چکیده

We propose a model for disorderly streetcar routes. Through simulations and comparisons to real data, we illustrate that such routes may sometimes become supersaturated, in the sense that forward and backward waiting times become positively correlated.

Noise exposure while commuting in Toronto - a study of personal and public transportation in Toronto

BACKGROUND With an increasing proportion of the population living in cities, mass transportation has been rapidly expanding to facilitate the demand, yet there is a concern that mass transit has the potential to result in excessive exposure to noise, and subsequently noise-induced hearing loss. METHODS Noise dosimetry was used to measure time-integrated noise levels in a representative sample...

How streetcars shaped suburbanization: a Granger causality analysis of land use and transit in the Twin Cities

This article presents a Granger causality analysis of the coupled development of population and streetcars in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St Paul Historic residence and network data were assembled for 1900–1930, and linear crosssectional time-series models were estimated at both a tract and block level using these data. It is found that, in contrast with transportation systems that were ...

Routing automated guided vehicles in container terminals through the Q-learning technique

This paper suggests a routing method for automated guided vehicles in port terminals that uses the Q-learning technique. One of the most important issues for the efficient operation of an automated guided vehicle system is to find shortest routes for the vehicles. In this paper, we determine shortest-time routes inclusive of the expected waiting times instead of simple shortest-distance routes,...

Bicycling crashes on streetcar (tram) or train tracks: mixed methods to identify prevention measures

BACKGROUND Streetcar or train tracks in urban areas are difficult for bicyclists to negotiate and are a cause of crashes and injuries. This study used mixed methods to identify measures to prevent such crashes, by examining track-related crashes that resulted in injuries to cyclists, and obtaining information from the local transit agency and bike shops. METHODS We compared personal, trip, an...
