Ten years of the China migrants dynamic survey: retrospective and prospects

This paper reviews the background of China’s decision to launch the“China Migrants Dynamic Survey”(CMDS),and examines the ideas and characteristics of CMDSs carried out annually from 2009 through 2018.The paper considers such aspects as project design,questionnaire design,sampling design,and survey imple-mentation,and summarizes why it is necessary to carry out CMDS and the survey’s performance.Based on the need for information that drives migration surveys and research in the new era,and taking into account the experience gained from previous surveys,this paper attempts to set forth several issues that need to be taken into con-sideration in the design and implementation of future surveys of migrants.

Field of vertical crustal deformation in North China and the feature of its dynamic evolution

Based on the data of precise leveling surveys for 30-odd years and using unified adjustment method unified starting point of calculation and unified network,contour maps of the vertical crustal deformation rate in North China during the periods of 1965-1975,1975-1979,1979-1983 and 1983 1988 have been drawn.Meanwhile,the evolution of vertical crustal deformations has also been studied from a dynamic viewpoint. The results of analysis show that there is an obvious correspondence between the regular variations of the vertical crustal deformation field and the seismic cycles.Furthermore,the paper has also inferred that this correspondence might be related to the micro-variations of the regional stress/strain field. Finally,some problems related to the vertical deformation field and earthquake prediction have been discussed.

A GPS-Based Digital Dynamics Study of the Rugby World Cup 2019 Spectators

This study’s dynamic survey of spectators at the HRS(Hanazono Rugby Stadium)in HOC(Higashi Osaka City)during the 2019 RWC(Rugby World Cup)tournament used location information big data to analyze nine items,including spectator attributes-60 min or more stay in HOC(excluding residents),more than 15 min stay in the HRS on match days(besides,the days before and after the match).To compare spectators,visitors to HOC during the matches were added to the target group.The results show that the RWC attracted a high number of male visitors aged 20,40,and 50 years,mainly from the Kinki region,whose stopovers inside and outside the region were limited to Osaka City.Stopovers in tourist areas unrelated to the RWC were few,partly because it was possible to undertake a day trip solely to watch the game without any stopovers.

Network level pavement evaluation with 1 mm 3D survey system

The latest iteration of PaveVision3D Ultra can obtain true 1 mm resolution 3D data at full- lane coverage in all 3 directions at highway speed up to 60 mph. This paper introduces the PaveVision3D Ultra technology for rapid network level pavement survey on approximately 1280 center miles of Oklahoma interstate highways. With sophisticated automated distress analyzer （ADA） software interface, the collected 1 mm 3D data provide Oklahoma Department of Transportation （ODOT） with comprehensive solutions for automated eval- uation of pavement surface including longitudinal profile for roughness, transverse profile for rutting, predicted hydroplaning speed for safety analysis, and cracking and various surface defects for distresses. The pruned exact linear time （PELT） method, an optimal partitioning algorithm, is implemented to identify change points and dynamically deter- mine homogeneous segments so as to assist ODOT effectively using the available 1 mm 3D pavement surface condition data for decision-making. The application of 1 mm 3D laser imaging technology for network survey is unprecedented. This innovative technology allows highway agencies to access its options in using the 1 mm 3D system for its design and management purposes, particularly to meet the data needs for pavement management system （PMS）, pavement ME design and highway performance monitoring system （HPMS）.
