Rail transit is a significant measure for the comprehensive development of large cities, which influences land use patterns and spatial residential prices around rail. This study considered Beijing Metro Line 10 13 as examples, based on semi-logarithmic hedonic price model, combined with facility point-of-interest (POI) data unit transaction data, to how rail affects differentiation urban price...

Designing control for rail infrastructures is a challenging task. Many aspects influence the system performance and have to be taken into account, such as physical layout of the network, vehicle types, expected passenger movements, control system characteristics and safety measures. Control designers have to test different combination of these aspects, by varying the configuration possibilities...

July-August 2012 Imagine you fly home from vacation with your one-and-ahalf-year-old son who is traveling for free as a “lap child.” In the airport parking lot, you put him into his forwardfacing car seat, where he sits much more contentedly than he did in the rear-facing one that was mandatory until his first birthday. After he falls asleep on the way home, you transfer him to his crib without...

Public transit infrastructure may increase residential property values by improving accessibility and reducing commute expenses in urban areas. Prior studies have investigated the impacts of proximity to public transportation on obtained mixed conclusions. Many these were focused one mode for a single city. In this study, hedonic pricing model is constructed investigate commuter rail/Bus Rapid ...

This paper develops a flexible GIS-based methodology for evaluating the potential locations of terminal park-and-ride facilities along urban rail lines. The methodology differs from political-based approaches and traditional travel demand modeling in its use of an objective measure of accessibility to gage the suitability of a site. The methodology begins by constructing an index of derived dem...

The issue of shifting loads from road to rail is always vivid when it comes reducing CO2 emissions transport. Practically not every load transported by vehicles over a long distance can be transferred rail. Additionally, the potential railway lines limited, which means that network able accept huge amounts In article, attention was paid typology cargo susceptible changing article discusses fact...

This study investigates an unusual source of environmental lead contamination - the emission and deposition of lead and zinc concentrates along train lines into and out of Australia's oldest silver-lead-zinc mine at Broken Hill, Australia. Transport of lead and zinc ore concentrates from the Broken Hill mines has occurred for more than 125 years, during which time the majority was moved in unco...
