AbstractThis study proposes a generic metro timetable rescheduling method for the minimization of capacity loss that integrates spatial and temporal information on random line disruptions time-varying characteristics passenger flows. The proposed emergency operating rules can be immediately deployed after disruption using one crossover track. spatiotemporal current state are integrated into management (MDM) model, which considers deviated from original schedule number stranded passengers as...

Station-catchment-area delineation is a key component of direct ridership models for urban rail-transport systems as it can determine the relationship between urban-rail-transit station-level and variables within station catchment area. The neglect differences in passenger-flow distribution different travel purposes previous studies has led to low accuracy obtained walk-to-station distances. Therefore, this paper proposes station-catchment-area method which based on web map data obtain...

A model-free approach is presented, based on the Monte Carlo tree search (MCTS) algorithm, for control of mixed traffic flow human-driven vehicles (HDV) and connected autonomous (CAV), named MCTS-MTF, a one-lane roadway with signalized intersection control. Previous research has often simplified problem certain assumptions to reduce computational burden, such as dividing vehicle trajectory into several segments constant speed or linear acceleration/deceleration, which was rather unrealistic....

With increase aggregates resistance decreases. Recycled with lower water cement demonstrates better performance It is advised less than 30% admixture

Objectives Transformation of normal mucosa to colorectal adenoma could occur over a span 5 20 years, whereas transformation cancer take an additional 15 years. This study aims investigate whether chicken skin (CSM) surrounding adult adenomas may be risk factor for carcinogenesis. Methods Patients with mucosa, without CSM, or CSM were enrolled in this study.

Existing techniques for estimation of subway station-level long-term peak-hour ridership (PHR) may produce underestimated PHR values that result in stations being designed with insufficient capacity during the planning stage; this turn increase congestion on platforms actual operation. One reasons potential undesirable outcome is peak deviation phenomena often arise between and lines systems, which could create values. The default assumption has always been hour passenger flow each station...

The assessment of the resilience Urban Rail Transit Networks (URTNs) and analysis their evolutionary characteristics during network growth can help in design efficient, safe, sustainable networks.

As for existing studies, they rarely consider entire cycle accident occurrence repair; furthermore, ignore changes transportation performance emergencies. Moreover, measurement metrics important nodes not comprehensively...

Prediction of the extra-peak hourly ridership (EPHR) is directly related to capacity design subway station service facilities. In traditional station-level EPHR prediction process, predicted value simply result multiplication peak (PHR) by a unified hour factor (EPHF). However, this method may be underestimated because PHR results are extracted from line-level value, rather than value. Moreover, while existing EPHF always determined China's Code for Design Metro, it too simple and unrefined...

With the development of urban rail transit network (URTN), structure and performance have changed, node importance has also been redistributed. However, little research done on how hub nodes change as develops over a lengthy period. Moreover, most identification methods only focus analysis topological networks or single-dimension measurements, resulting in inaccurate results. To overcome above limitations, novel method is proposed. Based ridership-weighted model, centrality reliability are...
