Understanding human mobility patterns through mobile phone records : a cross-cultural study
… I present a cross-cultural study on human's trip length distribution and how it might be influenced by regional socio-economic factors, such as population density, income and unemployment rate. Mobile phone records contain very detailed calling information of the spatiotemporal localization …

Location updating and paging strategies in a cellular system
… mean speed, mean velocity hold time and mean trip length, is studied. It is found that spread paging is most sensitive to the mean trip length of a user while selective paging is most sensitive to uncertainty in user mean speed.

Three papers on the behavior modeling of the shrimp fishermen in the Gulf of Mexico
… exhibits changes over time too. As for their trip length decision, it seems that diesel price is negatively related to the length of days fished, so is the price difference between large and medium sized shrimp. Further, there seems to be a pattern that the trip length is increasing over the …

Design and evaluation of BRT and limited-stop services
… comes), demand split, average passengers per trip, service running times, change in average passenger travel time, and change in corridor ridership. A model was developed to obtain the proposed measures of effectiveness for user-defined service configurations. This model is an improvement to …

Simulation of household in-home and transportation energy use : an integrated behavioral model for estimating energy consumption at the neighborhood scale
… estimate out-of-home energy use by predicting trip generation, mode choice and trip length for each household and in-home energy use according to different energy sources. In the various sub-models, relevant dimensions of neighborhood form and design are included as explanatory variables. These …

Building Sustainable and Inclusive Cities: Analyzing the Impact of Planning Paradigms in the US
… the study examines the relationship between trip length, access to nearby amenities, and segregation. The results suggest that less restrictive zoning rules could make it easier for people to access nearby amenities without traveling long distances. However, such policies also run the risk of …

Three Essays in Real Estate and Urban Economics
… the lower the demand for housing. The effects of trip frequency, trip length and recreation housing cost on the spatial distribution of consumers are considered. The effect of the wage rate on recreation and location demands is also explored. In the fourth chapter, the alternatives available for …

Exploring the relationship between destination accessibility, cluster formation and employment growth in Kendall Square
… (Pushkarev & Zupan 1977) demonstrated that high trip density is unsustainable without an efficient public transportation system. This high employment density center fosters a unique kind of industry, focusing on the cutting edge of technology and research, bio-tech and technology start-ups. The …

Design and Evaluation of Urban Congestion Pricing Policies with Microsimulation of Passenger and Freight
… carrier’s mode choice, departure time choice, trip length, and logistics operations including shipper’s shipment size & frequency choice, carrier’s vehicle tour planning, etc. Logistics efficiency improves the most for e-commerce shipments and internal tours under the distance-based policy. The …

Bus use behavior in multi-route corridors
… strategy is increasingly prevalent as the length of the bus trip increases. Passenger behavior was also found to be affected by crowding, passenger experience on the corridor, and access to real-time information. In addition to the analysis of automated data, this research includes a …

A Data Driven Real Time Control Strategy for Power Management of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles
… states of the system as well as the future trip information. To design the mentioned parametric real-time power management policies, we use dynamic programming (DP). First, a representative power-split PHEV powertrain model is introduced, followed by a DP formulation for obtaining the …

Investigating the relationships between land use characteristics, public transport network features and financial viability at a corridor scale
… very significant effect on the average passenger trip length, and financial viability as a result. When the majority of the population is articulated adjacent to the public transport trunk corridors, at a higher density, far fewer inefficient feeder services are required. Additionally, the chosen …
