“…While funding is a project cornerstone, the decision to construct a line is influenced by many factors. is study tests whether accessibility (the ease of reaching destinations) (Batty et al 2000;ElGeneidy and Levinson 2006;Farber et al 2013;Hansen 1959;Huang and Levinson 2012;Iacono et al 2008Iacono et al , 2010Ingram 1971;Kwan 2000;Levine et al 2012;Levinson and Parthasarathi 2012;Levinson 1998;Levinson and Krizek 2005;Liu and Zhu 2004;Miller 1991Miller , 1999Miller , 2005Miller and Wu 2000;Novak and Sullivan 2013;Owen et al 2012;Pirie 1979;Vickerman et al 1999;Wu and Miller 2001) explains network growth (which lines are built) (Bettencourt and West 2010;Bettencourt et al 2007;Erath et al 2009;Levinson and Karamalaputi 2003;Levinson 2012;Roth et al 2012;Southworth and Ben-Joseph 2003;Xie and Levinson 2011). Geurs and Wee (Geurs and Van Wee 2004) have defined four basic measures that accessibility analyses can cover: 1) location, 2) people, 3) infrastructure, and 4) utility.…”

Abstract:In 1863, the Metropolitan Railway of what came to be known as the London Underground successfully opened as the world's first subway. Its high ridership spawned interest in additional links. Entrepreneurs secured funding and then proposed new lines to Parliament for approval, though only some were actually approved. While putative rail barons may have conducted some economic analysis, the final decision lay with Parliament, which did not have modern transportation, economic, or geographic analysis tools available. How good were the decisions that Parliament made in approving Underground lines? This paper explores the role accessibility played in the decision to approve or reject proposed early London Tube schemes. It finds that maximizing accessibility to population (highly correlated with revenue and ridership) per expenditure largely explains Parliamentary approvals and rejections.

“…XZQ, with a terrestrial area of 25195 km 2 and a resident population of 16.86 million in 2014, is the most densely developed urban area in Fujian Province, and it is also the core area of the Western Taiwan Straits Economic Zone in China. Transportation within XZQ has developed rapidly since the completion of the first highway in Fujian Province in 1997, which is called the Quan-Xia highway.…”

“…Presently, the transportation of XZQ has formed the bunchy shape, including the Shen-Hai highway, Xia-Rong highway, Xia-Sha highway, Quan-Nan highway, Fu-Xia high-speed railway, Long-Xia high-speed railway, Xia-Shen high-speed railway, Ying-Xia railway, and Zhang-Quan-Xiao railway, G324 national road, and G319 national road. The length of highways in operation in XZQ was 26887 km in 2014, and the density of the road network was 106.7 km/100 km 2 . As a result of continuous improvements in the traffic system, economic exchange and interpersonal communication became more frequent in XZQ, and Urban Integration Planning was activated in 2011.…”

“…As a result of rapid development of transportation and increasing commuter demand, HCA has become one of the most important mechanisms of regional development and urban concentration [2] and one of the most documented terms in urban studies because of its important function in shortening the spatial and accelerating the exchange of products and personal labour [3], and it has been extended to other important concepts such as the one-hour metropolitan area, one-hour economic circle and one-hour life sphere. There are two focuses within the conventional literature: one deals with the characteristics of HCAs [1], the other addresses methods of demarcation [4].…”

Abstract. With the advance of urban integration in China, the hourly communication area has attracted significant attention during the development of urban agglomerations. Using ArcGIS 10.1, this study uses the data on traffic networks and data from surveys conducted in XiamenZhangzhou-Quanzhou Metropolitan Area, Fujian Province, in 2014 to demarcate the theoretical HCAs by applying the convex hull method, and establishes the actual HCAs according to the traffic waiting time. The analysis shows that the extent of the theoretical HCAs of XZQ is beyond the scope of the cities' domains, with areas of 15473.3 km 2 , 16356.7 km 2 and 19276.9 km 2 , respectively. Furthermore, this paper shows that the traffic waiting time in XZQ ranges from 31 to 61 min, resulting in the reductions in the actual HCAs of 91.7%, 82.9% and 83.9%, compared to the theoretical HCAs. There are only a few areas of intersection between neighbouring cities. Policies should not only pay more attention to the intra-urban public transit systems but also build adequate public transit terminals to facilitate passenger transfers, such as new metro or light rail systems.

Abstract. This paper applied MapInfo, the professional soft ware tool of GIS, integrated secondary exploiture combining with electronic maps, and made use of the exploiture flat roof Visual C++ as the tool of visualize development, transferred MapX, a control of MapInfo, integrated them. The paper designed the Inquiry System in Intelligent Transportation, which including query system of road information, query system of bus information, query system of district information. It can be carried out space analysis and query function based on GIS. Adopted SQL Server manage attribute data, by data binding, attribute data in SQL Server and victor picture data were combined.
