Due to the huge vehicle-track-under rail foundation-earth coupling system, prediction and evaluation of environmental vibration caused by transit are subject analysis efficiency for a long time. Whether it is test or theoretical simulation, research object often limited specific sensitive points. However, scientific accurate urban planning requires that global. Referring noise map technology, t...

Over the past 25 years, maintenance processes for wooden sleeper turnouts of floating tracks (known as STEDEF) have been insufficient, lacking accurate history and failure cause analyses. Currently, damaged parts are repeatedly replaced without an analysis their failure. Therefore, it has difficult to predict potential damages due lack data on items timing turnout component. This study proposes...

magnetic levitation (maglev) is amongst the most advanced technologies that are available to the transportation industries. it has already been noticed by decision makers in many countries around the globe. contrary to such high levels of interest, there are no practical algorithms available to the engineers and/or managers to assist them in analyzing economics of the maglev systems. therefore,...

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 paper investigates the impacts of Taipei Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system on household car ownership and analyses how socioeconomic characteristics affect household car ownership. We employ a difference-in-difference (DID) strategy integrated with generalized Poisson regression models to examine the effects of MRT. The results are as follows: first, the establishment of Taipei MRT significa...

DM, diabetes mellitus; HbA1C, hemoglobin A1C; BM, bowel movement. TO THE EDITOR: I read with interest the study by Park et al regarding inhibitory effect of ramosetron on accelerated upper gastrointestinal (GI) transit of male guinea pigs. In the study, GI transit was assessed as the migration of charcoal mixture from the pylorus to the most distal point of migration and expressed as a percenta...

by xumei chen, lei yu, liu yu and jifu guo inTroducTion As an innovative public transport option, bus rapid transit (BRT) has been widely applied in recent years. Big cities in China are experiencing rapid motorization at an alarming rate. In such a situation, many cities in China have attempted to bring BRT into their transit systems to address urban transport problems. A wave of BRT planning ...
