One of the main challenges of bottom ash reutilization is heavy metal and salts' leaching potential. The effect of wet treatment on chemical composition and leaching toxicity of bottom ash were investigated in this study to mitigate this leaching potential. Batch leaching and col ...
People are engaged in a variety of activities through space every day. The choice of type and location of activities is known as human spatial behavior. Urban decision makers need to understand how land use and transportation systems can shape human spatial behavior in order to d ...

Inertia effects of past behavior in commuting modal shift behavior

Interactions, variations and implications for demand estimation

This paper focuses on empirically investigating the inertia effects of past behavior in commuting modal shift behavior and contributes to the current state of the art by three aspects. Firstly, this study introduces and tests the potential influences of the inertia effects of pas ...

A Network-Based Model of Passenger Transfer Flow between Bus and Metro

An Application to the Public Transport System of Beijing

In a multimodal public transport network, transfers are inevitable. Planning and managing an efficient transfer connection is thus important and requires an understanding of the factors that influence those transfers. Existing studies on predicting passenger transfer flows have m ...
Almost everyone has a mobile phone today. In addition to calls and text messages, people are utilizing mobile apps and websites to connect to the world and explore different content anytime and anywhere. The use of smart phones generates billions of records, including spatiotempo ...
New mobility data sources like mobile phone traces have been shown to reveal individuals’ movements in space and time. However, socioeconomic attributes of travellers are missing in those data. Consequently, it is not possible to partition the population and have an in-depth unde ...
This study uses mobile phone data to understand mobility patterns in a country, with limited mobility data, in order to give advice about decisions on how to design the national and regional road network. Our method consists of three parts: (1) filtering mobile phone traces to de ...
This paper proposes to segment the population using mobile internet usage data and accordingly to better understand travellers’ preferences for different types of trip destination revealed in mobile phone traces. The method is tested for the city of Shanghai, China, by using a sp ...
A location choice model explains how travellers choose their trip destinations especially for those activities which are flexible in space and time. The model is usually estimated using travel survey data; however, little is known about how to use smart card data (SCD) for this p ...
