  • Robust Methods and Conditional Expectations for Vehicular Traffic Count Analysis Jorma Kilpi1* , Ilkka Norros2, Pirkko Kuusela1, Fanny Malin1 and Tomi Räty1
    Kilpi et al. European Transport Research Review (2020) 12:10 European Transport https://doi.org/10.1186/s12544-020-0399-8 Research Review ORIGINAL PAPER Open Access Robust methods and conditional expectations for vehicular traffic count analysis Jorma Kilpi1* , Ilkka Norros2, Pirkko Kuusela1, Fanny Malin1 and Tomi Räty1 Abstract We study the problem of making algorithmic statistical inferences about the dynamics of city traffic. Our data is based on loop detector counts of observed vehicles in various roads in the city of Tampere, Finland. We show that meaningful correlations can be found between traffic asymmetries at different measurement locations. The traffic asymmetry is the difference of the traffic counts of the opposite directions of a road. The correlations can be further quantified by estimating how much they effect on the average values of the traffic asymmetries at the neighbouring locations. Conditional expectations, both sample and binormal model-based versions are useful tools for quantifying this effect. The uncertainty bounds of conditional expectations of the binormal model distribution are extremely useful for outlier detection. Furthermore, conditional expectations of the multinormal distribution model can be used to recover missing data with bounds to uncertainty. Keywords: Loop detector, Traffic count data, Robust statistics, Truncated distribution, Multinormal distribution 1 Introduction The motivation of this work is to provide a statistically People’s travel behavior is initiated by the need to travel robust algorithmic framework for automated analysis of and then choosing the mode, route and time for trips. loop detector data.

Laajempi yhteenveto yksittäisistä mielipiteistä on koottu lausunnon loppuun. Kopiot alkuperäisistä mielipiteistä lähetään hankkeesta vastaavalle yhteysviranomaisen lausunnon kanssa. Alkuperäiset asiakirjat arkistoidaan Pirkanmaan Ympäristökeskuksessa. Mielipide A Vaihtoehto 2:een liittyviä kommentteja Rakennusaikainen haitta liikenteelle: Työ tulee kestämään n. 4 vuotta ja sinä aikana ohjaillaan liikenne tunnelityömaan molemmissa päissä tilapäisjärjestelyillä, mikä tulee aiheuttamaan jatkuvia ruuhkia Rantaväylälle, Pispalanvaltatielle ja keskustan kaduille. Osa liikenteestä siirtyy tästä syystä käyttämään eteläistä ohitustietä, vaikka matka olennaisesti piteneekin. Liikenteen päästöt lisääntyvät. Louheen poiskuljetus: Merkittävä ympäristöhaitta syntyy myös siitä, että lähes miljoona kuutiota louhetta (joka tekee useita kuormia tunnissa koko rakennusajan) pitää kuljettaa raskaalla kalustolla. Tämä aiheuttaa melua ja päästöjä ja haittaa muuta liikennettä. Joukkoliikenne: Suunniteltuun tunneliin ei tule joukkoliikennekaistoja eli suunnitelma tukee vain yksityisautoilu. Rautatieliikenne: Onkiniemen kohdalle suunniteltu tien osuus estää toisen rataparin rakentamisen ja tekee tulevaisuudessa mahdottomaksi kiskoliikenteen käytön paikallisliikenteessä. Turvallisuus: Uudella Helsinki-Turku valtatiellä on tunneleita, joista liikenne on jo useita kertoja siirretty pidemmäksi

What do you do with objects that have been damaged by fire or in transfers between collections? These questions prompted the collection management team of Tampere Museums to develop a value classification system in 1994. This system has been applied since, and has proved to be a practical tool for collection management. The system has already been refined through experience. We hope that this article will provoke discussion and motivate museums to develop common collection management methods. TAMPERE MUSEUMS further strengthened by the establishment of a railway network.

