Urban subways have developed rapidly in recent years and has gradually become the primary choice of public transportation big cities. Subways can effectively alleviate urban traffic congestion improve passengers’ green travel experience, especially old areas where space is limited, community facilities are aging historical features gathered. play a huge role guiding expansion form improving lan...

Railway service is now the major transportation means in most of the countries around the world. With the increasing population and expanding commercial and industrial activities, a high quality of railway service is the most desirable. Dwell time control at stations and fixed coasting point in an inter-station run are the current practices to maintain the train service in most metro railway sy...

Traffic-related pollutants have been reported to increase the morbidity of respiratory diseases. In order to apply management policies related to motor vehicles, studies of the floating population living in cities are important. The rate of metro rail transit system use by passengers residing in Seoul is about 54% of total public transportation use. Through the rate of metro use, the people-flo...

ADVISOR is an automated visual surveillance system for metro stations which was developed as part of the project ADVISOR, involving 3 academic and 3 industrial project partners. The ADVISOR system aims at making public transport safer by automatically detecting at an early stage dangerous situations which may lead to accidents, violence or vandalism. In order to achieve this people are tracked ...

In 2014, more than 43 cities in China were racing to construct their urban rail systems (including metro and light rail systems), recognizing that an urban rail system will be a good solution to the tough problems that they are faced with, including traffic congestion and PM2.5 air pollution. On 22 August 2012, the first electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC) energy storage-type rail vehicle in...

To understand the determinants of transportation mode choice travelers around metro stations, more and built environment attributes have been studied shown significant results. This study focuses on impacts street-scale stations. 754 trips stemming from 309 respondents were collected Yingkoudao station in Tianjin, China. A multinomial logit model was estimated to predict to/from area as a funct...

Accurate metro ridership prediction can guide passengers in efficiently selecting their departure time and simultaneously help traffic operators develop a passenger organization strategy. However, short-term flow needs to consider many factors, the results of existing models for subway forecasting are often unsatisfactory. Along this line, we propose parallel architecture, called seasonal nonli...
