Te volume of passenger fow in urban rail transit network operation continues to increase. Efective measures of passenger fow control can greatly alleviate the pressure of transportation and ensure the safe operation of urban rail transit systems. Te controllability of an urban rail transit passenger fow network determines the equilibrium state of passenger fow density in time and space. First, a passenger fow network model of urban rail transit and an evaluation index of the alternative set of fow control stations are proposed. Ten, the controllable determination model of the urban rail transit passenger fow network is formed by converting the passenger fow distribution into a system state equation based on system control theory. Te optimization method of passenger fow control stations is established via driver node matching to realize the optimized control of network stations. Finally, a real-world case study of the Beijing subway network is presented to demonstrate that the passenger fow network is controllable when driver nodes compose 25.3% of the entire network. Te optimization of the fow control station, set during the morning peak, proves the efciency and validity of the proposed model and algorithm. 1. Introduction relationship between station capacity and demand based on queuing network theory. Cortes´ [2, 3] developed a strategy to Due to their large size, fast speed, and safety, urban rail transit control public transport lines using stop-station waiting and systems have become the backbone of city transportation. interchange station operation by minimizing the waiting time In recent years, the volume of passenger fow has increased rapidly. Congestion of passenger fow is very high, especially and uniform time interval. D. Felipe et al.

Te model controls the number of passengers With network integration of urban rail transit, traditional boarding the bus to minimize the delay time. In conclusion, passenger fow control methods cannot accommodate the current passenger fow control methods focus on a single increasingly large-volume, line-intensive, complex organiza- station, line, or local network.

In addition, existing trollability provides a new perspective for network control. passenger fow control is mainly based on static relationships Along with the increasing in urban rail transit passenger between stations and does not consider the timing sequence. volume, research on subway passenger fow control and Tis paper optimizes the current fow control method via related topics has attracted the interest of many scholars.

It was inevitable, then, that 2010 would be an important year for scholarship on the Japanese colonisation of Korea. In response to this momentous anniversary, Cipango – Cahiers d’études japonaises launched a call for papers on the subject of Japan’s colonial past in the spring of 2009. 2 Why colonisation in general and not specifically relating to Korea? Because it seemed logical to the journal’s editors that Korea would be the focus of increased attention from specialists of East Asia, at the risk of potentially forgetting the longer—and more obscure—timeline of the colonisation process.

In the year 2008, Olympic volunteers, as ambassadors of Beijing, will meet new friends from throughout the world. The Chinese people are eager for our guests to learn about our city and the people who live here. I. Brief Information of Beijing Beijing, abbreviated“ JING”, is the capital of the People’s Republic of China and the center of the nation's political, cultural and international exchanges. It is a famous city with a long history and splendid culture. Some 500,000 years ago, Peking Man, one of our forefathers, lived in the Zhoukoudian area of Beijing. The earliest name of Beijing 174 Manual for Beijing Olympic Volunteers found in historical records is“JI”. In the eleventh century the state of JI was subordinate to the XI ZHOU Dynasty. In the period of“ CHUN QIU” (about 770 B.C. to 477 B.C.), the state of YAN conquered JI, moving its capital to the city of JI. In the year 938 B.C., Beijing was the capital of the LIAO Dynasty (ruling the northern part of China at the time), and for more than 800 years, the city became the capital of the Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. The People’s Republic of China was established on October 1, 1949, and Beijing became the capital of this new nation. Beijing covers more than 16,000 square kilometers and has 16 subordinate districts (Dongcheng, Xicheng, Chongwen, Xuanwu, Chaoyang, Haidian, Fengtai, Shijingshan, Mentougou, Fangshan, Tongzhou, Shunyi, Daxing, Pinggu, Changping and Huairou) and 2 counties (Miyun and Yanqing).

Conventional research mainly concentrates on energy-saving speed profiles, where the energy level evaluation of the timetable is usually considered separately. This paper integrates the train driving control optimization and the timetable characteristics by analyzing the achievable tractive energy conservation performance and the corresponding boundaries. A calculation method for energy efficient driving control solution is proposed based on the Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO) strategy, which is utilized to carry out batch processing with timetable. A boundary identification solution is proposed to detect the range of energy conservation capability by considering the relationships with average interstation speed and the passenger volume condition. A case study is presented using practical data of Beijing Metro Batong Line and two timetable schemes. The results illustrate that the proposed optimized energy efficient driving control approach is capable of saving tractive energy in comparison with the conventional traction calculation-based train operation solution.

  • Job-Worker Spatial Dynamics in Beijing: Insights from Smart Card Data
    Published as: Huang, Jie, Levinson, D., Wang, Jiaoe, Jin, Haitao (2019) Job-worker spatial dynamics in Beijing: Insights from Smart Card Data. Cities 86, 89-93 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cities.2018.11.021 1 Job-worker spatial dynamics in Beijing: insights from Smart 2 Card Data 3 Abstract: 4 As a megacity, Beijing has experienced traffic congestion, unaffordable housing 5 issues and jobs-housing imbalance. Recent decades have seen policies and projects 6 aiming at decentralizing urban structure and job-worker patterns, such as subway 7 network expansion, the suburbanization of housing and firms. But it is unclear 8 whether these changes produced a more balanced spatial configuration of jobs and 9 workers. To answer this question, this paper evaluated the ratio of jobs to workers 10 from Smart Card Data at the transit station level and offered a longitudinal study for 11 regular transit commuters. The method identifies the most preferred station around 12 each commuter’s workpalce and home location from individual smart datasets 13 according to their travel regularity, then the amounts of jobs and workers around each 14 station are estimated. A year-to-year evolution of job to worker ratios at the station 15 level is conducted. We classify general cases of steepening and flattening job-worker 16 dynamics, and they can be used in the study of other cities. The paper finds that (1) 17 only temporary balance appears around a few stations; (2) job-worker ratios tend to be 18 steepening rather than flattening, influencing commute patterns; (3) the polycentric 19 configuration of Beijing can be seen from the spatial pattern of job centers identified.
