The modal split model is one of the steps of the classical four-step travel demand planning. Predictive, descriptive, and prescriptive modal split models are essential to make a balance between travel demand and supply. To calibrate these models, it is necessary to detect and employ influential independent variables that are related to characteristics of travel modes, individual and family attr...

Split-hom together structure is a new heavy load rack structure, and its reliability needs to be verified. Through analyzing multimodal hom-connection principle from the perspective of bionics and contact mechanics, the article puts forward three kinds of hom-connection methods and establishes the finite element model and mathematical model of the rack. Afterwards, the finite element model and ...

Congestion pricing is one of the major travel demand management policies to reduce traffic volumes in metropolitans. One of the main factors for effective implementation of this policy is to analyze users' response to different toll rates. In this paper, the willingness of users to pay for using their personal cars is evaluated. The stated preference method was applied for data gathering. Sever...

This paper contains a review of the literature on freight transport models, focussing on the types of models that have been developed since the nineties for forecasting, policy simulation and project evaluation at the national and international level. Models for production, attraction, distribution, modal split and assignment are discussed in the paper. Furthermore, the paper also includes a nu...

Using Fagin’s and Halpern’s local reasoning models and an epistemic variant of Jennings’s and Schotch’s semantics of weakly aggregative modal logic, we argue that the hypothesis that split-brain patients have two coherent minds is preferable to the hypothesis that they have one incoherent mind.
