Multitasking during Travel in Mumbai, India: Effect of Satiation in Heterogeneous Urban Settings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Multitasking is an essential aspect of an individual’s overall activity participation and time allocation behavior, and travel is one of the few activities which provides the scope for natural multitasking. This study ... -
Modeling Urban Spatial Expansion Considering Population Migration Interaction in Ezhou, Central China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Against the background of rapid social and economic reform, urban space systems are unceasingly reconstituted. Population migration, which is a popular social phenomenon, has become an important driving force affecting ... -
Empirical Analysis of Factors Influencing Potential Demand of Customized Buses in Shanghai, China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The customized bus (CB) is an emerging commute mode in China, and it is operated flexibly with schedules arranged based on online reservations. However, a CB can only be operated with sufficient travel demand. This paper ... -
Clustering Analysis of Ridership Patterns at Subway Stations: A Case in Nanjing, China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Better understanding of urban mass transit trip mobility patterns will be helpful to increase public transit ridership and improve transit services of large cities. Therefore, a station-oriented clustering analysis on ... -
Assessing Degree of Landscape Naturalness in a Mediterranean Coastal Environment Threatened by Human Activities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Naturalness is one of the most studied concepts in spatial planning; it is considered an important criterion, especially for nature conservation. The objective of assessing naturalness is to identify landscape character ... -
Designing a Road Network Using John Rawls’s Social Justice Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Financial resources for road network developments are commonly distributed in such a way that wealthy regions gain more benefit, which would gradually intensify the socioeconomic gap among regions. By presenting a short ... -
Location-Based Method to Identify Industrial Clusters in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Area in China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The extant quantitative methodologies to identify industrial clusters usually lack the combination of both industrial linkages and enterprise proximity information. To rectify this situation, this paper employs the ... -