Sokołowicz, University of Lodz, Orcid 0000-0002-0716-4345, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: In this paper, we try to identify the institutional offers for emigrants and evaluate the role of immigrants at the time of the industrial revolution in the nineteenth century history of three cities where the dynamic growth and the ‘take-offs’ depended largely on newcomers. In all cases, the industry was the main factor that led to the ‘take-off’ in terms of the number of inhabitants and also the creation of the bourgeoisie as a socio-economic class. In our paper we reveal key institutional and geographical factors that accelerated the unprecedent waves of immigrants (with different strengths in different cities) to these Eastern European ‘Manchesters’ and made their role central to urban economic development. Their activity was the result of advantageous institutional circumstances connected with changes in the borders, the appearance of governments, and new local management being strictly related to changes in customs policy or extraordinary international situations.

  • Bulletin 1 Junior World Orienteering Championships Tampere, Finland L 9-15 July 2017
    Bulletin 1 Junior World Orienteering Championships Tampere, Finland l 9-15 July 2017 Welcome Welcome to Finland and to Tampere to the Junior World Orienteering Championships 2017! We are thank- ful for the responsibility we have been given together with the Finnish Orienteering Federation, the city of Tampere and Koovee Orienteering Club. For quite some time now we have been preparing for the event to offer high-class tracks, terrains, athlete’s village and other activities. We hope that in the year 2017, when Finland is celebrating its 100th year of independence, both the orienteers and spectators will have an unforgettable and amazing experience! Markku Valkamo Event Director JWOC 2017 Venue and access With a population of well over 200,000, Tampere (founded in 1779) is the largest inland city in the Nordic countries. Thanks to the new city planning, former indust- rial areas such as Finlayson and Tampella are alive again: cafes, restaurants, shops, cinemas, museums and galleries have found a place there. There is a lot to see in Tampere: original Finnish ar- chitecture, breathtaking lake sceneries, magnificent glacial ridges, beautiful parks and lush forests next to the city center. Särkänniemi adventure park with Angry Birds Land is located near the city center. Tampere is located in southern Finland some 170 km north of Helsinki, the capital of the country. It is within easy reach: less than two hours by train or by car from the both major coastal cities (Helsinki & Turku) and even more conveniently accessible by air, thanks to good flight connections. The distance from the Tampere-Pirkkala airport to the center of Tampere is about 17 km.

  • History Revisited - Ballistics of Tampella 160 and 300 Mm Mortar Bombs
    HISTORY REVISITED - BALLISTICS OF TAMPELLA 160 AND 300 MM MORTAR BOMBS Ari Makkonen, Jukka Tiainen, Vesa Toivonen and Eeva Makkonen Patria Weapon Systems P.O.Box 18 FIN-38200 Vammala FINLAND As a part of the 70th anniversary of mortar production in Finland, a review of the history of lesser known Tampella 160 mm and 300 mortars and their ammunition was carried out. As a part of this review, internal, external and terminal ballistics of some projectiles of interest was analyzed using modern projectile analysis software like FNGUN, PDS and SPLIT-X. The results of the analyses were compared to test data from the archives of Tampella and Finnish Defence Forces whenever such data was available. HISTORY Finnish company Tampereen Pellava-ja Rauta-Teollisuus Osake-Yhtiö (Tampere Linen and Iron Works Ltd), better known as "Tampella" started weapons production in 1932 and had by 1939 established itself as a mortar producer both for the Finnish army and export market. Full speed production of 81 and 120 mm mortars, ammunition and weapons repair work for the Finnish army continued throughout the Winter War (1939-40) and the Continuation War (1941-44) A super heavy 300 mm mortar known as 300 Krh/42 (Fig 2) or colloiqually "poor man´s Stuka", referring to its huge 175 kg HE bunker busting shell (Fig 1), was developed by Tampella, the design work beginning in 1940 and resulting in a firing prototype in 1942. The design was finalized in 1943-44, but due to some unknown misunderstanding Tampella stopped production on the six series mortars sometime in the spring of 1944 and only one was ever produced.
