They are: • Optimizing Strategic Allocation of Vehicles for One-Way Car-sharing Systems Under Demand Uncertainty • Measuring Performance at a Large Metropolitan Area: The Case of the DC (District of Columbia) Metroplex • Determinants of Per Capita Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT): The Case of California • The Magnitudes of Economic and Non-Economic Factors in the Demand for U.S. Domestic Air Travel • Forecast of C02 Emissions From the U.S. Transportation Sector: Estimation from a Double Exponential Smoothing Model • State Variation in Railroad Wheat Rates • Factors Contributing to Police Attendance at Motor Vehicle Crash Scenes. The first article is by Wei Fan and it is titled “Optimizing Strategic Allocation of Vehicles for One-way Car-sharing Systems Under Demand Uncertainty.” Fan’s focus is on making car- sharing programs sustainable. To do so he develops a multistage stochastic optimization model to study the strategic allocation of car-sharing vehicles (OSCAV) in one-way car-sharing programs. His approach, involving a multistage linear programming model, is validated using “a seven-stage experimental network” with four car-sharing locations. According to Fan the validation provides high quality solutions suggesting that his proposed models can be used in real world applications. In the second paper, Tony Diana studies the performance of the airports in Washington DC, and surrounding areas whose operations may result in conflicting arrival and departure paths. He defines such an area as a METROPLEX and uses it to answer several research questions. How is variation in block time affected by meteorological conditions? Are the influences of the variables affecting block times also affected by meteorological conditions? How do new air traffic control procedures and the capabilities of the next generation of air traffic control system (NEXTGEN) affect these airports? Are there differences in results when hierarchical linear models that account for fixed and random effects and regression models are used? The dependent variable in his models is block delay and the independent variables include en-route miles flown, average speed, the nation’s airspace system (NAS) delays, taxi-out delays, taxi-in delays, airborne delays and percent operations in instrument meteorological conditions. He concludes from his analysis that hierarchical models provide a better picture of performance, and that instrument meteorological conditions, en-route miles flown, speed, the number of NAS delays, taxi-in and taxi-out delays have significant effects on variation in block time compared to airline flight plans. The third paper is by Woldeamanuel and Kent and it is on the determinants of per capita vehicle miles traveled in California. Its aim is to identify policy variables which could help in reducing per capita vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG). Additionally, the paper aims to provide a better understanding of the factors which reduce VMT so that “state and regional organizations can develop effective strategies for near and long term per capita VMT and GHG reduction.” Data for the study are from the National Household Travel Survey and include information on household demographics and travel behavior. Using multivariate regression methods the authors estimate VMT equations and employ Chow’s test to reject data pooling in favor of separate models for 2001 and 2009. They find “a shift toward a more diverse group of significant 3 variables which explain and impact per capita VMT” (e.g., commuting by public transit, increasing public transit trips, bike trips), a group of variables with similar effects in the 2001 and 2009 models (e.g., distance to work, population density, travel day trips, and number of vehicles in a household) and concluded that their study supports compact urban development. Park and Koo examine “the magnitudes of economic and non-economic factors in the demand for U.S. domestic air travel” in the fourth paper with the objective of analyzing carrier behavior in capturing market share. Using a utility maximization framework they derive a demand equation whose dependent variable is airline passenger miles, and its independent variables are the fares of different airlines, disposable income, seasonality, the impact of the September 11 attack and a merger variable. This demand equation is estimated with data from the first quarter of 2000 through the third quarter of 2012 drawn from sources including airlines, the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Economic Report of the President. They find that air fare, income, seasonality and mergers are important determinants of passenger demand. More importantly, they find that U.S. airline passenger demand is unaffected by unexpected events such as the September 11 attack on airlines. In the fifth paper Choi, Roberts and Lee write on forecasting carbon dioxide emissions in the U.S transportation sector. Their objectives are to provide forecasts of carbon dioxide at the national and state levels from 2012 to 2021 and determine if trends in carbon dioxide emissions reductions in the United States since 2000 are observable across states. Choi et al. estimate a double exponential smoothing model using data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the State Energy Data System of the U.S. Energy Information Administration to forecast carbon dioxide emissions. They find long-term trends in the reduction of carbon dioxide throughout the United States.

