Automatic fare collection (AFC) systems have been widely used all around the world which record rich data resources for researchers mining the passenger behavior and operation estimation. However, most transit systems are open systems for which only boarding information is recorded but the alighting information is missing. Because of the lack of trip information, validation of utility functions for passenger choices is difficult. To fill the research gaps, this study uses the AFC data from Beijing metro, which is a closed system and records both boarding information and alighting information. To estimate a more reasonable utility function for choice modeling, the study uses the trip chaining method to infer the actual destination of the trip. Based on the land use and passenger flow pattern, applying k-means clustering method, stations are classified into 7 categories.

  • Bejing Photo-Essay, September 2019, by Elly
    Bejing photo-essay, September 2019, by Elly View from my window: 4th Ring Road (on the right) and Olympic area (straight ahead) I was invited by a former visiting scholar at ASU to come to Beijing for a month, to teach syntax at the University of Science and Technology, Beijing (USTB). My students were amazingly dedicated and asked so many good questions: I really loved their enthusiasm! My host made life very enjoyable and the experience truly amazing; she and wonderful students showed me Beijing life and sights. More on all of this below! And a friend came up from Zhengzhou and we spent two days exploring the Great Wall outside Beijing, a Ming village, and saw a farm and the most beautiful mountain ranges. Themes in the below are: USTB, cityscape, transportation, world view, art, my teaching here, food, and special sights inside and outside of Beijing. The Great Wall at Badaling The University of Science and Technology has 30,000 students with a number of international students (mainly from Africa), who I was told get better dorms: 2/room where Chinese students are 4 to 7 to a room. Undergraduate fees are US $500-1000 (4000-6000 Y) and graduate ones a little over $1000 (8000- 10000 Y) per year and dorm fees 900 Y. Students get government and departmental aid. USTB is one of many universities in the Haidian/Wudaokou district, in the NW of Beijing; others are Peking University, Tsinghua University, Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU), and Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU). 1 School of Foreign Studies, before the semester started West Gate of USTB; Soviet style buildings BFSU library BLCU North Gate I was perhaps most surprised by how much green there is and how much older architecture is preserved.
