To take a careful study on village construction is very important for the future planning of China’s modernization. The accessibility and commuting behaviors of rural areas to a higher level of communities play an important function on the social and economic development. The influence of higher level communities to villages concerns the future redevelopment model and the industrial structure of local villages, as well as the lifestyle of local villagers. The linpan landscape is a wonderful case study because Chengdu has a relatively high population density with the scattered linpan landscape. Lots of local planners was seeking for a redevelopment planning model which can increase the accessibility of villages to outside without density 3 increase quickly, as well as to protect the valuable linpan traditional landscape. There is a contradiction between high intensity neighborhood and the traditional high density population and scattered linpan landscape.

The design of this system provided scientific basis to grasp the state of rural drinking water safety timely, release early warning information and properly take necessary control measures, etc. The evaluation results showed that the overall trend was getting better. It proved that the rising pressure value and response value were main reasons which caused the rising evaluation value of rural drinking water safety.

  • Machine Learning Based Integrated Pedestrian Facilities Planning and Staff Assignment Problem in Transfer Stations
    Machine Learning based integrated pedestrian facilities planning and staff assignment problem in transfer stations Bisheng He a,b, Hongxiang Zhang a, Keyu Wen c,d, Gongyuan Lu a,b,1 a School of Transportation and Logistics, Southwest Jiaotong University P.O. Box 610031, Chengdu, China b National United Engineering Laboratory of Integrated and Intelligent Transportation P.O.

Box 610031, Chengdu, China 1 [email protected], Phone: +86 (0) 138 8060 9100 Abstract Optimizing the pedestrian facilities plan in transfer stations is the problem of adjusting the facilities on the layout of pedestrian flow route and the number of machines in service to service to meet the level of services requirements. In the practice, the operation of pedestrian facilities plan is always associated with the staff assignment. Hence, we develop a machine learning based integrated pedestrian facilities planning and staff assignment optimization model in transfer stations to schedule the pedestrian facilities plan and the staff assignment together. It aims to minimize the staff assignment cost and the deviation of working time of each employee of the station. The minimizing of the deviation gains the fairness of the assignment plan. The facilities plan is enforced by the level-of-services requirement in three performance indicators including transfer capacity, transfer average time and level- of-service. The performance indicators of facilities plans are evaluated by a simulation- based machine learning method. Based on simulation results, the random forest method fits a quantitative relationship among performance indicators of the facilities plans with operation scenario attributes and facilities plan attributes.

    The Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation International and China Division E-Newsletter May 2016 We Care . We Share About HKSR | Unsubscribe | Online Donation Seasonal Story How big is your world? The humble conditions of adobes in Hong Kong have been inspiring lots of interior designers. They come up with diverse ideas, trying to optimize the use of limited spaces. I was quite surprised to see the innovative and practical “interior designs” of the small houses scattered on the vast land in the earthquake-stricken area of Ya’an, as it is less crowded here than Hong Kong. Sichuan Province is a disaster-prone area. An earthquake with a Richter scale reading of 7 hit Lushan County of Ya’an City in Sichuan Province, which resulted in about 200 deaths and more than 13,000 injured. Over 250,000 residences were collapsed or were damaged. It could be imagined the situation was even worse for people with disabilities who lived in the mountains. The purpose of our visit was to learn how the adaption proceeded in the reconstructed houses for people with disabilities who were affected by the earthquake, to provide rehabilitation suggestions, assistive devices and environment improvement support that they needed, in order to help them to return to normal living. We came to Yingjing County of Ya’an City this time. It was one of the most devastated area during Ya’an earthquake. A man with disabilities was lying in bed when we entered. Our therapist colleague first did an investigation of the background and made an assessment. The man had a spinal cord injury from a coal mine accident more than 20 years ago.
