In the process of the optimum design of aprons, solutions should be found for problems and such issues as the optimum area and dimensions of the apron, including the passenger and the cargo the number and dimensions of the gates on the basis of different types of aircraft parking configuration aircraft simulation and arrangement in different time periods of the given day at the airport. In this...

The analysis of trends in the development passenger transportation Russia over past decades has been carried out. A significant decrease volume river transport was noted and reasons for this phenomenon are given. current state Volga basin is main carriers operating lines served by high-speed displacement vessels presented. It revealed that regular operate where routes can significantly reduce d...

We use data on air passenger travel expenditures per passenger as well as statistical analysis of the air traffic lost for the two-year aftermath of the September 11, 2001, attacks to estimate direct demand losses for air transportation services. These are used along with a national input-output model to assess the full costs of these losses. Depending on assumptions made, the full losses to th...

The widespread high-speed rail has become an important transportation mode for tourists in China, who travel primarily in groups. With more attractive price, railway operators may be able to expand ridership, improve customer satisfaction, and ultimately increase revenue. The traditional pricing method for passenger groups, however, is relatively simple, inflexible, which may lead to profit los...

In order to optimize the network layout of urban agglomerations, improve comprehensive benefits transportation networks and promote sustainable development this paper studies main trunk line selection model Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei high-speed railway (HSR). Firstly, characteristics cities in agglomeration are analyzed, economic capacity, passenger turnover nodes selected as evaluation indexes. A n...

Considerably less research has been done on modeling freight demand with disaggregate discrete models than on modeling passenger demand. The principal reason for this imbalance is the lack of freight demand data. Freight demand characteristics are expensive to obtain and are sometimes confidential. This paper analyzes the freight demand characteristics that drive modal choice by means of a larg...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to examine whether a persons' most frequently used mode of transportation is associated with life-space mobility and whether the association differs between persons with or without walking difficulties. METHOD Life-space mobility was measured with the Life-Space Assessment in 848 community-dwelling men and women aged 75 to 90 years. Six separate mobility gro...