  • Selected Affinities
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Selected Affinities June 23 – August 31, 2018 Opening reception for the artists: Saturday, June 23, 4:00 – 6:00 pm Allan Sekula, detail from Message in a Bottle (from Fish Story Chapter 5) (first version), 1992/1994 “But it is capital that is the leading, protean force, pushing people this way and that and leaving them to stew or rot or boil over.” – Allan Sekula (1951-2013), excerpt from Fish Story Santa Monica, April 2018 — Christopher Grimes Gallery is pleased to announce its forthcoming exhibition Selected Affinities, with works by Allan Sekula, Miles Coolidge, Connie Samaras, Katie Shapiro and Billy Woodberry. From the desert to the docks, farmland to the sea, this exhibition brings together four artists, who, along with Sekula, use photography or video not only as a tool for documentation but also as part of a discourse rooted in social relations. On view for the first time at the gallery will be Sekula’s Message in a Bottle (from Fish Story Chapter 5) (first version). One of his best-known bodies of work, Fish Story is a sequential piece composed of over one hundred pictures in nine chapters documenting maritime spaces and the effects of globalization. Message in a Bottle specifically addresses the decline of the fishing economy in the small Spanish town of Vigo. Sekula has exhibited extensively both internationally and locally, with solo exhibitions most recently at Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, Vienna, Austria; NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore; and Johan Jacobs Museum, Zurich, Switzerland. His work is in the collections of the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN; Museum of Modern Art New York, NY; J.

  • For Immediate Release Miles Coolidge Gallery I
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MILES COOLIDGE GALLERY I EXHIBITION DATES: JANUARY 12 – FEBRUARY 10, 2007 OPENING: THURSDAY, JANUARY 11th, 6 - 8 PM GALLERY HOURS: TUESDAY – SATURDAY, 10 - 6 PM For his fifth solo show in New York, Los Angeles-based artist, Miles Coolidge, will present two of his latest photographic projects in Gallery I. Both works recognize photography's importance in visual and popular culture, embracing the medium as a conceptual and surrealist tool in the history of art. Coolidge works between traditional photographic genres and strategies, de-familiarizing our accustomed approach to our surroundings. His most ambitious project to date, Wall of Death, is an installation of 20 color photographs that replicates a complete and full-scale representation of the performing surface of the traveling carnival act, “Don Daniel's Wall of Death Motorcycle Thrill Show,” operated by the California Hellriders, who are based in Swansea, Massachusetts. Each photograph corresponds to one of the Wall of Death's wooden panels, and the images are mounted edge-to edge on the gallery wall, echoing how the structure appears when fully assembled. Coolidge shot the images on the grounds of the Iron Horse Saloon, Ormond Beach, Florida, during “Biketoberfest 2006”. The Wall of Death is a vertical wooden cylinder in which trained motorcycle and go-kart riders perform for audiences. The riders are held to the sheer surface by the centripetal force generated by their velocities of 35 mph or more. Coolidge’s 20 images depict the 7' wooden surface on which the riders perform. Currently there are 3 Walls of Death in operation in the United States that travel between motorcycling events in the South, the Midwest and the Northeast, in addition to others based in Great Britain, Europe and perhaps elsewhere.

  • Jan | Feb | March | 2016
    jan | feb | march | 2016 s a n t a b a r b a r a m u s e u m o f a r t from the director Dear Members, This new year is especially significant as it marks an important milestone—the Museum’s 75th anniversary. On Thursday, June 5, 1941, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art opened its doors for the first time amidst a throng of community leaders, local schoolchildren, and SBMA founders. The idea for a city museum originally came from the local artist Colin Campbell Cooper. When he learned that the main post office building, erected in 1912 and abandoned for several years, was going to be sold, he proposed, in a letter published in the Santa Barbara News-Press in July of 1937, that the impressive Italianate structure should be transformed into a museum. What Cooper himself described as something of a “pipedream” came to fruition just four years later, thanks to a groundswell of support from the community and the commitment of a small, passionate army of artists and civic-minded individuals. Also voicing their enthusiasm for the project was a large group of merchants, some 125 of whom petitioned the County’s Board of Supervisors to buy the property from the federal government so that it may be used as a museum. Their plea was heeded and, before long, a number of Santa Barbara residents formed an official museum committee and a number of generous citizens offered funds to remodel the building, to construct galleries, and to add new floors and lighting that would be up to museum standards.
