Dedicating two lanes and passenger platforms to transit typically requires taking the same space away from general use. This may affect public support. This paper proposes efficient geometric configurations for a two-dedicated-lane BRT or light rail system that requires a minimum amount of right-of-way along a busy commute arterial. In many current busy commute corridors, a significant part of ...

Three boys meeting multiple criteria of hyperactivity were trained to emit ten specific relaxed behaviors by means of Behavioral Relaxation Training (BRT). Dependent measures included the Behavioral Relaxation Scale (BRS), frontalis electromyogram (EMG), the Conners Parent Symptom Questionnaire, and self-report. A multiple-probe design across subjects was employed, plus a reversal between recli...

While rail has been the focus of most planning for Transit Oriented Development (TOD), there has been recent interest in bus-related TOD with an emphasis on new bus rapid transit (BRT) systems in North and South America and Australia. This article takes a critical look at the strengths and challenges of bus-based transit systems compared to rail in relation to TOD. It includes a review of the l...

This Data in Brief (DiB) article presents a hierarchical multiple linear regression model that examine the associations between psychosocial work factors and risk behaviors at the wheel in Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) drivers (n=524). The data were collected using a structured self-administrable questionnaire made of measurements of wok stress (job strain and effort- reward imbalance), fatigue (need...

Bus rapid transit (BRT) is one of most effective methods to optimize urban traffic. Transit signal priority (TSP) is very important to increase the efficiency of BRT. TSP provides priority signals for public transport vehicles based on the advanced inspection and communication system. In this paper, TSP control system is designed with wireless sensor networks, which can support real-time inform...

This study examines the effects of respiratory muscle feedback and breathing retraining (BRT) on lung function in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Twenty-six patients with CF were matched for age and severity of disease. Standard respiratory spirometry was performed on all subjects before and after biofeedback training. Thirteen experimental subjects underwent eight sessions of pneumographic...

Given the rapid development of financial technology, off-balance-sheet business innovations banks may potentially impact bank risk-taking. This issue is great importance to commercial and regulators. paper analyzed relationship between innovation (OBI) Bank Risk-Taking (BRT) in Chinese banks, as well mediation role Agency Cost (BAC), a bank’s Internal Control Quality (ICQ) on this relationship,...

The aim of this paper is to improve the knowledge collaborative challenges when planning and implementing Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). Collaborative are here understood as barriers that may arise in BRT implementation a consequence several formally independent actors, occasionally with different interests, participating planning. results based on an analysis actor interactions Swedish projects.
