The robustness of a road network against such attack is crucial to be studied because it may cripple its connectivity by simply shutting down these hubs. We show the important hubs in a road network based on network structure and propose a model for robustness analysis. By identifying important hubs in a road network, possible preparation schemes may be done earlier to mitigate random terrorist attacks, including defense reinforcement and transportation security. A case study of the Metro Manila road network is also presented. The case study shows that the most important hubs in the Metro Manila road network are near airports, piers, major highways and expressways. Keywords: PageRank, Terrorist Attack, Robustness 1. Introduction Table 1 Comparative analysis of different Roads are important access points because methodologies on network robustness indices connects different places like cities, districts, and Author Method Strength Weakness landmarks.

  • The Arithmetic Behind and Beyond the Proposed Manila Subway
    The Arithmetic Behind and Beyond the Proposed Manila Subway by Manny Gonzalez Though my present occupation is that of an innkeeper in Cebu, in a past incarnation I was an investment officer at World Bank-IFC on the Latin American desk. My specialty was running the numbers on private-sector projects, from small ones like a US$ 200 thousand sugar-mill rehabilitation in Haiti, to larger ones like a US$ 1 Billion copper mine expansion in Mexico. “Running the numbers” includes: determining that the cost estimates are reasonable and comprehensive; forecasting the financial and economic returns, and evaluating whether a project has an appropriate scope and economy of scale In all investment analysis, a healthy scepticism is useful. On one occasion I was assigned to recommend ways to improve profitability in an investment company headquartered in Midtown Manhattan, supposedly worth US$ 1 Billion. It was owned by the world’s then top companies in banking and industry (Citibank, GE, Morgan, IBM, Deutsche, etc. – and that was the problem: with so many illustrious parents, no one felt responsible for watching its numbers). After visiting most of its branches around Latin America and evaluating its asset portfolio, I realized it wasn’t even worth US$100 Million. I recommended shutting it down. Suddenly, a lot of big-name banks and companies were telling me my numbers must be wrong. But they weren’t. The company was liquidated. The proposed 36-km Manila Subway Phase One also has many illustrious parents or backers in both government and industry. And, as with the case described above, no one has looked closely at the numbers.

  • A Study on Travel Time and Delay Survey and Traffic Data Analysis and Visualization Methodology
    Proceedings of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies, Vol.8, 2011 A Study on Travel Time and Delay Survey and Traffic Data Analysis and Visualization Methodology Reigna Jewel Ritz M. MACABABBAD Jose Regin F. REGIDOR Graduate Student Associate Professor Institute of Civil Engineering, Institute of Civil Engineering University of the Philippines College of Engineering Diliman, Quezon City University of the Philippines 1101 Philippines Diliman, Quezon City E-mail: [email protected] 1101 Philippines E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Travel time and delay studies are used to evaluate traffic conditions, determine levels of service and to plan for improvements. Transportation planners and engineers of the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) still employ the manual or stop watch method using a test car in obtaining travel time and delay data. Thus, it is necessary to develop and demonstrate an efficient method using tools for assessment of road traffic conditions. This paper presents a Geographical Positioning System or GPS based travel time and delay survey and data analysis methodology. It presents the development and application of a methodological framework and also data analysis and presentation through the use of digital maps. The use of GPS in this research provides fundamental inputs towards the development of a probe car system for use in travel time and delay studies in the Philippine cities. Key Words: GPS, travel time, delay, methodology 1. INTRODUCTION Travel time, a fundamental measure in transportation, is the total elapsed time necessary for a vehicle to travel from one point to another over a specified route under existing traffic conditions.

Company Executive Chairman of the Board Officer Jose E.B. Antonio said the firm’s resolve in developing innovative real estate products for the market over the past years, coupled with a differentiated marketing strategy, resulted in successful property sales. This propelled the completion and turnover of several residential and commercial projects for Century this year. Earlier Century reported that its reservation sales for 2013 rose to Php24.6 billion, the highest it has achieved in its history. “Century Properties opened 2014 riding high with a record pre‐sales growth, and we intend to keep this momentum going with the same aggressive and impassioned approach we took in the past year. The results were tremendous so we expect to perform no less in 2014,” Antonio said. He added: “This month Century Properties will mark its 28th year in Philippine real estate. And the best way to celebrate this milestone is by handing over to our clients the keys to their much‐ awaited homes and investments.
