This study proposes a novel generative adversarial network (GAN) named Conditional Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network with Gradient Penalty (CWGAN-GP) to predict the network-wide ride-sourcing passenger demand OD matrix. The proposed CWGAN-GP model can not only capture internal spatiotemporal features of OD matrices, but also characterise external dependencies of OD matrices on conditional information, such as the traffic zone-based average traffic speeds, the traffic zone area, and time variables. Based on the ride-sourcing GPS trajectories from Didi Chuxing, Chengdu, China, and ride-sourcing data from the New York City, numerical results illustrate that the predicted OD matrices are in good agreement with the actual ones, and CWGAN-GP has good convergence performance by analysing the discriminator loss and the Wasserstein distance with respect to training epochs. Comparison results also validate the outperformance of CWGAN-GP compared with the other counterpart prediction methods and the reasonability of specific structures of CWGAN-GP. Thus, CWGAN-GP is concluded to be promising to predict network-wide ride-sourcing passenger demand OD matrices.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48871,"journal":{"name":"Transportmetrica A-Transport Science","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48594325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Extensive literature proclaims the existence of a variety of networks and benefits of diversity within. However, the literature falls short to exhibit the subsistence of connections between economic activities which invariably contribute towards entry decisions of business establishments. In this paper, using National Establishment Time Series (NETS) database, we analyse establishments entering the region around U.S.-400, largely in Kansas, across a period of 20 years (1992–2011). The establishments are categorised into 20 industrial sectors based on their economic activities. Using spatial econometric models and partial least squares regression, yearly relationships (attraction/impedance) among these categories are estimated. The results provide evidence that relationships amidst pre-existing and new-entrants are indeed significant in business entry. This can be critical in understanding and rationale of freight vehicle flows and guide towards corridor utilisation aspects. The inferred relationships could be used to understand how alterations in one sector may perturb other sectors and to inform about upgrading regional attraction, retention and growth-related policies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48871,"journal":{"name":"Transportmetrica A-Transport Science","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42258059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More specifically, we consider a generalisation of the Fixed-Cycle Traffic-Light (FCTL) queue. Our framework allows us to model situations where (part of the) vehicles are blocked, e.g. by pedestrians that block turning traffic and where several vehicles might depart simultaneously, e.g. in case of multiple lanes receiving a green light simultaneously.

Eight variables were found significant only in the familiar driver model. And six variables were found significant only in the unfamiliar driver model. Estimation findings indicate that the factors of early morning and sunny weather condition will be better modelled as random parameters in the model for familiar drivers and the same with the factors of rainy weather condition and afternoon peak in the model for unfamiliar drivers.

In coordinated networks, understanding the characteristics of vehicle arrivals is important for coordination purposes and to properly estimate delays. When observed on a cyclical basis in real-time, distinctive arrival patterns can lead to similar delays, which may go undetected by contemporary delay models. This study proposes a set of enhancements to the Incremental Queue Accumulation (IQA) delay model to overcome the limitations of current models. Additionally, this study proposes a hybrid signal performance measure that combines delay and arrival patterns to depict signal performance truthfully. The enhancements to IQA are realised through an algorithm for the identification of distinctive vehicle arrival groups based on high-resolution signal and detection data. The results demonstrate that the proposed model provides reliable delay estimates (MAPE score in range 4.3–11.2%) while reporting a number of traffic arrival characteristics that are not available from the benchmarked models.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48871,"journal":{"name":"Transportmetrica A-Transport Science","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47512314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The route choice is estimated following a Dirichlet distribution. By introducing a high-order hidden Markov state model, the framework can detect the routine and sudden changes of the mechanism and apply them accordingly for prediction. We propose a particle-based Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm to estimate model parameters. As a pioneering work that links transportation data with different behaviour mechanisms, we demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed framework through a numerical example.
