Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover how to measure, control, model, and plan people flow within modern buildings with this one-stop resource from a leading professional People Flow in Buildings delivers a comprehensive and insightful description of people flow, analysis with software-based tools. The book offers readers an up-to-date overview of mathematical optimization methods used in control systems and transportation planning methods used to manage vertical and horizontal transportation. The text offers a starting point for selecting the optimal transportation equipment for new buildings and those being modernized. It provides insight into making passenger journeys pleasant and smooth, while providing readers with an examination of how modern trends in building usage, like increasingly tall buildings and COVID-19, effect people flow planning in buildings. People Flow in Buildings clearly defines the terms and symbols it includes and then moves on to deal with the measurement, control, modelling, and planning of people flow within buildings of all kinds. Each chapter contains an introduction describing its contents and the background of the subject. Included appendices describe measured passenger data and performed analyses. Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of: A thorough introduction to people-counting methods, including counting technology inside and outside buildings, passenger traffic components, and manual people-counting An examination of the passenger arrival process in building, including the Poisson arrival process and probability density function, and passenger arrivals in batches A consideration of daily vertical passenger traffic profiles, including two-way traffic profiles and the effects of inter-floor traffic An exploration of people flow solutions, including stairs, escalators, and elevators with collective and destination group control systems, as well as double-deck and multicar system People flow calculation and simulation models Elevator planning with ISO simulation method Elevator planning and evacuation of tall buildings Perfect for software designers in the private sector and academia, People Flow in Buildings will also earn a place in the libraries of elevator consultants, manufacturers, and architects who seek a one-stop reference for transportation devices from a functional and design perspective, as opposed to a hardware perspective.

Download or read book Data Analysis for Bus Planning and Monitoring written by Peter Gregory Furth and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2000 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis reviews the state of the practice in how data are analyzed. It addresses methods used to analyze data and what computer systems are used to store and process data. It also covers accuracy issues, including measurement error, and other problems including error in estimates. This document from the Transportation Research Board addresses agency experience with different data collection systems, giving attention to management error, the need for sampling, and methods for screening, editing, and compensating for data imperfection. Sample reports from selected U.S. and Canadian transit agencies are reproduced in this synthesis.
Download or read book Distribution based Approach to Take Advantage of Automatic Passenger Counter Data in Estimating Period Route level Transit Passenger Origin destination Flows written by Yuxiong Ji and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: A methodology is developed to estimate a route-level probability OD flow matrix for a time-of-day period that takes advantage of the increasing availability of large quantities of boarding and alighting data collected via Automatic Passenger Counter (APC) technologies. Unlike previous transit OD estimation approaches, the problem formulation considers the distribution, rather than only the means, of the APC data. A Heuristic Expectation Maximization (HEM) algorithm is developed to provide an approximate solution to the estimation formulation while achieving computational feasibility for applications to realistically long bus routes. The performance of the HEM algorithm is evaluated numerically and empirically by comparing OD flow estimates to estimates produced by three other methods: the Expectation Maximization (EM) method, the Iterative Proportion Fitting (IPF) method and a Conditional Maximization (CM) method. The EM method provides a solution to the formulation, but it is computationally prohibitive for practical use. The IPF method represents traditional methods, where only the means of the APC data are considered. The CM method is developed in this study as another computationally feasible method that considers the distribution of APC data, but it is seen to extract information on the probability OD flows less efficiently than the HEM method. The numerical study demonstrates that the HEM algorithm provides a good approximation to the solution produced by the EM algorithm. In addition, the numerical and empirical studies demonstrate that the HEM algorithm produces more accurate estimates than the IPF and CM methods when large quantities of APC data are available. Moreover, the numerical and empirical studies quantify the effects of three pertinent factors on the accuracy of OD flow estimates: the number of bus trips with APC data, the sample size of an OD flow survey used with APC data to estimate OD flows, and the magnitude of measurement errors in APC counts. The HEM algorithm does not work particularly well when only a few bus trips have APC data. However, the improvement in the quality of the estimates produced with increased quantities of APC data when using the HEM method is greater than when using the CM method and is much greater than when using the IPF method. The numerical studies further demonstrate that the HEM method outperforms the IPF and CM methods if the number of bus trips with APC counts is larger than a certain threshold. This threshold increases with the sample size of an OD flow onboard survey if such a survey is used in the estimation. The threshold also increases with increasing magnitude of measurement errors in APC counts. Nevertheless, the threshold is relatively small compared to what can be feasibly collected from APC-equipped buses. Additional properties of probability OD flow estimation using the HEM algorithm are also investigated, such as convergence of the algorithm, sensitivity of OD estimates to the underlying OD structure and the distributional assumptions, and performance of OD estimation under congested conditions on buses due to bus bunching and high demand.
