Since the beginning of the century, many cities around the world adopt the bus rapid transit (BRT) system to fulfill their need of mass transportation system. The system features with platform-level boarding, bus lanes in the central verge of the road, off-vehicle fare collection, and physically protected busway. So far, these criteria are considered to be the most important aspects with respec...

The Last Mile Problem (LMP) refers to the provision of travel service from the nearest public transportation node to a home or office. We study the supply side of this problem in a stochastic setting, with batch demands resulting from the arrival of groups of passengers who request last-mile service at urban rail stations or bus stops. Closedform approximations are derived for the performance o...

Improving the performance of power systems has become a challenging task for system operators in an open access environment. This paper presents an optimization approach for solving the multi-objective scheduling problem using a modified non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm in a hybrid network of meshed alternating current (AC)/wind farm grids. This approach considers voltage and power contr...

For intercity highway with many branches, the video data for each monitoring node is very large and it is unlikely to fuse these data without time synchronization. In this paper an object-based video reconstruction approach is presented for route-oriented tasks of intercity highway monitoring with many branches using low cost distributed video capturing devices installed on the roadside posts. ...

Abstract With the maturity of big data technology, analyzing residents’ travel habits and tracks has become an important research direction in field intelligent transportation study. In this paper, based on subway bus ride data, a subway-bus double-layer network model was established using complex theory, taking optimal traffic efficiency as goal, structure optimization method is proposed, empi...

Inadequacy and inefficiency of public bus transport as a mode transfer at railway stations has led passengers to switch other modes reach their destinations. This increased traffic congestion on urban roads heavy economic cost society.The main objective this study is identify the factors influencing improvement transferability Bambalapitiya Railway station. considered sixteen attributes quality...

A The concept of information, known as information expansion, has been at the forefront in terms needs societies from past to present. Recently, especially with development technological facilities, importance design systems increased considerably. Information and guidance elements exist every field social use, enabling transfer information; It is an important element providing interaction for ...

T get to the maternal and child health station in Mahamadia, a Moslem Arab village, you alight from the bus at the foot of Mount Tabor, slide down a hill, and find yourself in a courtyard with children and sheep. Bahija, the practical nurse, greets you and laughs as she tells of the Jewish paediatrician who, because of religious tenets forbidding touching a strange woman, refused to take her he...
