We explore the economic diffusion radius of high-speed railway (HSR) stations. Using spatial differences-in-differences (DID) method, we find that the openings of HSR stations can promote enterprises’ performance within 20 kilometers. We also observe a heterogeneity of the effect in different...

We provide a first estimation of ground travel times between Spanish provinces circa 1867 (with a basic indicator of generalized transportations costs [GTCs]) and the geolocation of railway stations and stops between 1848 and 1930. This is work in progress that will be periodically updated with...

Railway stations are centers of mass accumulation of people. Additional regulations change the intensity of the flow of visitors and the time of entering the station. Delays become an essential factor affecting the perceived satisfaction with all services at stations. This paper analyzes the...

The integration of public transport modes has been cited by many as one of the primary factors that enhances public transport ridership and makes public transport investments more viable. Asian cities are witnessing huge investments in high-speed rail (HSR) infrastructure, which will be...

This research applied secondary data collection methods to predict passenger flows, which involved analyzing traffic flows at rail stations and statistical methods, which involved assessing the relationship between variables and regression. Observation methods were used to measure current...

High speed railway (HSR) planners aim to select locations that optimize the overall utility or benefit of HSR stations by satisfying various desirable requirements. Among other factors, accessibility and environmental impact are important considerations for HSR station location selection. The...

Integrated interoperable rail systems facilitate high speed rail (HSR) train movement on conventional intercity lines, and vice versa. Hence, for such rail systems, it is preferred that HSR stations are located at existing intercity rail stations. However, all existing intercity stations may not...

Integration of public transport modes has been cited by many as one of the primary factors that enhances public transport ridership and makes public transport investments more viable. Asian cities are witnessing huge investments in high-speed rail (HSR) infrastructure, which will be instrumental...

Stations have two main functions. The primary function of a station is to connect different modes quickly and easily with each other, this is when passengers are moving from one place to another. The secondary function is to make sure that passengers can spend their (waiting) time at a station...

Queuing is an inevitable situation experienced in everyday life. In any service system, a queue forms whenever current demand exceeds the current capacity to serve. In this paper, an analysis of the queuing situation at the ticket windows in the Nigerian Railway Corporation Lagos Terminus was...

Am 1. Juni 2008 befürwortete das Stimmvolk der Stadt Luzern ein neues Reglement über die Videoüberwachung im öffentlichen Raum. Infolgedessen wurden Mitte Dezember 2008 sechs Überwachungskameras am Bahnhofplatz Luzern installiert und in Betrieb genommen. Der vorliegende Evaluationsbericht...

Degradation of urban areas is a typical problem of many cities. The activities included in the process of regeneration are aimed at solving the problem in its social, economic and urban planning dimensions. The city is a cultural space of different values, an area of business life and a product...

Purpose: In recent years the problem of traffic congestion and its management has become increasingly prominent. It is a hot research about how to make full use of computer simulation technology to make transportation more rational and more organized. In this paper, we focus on traffic of...

In this paper we introduce the problem of shunting passenger trainunits in a railway station. Shunting occurs whenever train units aretemporarily not necessary to operate a given timetable. We discussseveral aspects of this problem and focus on two subproblems. Wepropose mathematical models for...

This study models the choices of Dutch railway users (aggregated at the 4 digit post code area) for access mode and departure railway stations. For each post code area a set of four access modes: car, public transport, bicycle and walking and a set three departure railway stations are...

Am Beispiel der Bahnhöfe wird der Bedeutungswandel von Mobilitätsträgern und hier speziell von stadtbildendenden Verkehrsdrehscheiben aufgezeigt. Die ursprünglich ausschließlich dem Verkehr dienende Einrichtung des Bahnhofes nimmt inzwischen zunehmend weitere Aufgaben wahr und dient damit...

A hedonic pricing model is estimated to analyse the impact of railways on house prices in terms of distance to railway station, frequency of railway services and distance to the railway line. Correcting for a wide range of other determinants of house prices we find that dwellings very close to a...
