Obtaining reasonably accurate level of service (LOS) attributes of different travel modes such as travel time and cost representing the performance of transportation system is not a trivial task, especially in growing cities of developing countries. This study investigates the sensitivity of results of a travel mode choice model to different specifications of network-based LOS attributes using a mixed logit model. The study also looks at the possibilities of correcting some of the inaccuracies in network-based LOS attributes. Further, the study also explores the effects of different specifications of LOS data on implied values of time and aggregation forecasting. The findings indicate that the implied values of time are very sensitive to specification of data and model implying that utmost care must be taken if the purpose of the model is to estimate values of time. Models estimated on all specifications of LOS-data perform well in prediction, likely suggesting that the extra expense on developing a more detailed and accurate network models so as to derive more precise LOS attributes is unnecessary for impact analyses of some policies.展开更多

To suit this trend, there will be three provision modes as Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) server, Open Service Access (OSA) application server and intelligent network(IN) in Next Generation Network (NGN), provides all kinds of services and applications to the subscribers. With the popularity of broadband access and Internet, the NGN will provide single telecommunication service and act as the important national infrastructure to offer various information services to the subscribers. The service provision mode will be more open, diversified, and individualized.展开更多

Two reconfiguration situations are considered: operation mode adjustment with the objective of minimizing active power loss(situation Ⅰ) and service restoration with the objective of maximizing loads restored(situation Ⅱ). These two situations are modeled as a mixed integer quadratic programming problem and a mixed integer linear programming problem, respectively. The properties of the distribution network with distributed generation considered are reflected as the structure model and the constraints described by directed graph. More specifically, the concepts of "in-degree" and "out-degree"are presented to ensure the radial structure of the distribution network, and the concepts of "virtual node" and"virtual demand" are developed to ensure the connectivity of charged nodes in every independent power supply area.The validity and effectiveness of the proposed method are verified by test results of an IEEE 33-bus system and a 5-feeder system.展开更多

However, the development and application of CDN are limited by some reasons, like operating system and price of ISP. In addition, ISP is suffering network congestion brought by the sudden traffic migration and infrastructure deployment of CDN without the confusion of the basic information of the network. We should balance or coordinate the relationship between ISP and CDN. And the friendliness building of CDN and ISPs will promote the user experience, effectively guarantee their service quality, improve the network operation, and reduce the content distribution cost. In this paper, we discuss the basic working principle of CDN and ISP, analyze possibility of cooperation between CDN and ISP and conclude the existing methods from a novel angle. Furthermore, some suggestions for further research and solutions in this field are provided.展开更多
