points of interest (POIs). TTDP solvers derive daily tourist tours, i.e., ordered visits to POIs, which respect tourist constraints and POIs attributes. The main objective of the problem discussed is to select POIs that match tourist preferences, thereby maximizing tourist sati...

Volatility in monthly international tourist arrivals is defined as the squared deviation from mean monthly international tourist arrivals. Consequently, volatility is directly related to the standard deviation, which is a common measure of financial risk. Fluctuating variations, or conditional volatility, in international monthly tourist arrivals are typically associated with unanticipated even...
