Abstract

In this paper, percolation-based street network connectivity is studied for two types of networks from transit systems: first, networks from a fixed route transit (FRT) and second, networks from a flexible route transit (FXRT). Application examples with Route 121 from Long Beach Transit for FRT show that the connectivity of a section of the route analysed is up to 67%. With FXRT example using five Call-n-Ride (CnR) Denver RTD, the connectivity is found to be the highest for Interlocken with street connectivity up to 14.4%. The street network from all the five CnR systems appeared to be poorly connected for drop-off or pick-up of passengers. This research would serve as a benchmark to studying several other percolation-based properties of porous media that can be successfully applied to modelling network connectivity of other modes of transportation such as rail and freight trucks.

基于渗透理论的支线交通路网连通性模型

本文研究了两种类型的交通系统网络:固定路线交通网络(FRT)和灵活路线交通网络(FXRT)。长滩公交121号公路的FRT应用实例表明，所分析路段的连通性高达67%。以FXRT为例，使用5个Call-n-Ride (CnR)丹佛RTD, interlocking的连通性最高，街道连通性高达14.4%。所有五个北车系统的街道网络在乘客上下车方面似乎连接不佳。这项研究将作为研究多孔介质的其他几种基于渗透的特性的基准，这些特性可以成功地应用于其他运输方式(如铁路和货运卡车)的网络连通性建模。

期刊介绍： There is an increasing demand for transportation solutions that are responsive, safe, sustainable, smart and cost-efficient. This has resulted in increased emphasis on responsive intermodal transportation systems. WRITR provides an international forum for the critical evaluation and dissemination of research and development in all areas related to intermodal transportation. Research disseminated via WRITR has significant impact on both theory and practice, and is of value to academics, practitioners and policy makers in this field. Topics covered include: -International trade and transportation -Infrastructure, network design and optimisation -Design, planning and control of transportation systems -Intermodal, intelligent and sustainable transportation solutions -Transportation modes (air, rail, road, sea, pipe) -Transportation cost/benefit analysis -Railroad, terminal and port development -Port/terminal operations and management -Warehousing and inventory management -Transportation regulations, standards and security -Environmental impact, liability and insurance -Risk analysis and management -Information technology and decision support systems -Strategic alliances and relationship management -Government involvement and incentives
