In this work, we combined the artificial fish swarm and improved particle swarm optimization (AFSA-PSO) algorithms. Taking the Window of the World station of the Shenzhen Metro Line 1 as an example, subway passenger flow prediction research was carried out. The AFSA-PSO algorithm successfully preserved the fast convergence and strong traceability of the original algorithm through particle self-adjustment and dynamic weights, and it effectively overcame its shortcomings, such as the tendency to fall into local optimum and lower convergence speed.

  • Consumer Trends in China
    Collier Research China CRC Andrew Collier 631-521-1921 [email protected] The Chinese Consumer: Top Trends Our latest survey asked a simple question: what are the hottest trends in your town? We posed this question to young people in eight cities across China. We purposely left the question open ended in order to solicit wide open opinions. The results varied from the expected (KFC) to the more o!beat (cosmetics for men). The survey provides insight into the sentiment and cultural mores among Chinese youth. For investors, it also pro- vides window into the buying habits of the future middle class. Some conclusions: CRC % The Importance of Public Spaces. Many of the responses consisted of locations, such as shopping malls, karaoke bars, and fast food restaurants. This suggests Chinese youth have the money to congregate in public locations and will spend heavily to do so. % Online Not Popular. Contrary to all the statistics about online activity, either on the internet or through the mobile phone, very few online sites or games were mentioned as important trends. This could suggest the growing importance of public over private space in China, particularly in a country with a one-child policy. % Clothing a Minor Issue. We would have expected more discussion of famous clothing brands, a la American youth obsession with the Gap, and other brands. Instead, clothing comprised just 5% of the responses. % Local Brands Dominate. We were surprised to see few mentions of the big, national chains, domestic or foreign. Instead, there was frequent mention of relatively unknown local brands.

  • Dwelling in Shenzhen: Development of Living Environment from 1979 to 2018
    Dwelling in Shenzhen: Development of Living Environment from 1979 to 2018 Xiaoqing Kong Master of Architecture Design A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2020 School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry Abstract Shenzhen, one of the fastest growing cities in the world, is the benchmark of China’s new generation of cities. As the pioneer of the economic reform, Shenzhen has developed from a small border town to an international metropolis. Shenzhen government solved the housing demand of the huge population, thereby transforming Shenzhen from an immigrant city to a settled city. By studying Shenzhen’s housing development in the past 40 years, this thesis argues that housing development is a process of competition and cooperation among three groups, namely, the government, the developer, and the buyers, constantly competing for their respective interests and goals. This competing and cooperating process is dynamic and needs constant adjustment and balancing of the interests of the three groups. Moreover, this thesis examines the means and results of the three groups in the tripartite competition and cooperation, and delineates that the government is the dominant player responsible for preserving the competitive balance of this tripartite game, a role vital for housing development and urban growth in China. In the new round of competition between cities for talent and capital, only when the government correctly and effectively uses its power to make the three groups interacting benignly and achieving a certain degree of benefit respectively can the dynamic balance be maintained, thereby furthering development of Chinese cities.

  • A Data-Driven Urban Metro Management Approach for Crowd Density Control
    Hindawi Journal of Advanced Transportation Volume 2021, Article ID 6675605, 14 pages https://doi.org/10.1155/2021/6675605 Research Article A Data-Driven Urban Metro Management Approach for Crowd Density Control Hui Zhou ,1 Zhihao Zheng ,2 Xuekai Cen ,1 Zhiren Huang ,1 and Pu Wang 1 1School of Traffic and Transportation Engineering, Rail Data Research and Application Key Laboratory of Hunan Province, Central South University, Changsha 410000, China 2Department of Civil Engineering and Applied Mechanics, McGill University, Montreal H3A 0C3, Quebec, Canada Correspondence should be addressed to Pu Wang; [email protected] Received 9 November 2020; Revised 1 March 2021; Accepted 17 March 2021; Published 31 March 2021 Academic Editor: Yajie Zou Copyright © 2021 Hui Zhou et al. +is is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Large crowding events in big cities pose great challenges to local governments since crowd disasters may occur when crowd density exceeds the safety threshold. We develop an optimization model to generate the emergent train stop-skipping schemes during large crowding events, which can postpone the arrival of crowds. A two-layer transportation network, which includes a pedestrian network and the urban metro network, is proposed to better simulate the crowd gathering process. Urban smartcard data is used to obtain actual passenger travel demand. +e objective function of the developed model minimizes the passengers’ total waiting time cost and travel time cost under the pedestrian density constraint and the crowd density constraint.
