The Operator's Story Case Study: Guangzhou's Story
Railway and Transport Strategy Centre The Operator’s Story Case Study: Guangzhou’s Story © World Bank / Imperial College London Property of the World Bank and the RTSC at Imperial College London Community of Metros CoMET The Operator’s Story: Notes from Guangzhou Case Study Interviews February 2017 Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide a permanent record for the researchers of what was said by people interviewed for ‘The Operator’s Story’ in Guangzhou, China. These notes are based upon 3 meetings on the 11th March 2016. This document will ultimately form an appendix to the final report for ‘The Operator’s Story’ piece. Although the findings have been arranged and structured by Imperial College London, they remain a collation of thoughts and statements from interviewees, and continue to be the opinions of those interviewed, rather than of Imperial College London. Prefacing the notes is a summary of Imperial College’s key findings based on comments made, which will be drawn out further in the final report for ‘The Operator’s Story’. Method This content is a collation in note form of views expressed in the interviews that were conducted for this study. This mini case study does not attempt to provide a comprehensive picture of Guangzhou Metropolitan Corporation (GMC), but rather focuses on specific topics of interest to The Operators’ Story project. The research team thank GMC and its staff for their kind participation in this project. Comments are not attributed to specific individuals, as agreed with the interviewees and GMC. List of interviewees Meetings include the following GMC members: Mr. -
Optimal Express Bus Routes Design with Limited-Stop Services for Long-Distance Commuters
sustainability Article Optimal Express Bus Routes Design with Limited-Stop Services for Long-Distance Commuters Hongguo Ren 1,2, Zhenbao Wang 1,2,* and Yanyan Chen 3 1 School of Architecture and Art, Hebei University of Engineering, Handan 056038, Hebei, China; [email protected] 2 Key Laboratory of Architectural Physical Environment and Regional Building Protection Technology, Handan 056038, Hebei, China 3 School of Urban Transportation, Beijing University of Technology, Beijing 100124, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 10 December 2019; Accepted: 21 February 2020; Published: 23 February 2020 Abstract: This research aimed to propose a route optimization method for long-distance commuter bus service to improve the attraction of public transport as a sustainable travel mode. Takingthe express bus services (EBS) in Changping Corridor in Beijing as an example, we put forward an EBS route-planning method for long-distance commuter based on a solving algorithm for vehicle routing problem with pickups and deliveries (VRPPD) to determine the length of routes, number of lines, and stop location. Mobile phone location (MPL) data served as a valid instrument for the origin–destination (OD) estimation, which provided a new perspective to identify the locations of homes and jobs. The OD distribution matrices were specified via geocoded MPL data. The optimization objective of the EBS is to minimize the total distance traveled by the lines, subject to maximum segment capacity constraints. The sensitivity analysis was done to several key factors (e.g., the segment capacity, vehicle capacity, and headway) influencing the number of lines, the length of routes. -

Sediment Provenance Discrimination in Northern Okinawa Trough During the Last 24 Ka and Paleoenvironmental Implication: Rare Earth Elements Evidence
JOURNAL OF RARE EARTHS, Vol. 30, No. 11, Nov. 2012, P. 1184 Sediment provenance discrimination in northern Okinawa Trough during the last 24 ka and paleoenvironmental implication: rare earth elements evidence XU Zhaokai (徐兆凯)1, LI Tiegang (李铁刚)1, CHANG Fengming (常凤鸣)1, CHOI Jinyong2, LIM Dhongil3, 4 XU Fangjian (徐方建) (1.

School of Geo- sciences, China University of Petroleum, Qingdao 266555, China) Received 28 February 2012; revised 28 September 2012 Abstract: Rare earth elements (REE) compositions and discriminant function were successfully used to examine high resolution sediment source changes in the northern Okinawa Trough over the last 24.1 ka, especially for the influence from the Yellow River and the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) that has not been well solved. Variations of these parameters were clearly divided into three distinct depositional units. During Interval 1 (24.1–16.0 ka BP), the paleo-Yellow River and the paleo-Yangtze River mouths were situated near the studied area and could have played major roles in the sedimentation therein. In Interval 2 (16.0–7.3 ka BP), these river mouths gradually retreated with global sea-level rise, leading to less fluvial inputs from them to the northern Okinawa Trough. Meanwhile, formation of the TWC could carry some sediment loads of Taiwan to the studied core, especially during its late phase (8.0–7.3 ka BP). -
