The environmental ground vibration problem discussed herein occurs in a residential area near a monorail used for public transportation, Vibrations were measured on the ground at the side of monorail piers lacing the residential area and within the affected houses. Results indicate that the vibration level in the house was 60 dB or more, a level high enough to warrant complaints, Peculiar geological and geographical features are thought to contribute to the amplification of low frequency (-10 Hz) ground vibrations to irritable levels in these homes even though a distance of≥30 m separates the residential area and the monorail.展开更多

A new public transportation system design problem that simultaneously considers both bus network design and public bicycle network design is proposed. The chemical reaction optimization(CRO) is designed to solve the problem. A shortcoming of CRO is that, when the two-molecule collisions take place, the molecules are randomly picked from the container.Hence, we improve CRO by employing different mating strategies. The computational results confirm the benefits of the mating strategies. Numerical experiments are conducted on the Sioux-Falls network. A comparison with the traditional sequential modeling framework indicates that the proposed approach has a better performance and is more robust. The practical applicability of the approach is proved by employing a real size network.展开更多

Therefore, traffic control policies have been gradually adopted by Beijing municipal government since 2008, so as to ease traffic and environmental problems. In this paper, the background and current situation of Beijing to implement traffic control policies are introduced, and also this measure is analyzed and evaluated from traffic effect, environmental effect, motor vehicle development, urban road development, public transport development, and balance between supply and demand, etc. Finally, related conclusions are drawn up as follows: an induced traffic volume will be generated by traffic control policies, and the effect of the traffic control will be erased by the natural growth rate of motor vehicles in three years; public traffic service should be improved for better making traffic control policies; the traffic congestion and environmental problems are alleviated by traffic control policies in the short term, but can't be fundamentally solved in the long run; traffic control policies should cooperate with other traffic demand management policies for reducing demands, and traffic condition should be optimized in both time and space, so that the traffic congestion and environmental problems will be fundamentally solved.展开更多

Improving transit connectivity is one of the most vital tasks in transit-operations planning. A poor connection can cause some passengers to stop using the transit service. Service-design criteria always contain postulates to improve routing and scheduling coordination (intra- and inter-agency transfer centers/points and synchronized/timed transfers). Ostensibly the lack of well-defined connectivity measures precludes the weighing and quantifying of the result of any coordination effort. This work provides an initial methodological framework and concepts for (1) quantifying transit connectivity measures and (2) directions and tools for detecting weak segments in inter-route and inter-modal chains (paths) for possible revisions/changes.展开更多

Methods: This study was conducted in Fars Province, Iran from November 22, 2009 to November 21,2011. Victims' information consisted of age, sex, death toll involving dri- vers or passengers of cars, motorcycles and pedestrians, and site of injury etc. Accidents were analyzed in relation to hour of the day, season of the year, lighting condition in- cluding sunrise, sunset, daytime and nighttime. Results: Atotal of 3 642 deaths (78.3% were males, and the ratio of males to females was about 3.6:1) were studied regarding their autopsy records. There was a steady in- crease in fatal accidents occurring at midnight to 15:59. The risk of being involved in a fatal traffic accident was higherfor those injured between 4:00 to 7:59 than at other times (OR=2.13, 95% C11.85-2.44). The greatest number of fatal RTAs took place in summer. Mortalities due to RTA during spring and summer were more pronounced at 20:00 to 23:59 and midnight to 3:59, whereas mortalities in fall and winter were more pronounced from 12:00 to 15:59. Conclusion: The high mortality rate ofRTAis a major public health problem in Fars Province. Our results indicate that the time is an important factor which contributes to road traffic deaths.展开更多

Social changes are resulting in alterations in the epidemiology of trauma. The aim of the study was to assess the various epidemiological parameters that influence the cause of injury in the patients admitted to a major trauma centre in northem India. Methods: An observational study of 748 patients chosen by random assortment was carried out over a peri- od of 1 year (August 2008 to July 2009). Age, sex, injury type and pattern were noted. Injury mode of upper and lower limbs was also noted. Results: Injuries occur predominately in the age group of 15-30 years. Males incurred more injury with male to female ratio of 6:1. The most vulnerable group was motorcycle users. Among the injured, farmers were the most commonly involved. Blunt injuries (94.92%) were much more common than penetrating injuries. Among patients with head injury, two wheelers related accidents were the most common (40.3%). Most spinal cord injuries were caused by falls from height (51.09%). Most lower limb fractures were simple type. Compound fractures of the lower limb were more common than up- per limb fractures. Conclusion: Strict enforcement of traffic rules, combined with improved infrastructure and behavior change can decrease the burden of road traffic accidents in India and other developing countries. This study could assist in raising the profile of road traffic accidents as a public health problem which needs to be addressed as a preventable cause of mortality and morbidity, and plan- ning appropriate interventions for this major challenge. Preventive strategies should be made on the basis of these epidemiological trends.展开更多

Let w = φ(z) be the conformal mapping of G onto the disk B(0, r0) := {w : |w| 〈 r0), satisfying φ0(0) = 0, φ't(0) = 1. We consider the following extremal problem for p 〉 0:∫∫G|φ'(z)-P'n(z)|Pdσz→min in the class of all polynomials Pn(z) of degree not exceeding n with Pn(0) = 0, P'n (0)=- 1. The solution to this extremal problem is called the p-Bieberbach polynomial of degree n for the pair (G, 0). We study the uniform convergence of the p-Bieberbach polynomials Bn,p(z) to the φ(z) on G^- with interior and exterior zero angles determined depending on the properties of boundary arcs and the degree of their "touch".展开更多

Let w = φ(z) be the conformal mapping of G onto the disk B(0, r0) := {w : |w| 〈 r0), satisfying φ0(0) = 0, φ't(0) = 1.
