Over the past few decades, massive volumes of smart card data from metro systems have been used to investigate passengers’ mobility patterns and assess the performance of metro network. With the rapid development of urban rail transit in densely populated areas, new metro lines are constantly designed and operated in recent years. Te appearance of new metro lines may signifcantly afect passenger fow and travel time in the metro network. In this study, smart card data of metro system from Nanjing, China, are used to study the changes of metro passenger fow and travel time due to the operation of a new metro line (i.e., Line 4, opened on 18 January 2017). Te impact of the new metro line on passenger fow distribution and travel time in the metro network is frst analysed. As commuting is one of the major purposes of metro trips, the impact of the new metro line on commuters’ trips is then explicitly investigated. Te results show that the new metro line infuences passenger fow, travel time, and travel time reliability in the metro network and has diferent impacts on diferent categories of commuters. 1.

  • Nanjing Fact Sheet Location: Nanjing, the Capital of China's Jiangsu
    Nanjing Fact Sheet Location: Nanjing, the capital of China’s Jiangsu province, is located in the Yangtze River Delta area, in the center of eastern China, encompassing approximately 2,548 square miles. The Yangtze River flows past the west and northern sides of Nanjing, while the Ningzheng Ridge surrounds the northern, eastern, and southern sides of the city. The Purple Mountain or Zijin Shan is located on the eastern side of Nanjing. The city is 190 miles northwest of Shanghai, and 750 miles southeast of Beijing. Nanjing borders Yangzhou to the northeast, Zhenjiang to the east and Changzhou to the southeast. On its western boundary is Anhui province. Population: Approximately 8.2 million (as of January 2016) Climate: Nanjing has a subtropical climate with four distinct seasons. Spring (March – May) is warm and humid, followed by the rainy season in June and July. Autumn is short (October – November), but brings pleasant weather that is cool and dry. Nanjing is cold in winter (December – February) with occasional snow. The average annual temperature is 61°F. Getting To Nanjing: Nanjing is accessible by Nanjing Lukou International Airport, located approximately 40 miles from the city center. China Eastern Airlines offers direct service from LAX, and a number of other airlines including United, Delta, and Quantas provide connecting service from other major airports.

    The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available on Emerald Insight at: https://www.emerald.com/insight/2632-0487.htm SRT fl 3,1 Research on digital ow control model of urban rail transit under the situation of epidemic 78 prevention and control Received 30 September 2020 Qi Sun, Fang Sun and Cai Liang Revised 26 October 2020 Accepted 26 October 2020 Beijing Rail Transit Road Network, Beijing, China, and Chao Yu and Yamin Zhang Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing, China Abstract Purpose – Beijing rail transit can actively control the density of rail transit passenger flow, ensure travel facilities and provide a safe and comfortable riding atmosphere for rail transit passengers during the epidemic. The purpose of this paper is to efficiently monitor the flow of rail passengers, the first method is to regulate the flow of passengers by means of a coordinated connection between the stations of the railway line; the second method is to objectively distribute the inbound traffic quotas between stations to achieve the aim of accurate and reasonable control according to the actual number of people entering the station. Design/methodology/approach – This paper analyzes the rules of rail transit passenger flow and updates the passenger flow prediction model in time according to the characteristics of passenger flow during the epidemic to solve the above-mentioned problems. Big data system analysis restores and refines the time and space distribution of the finely expected passenger flow and the train service plan of each route. Get information on the passenger travel chain from arriving, boarding, transferring, getting off and leaving, as well as the full load rate of each train.

On the occation of the International Year of Soils (IYS), we are pleased to invite you to participate in this conference, which will be held from 18-21 September 2015. Food security is a serious problem in the modern world. As one of the most important kinds of food production, more than 90% of the world’s rice is produced and eaten in Asia. The development of soil science in East and Southeast Asia is the basis of food production, and would play an important role for global food security. Thus, it is a glorious task of soil scientists. The international conference ESAFS, which was held for 11 times, has tried effect on different aspects of soil science. By bring soil scientists together, the 12th ESAFS would go on with promoting researches in soil and related sciences. Nanjing, as the capital of ten dynasties, is one of the most famous cities of China for both the long history also the beautiful landscape. SSSC, one of the top-level academic national societies under China Association for Science and Technology, has endeavored to excellence of soil science and developed into an important force in developing the cause of soil science and technology in China.
