Given the security problems of the urban rail transportation, this paper proposes a methodology for congestion risk evaluation and precaution in order to guarantee the safety of passengers and improve the operation efficiency in metro stations. To begin with, we selected the retention rate of the platform, the waiting rate of the ticket gate and the transfer efficiency as the indexes for the st...

In the paper, at first, South-West Baltic Sea environmental and transportation conditions are described. Then a present situation in the passenger and vehicle transportation is overviewed based on the situation of Polish and foreign ferry companies. The techno-economical considerations for the passenger/car ferry for Szczecin-Malmoe route are later discussed. Then main particulars of various cr...

The objective is to increase the passenger road transportation safety by developing an improved model of transport process with minimal risks incidents. Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM) was used determine factors influencing reliability transportation, which based on study functions six different aspects: time, control, output, resource, prerequisites, and input. It clarified that ma...

Recently, considerable attention has been focused on the performance of various airlines and air carriers in terms of efficiency. Although it is obvious that air carriers use airports, few studies have focused on airport operational efficiency. This empirical study evaluates the operational efficiencies of 44 major U.S. airports using data envelopment analysis and some of its recent development...

Track Maintenance is crucial for the safe and efficient of railway transportation. After analysis of foreign management techniques for high-speed railway track maintenance, combined with the characteristic of passenger dedicated line in China, this paper has explored new ideas of the information system of passenger dedicated line track maintenance and at the same time researched on the theory a...

Passenger flow safety detection in high-speed railway transport hub is considered in this paper. For accurately detecting the passenger flow safety, an improved watershed algorithm and a recognition algorithm are respectively proposed in sensor-based detection process. Computational experiments on sensor data from a specific Chinese high-speed railway transport hub show that the proposed algori...
