      <title>Reducing perceived urban rail transfer time with ordinal logistic regressions</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1680582</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In order to improve the transfers inside an Urban Rail Transit (URT) station between different rail transit lines, this research newly develops two Ordinal Logistic Regression (OLR) models to explore effective ways for saving the Perceived Transfer Time (PTT) of URT passengers, taking into account the difficulty of improving the transfer infrastructure. It is validated that the new OLR models are able to rationally explain probabilistically the correlations between PTT and its determinants. Moreover, the modelling analyses in this work have found that PTT will be effectively decreased if the severe transfer walking congestion is released to be acceptable. Furthermore, the congestion on the platform should be completely eliminated for the evident reduction of PTT. In addition, decreasing the actual transfer waiting time of the URT passengers to less than 5 minutes will obviously decrease PTT.]]></description>

      <title>Injury severity prediction of traffic collision by applying a series of neural networks: The city of London case study</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1680581</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This paper focuses on predicting injury severity of a driver or rider by applying multi-layer perceptron (MLP), support vector machine (SVM), and a hybrid MLP-SVM method. By correlating the injury severity results and the influences that support their creation, this study was able to determine the key influences affecting the injury severity. The result indicated that the vehicle type, vehicle manoeuvre, lack of necessary crossing facilities for cyclists, 1st point of impact, and junction actions had a greater effect on the likelihood of injury severity. Following this indication, by maximising the prediction accuracies, a comparison between the models was made through exerting the most sensitive predictors in order to evaluate the models’ performance against each other. The outcomes specified that the proposed hybrid model achieved a significant improvement in terms of prediction accuracy compared with other models.]]></description>

      <title>Simplified Transit Procedure in Railway Transport</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/878688</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The current transit procedure in railway transport carried out on the basis of the Customs Act of the Republic of Croatia is applied only up to the border; that is, the issued documents and guarantees are valid only up to the border and by joining the Convention on Common transit procedure (as part of the European Union), the Republic of Croatia will also have to implement the regulations and rules of Simplified transit procedure valid in each of the 30 member states. In international railway traffic, the transport of goods is regulated by the Convention concerning International Carriage by Rail-COTIF and usage of the CIM waybill (Contract for International Carriage of Goods by Rail). If goods are transported in Simplified transit procedure, the formalities regarding the transport of goods performed by rail carriers using the international waybill CIM will be significantly simplified and accelerated. In principle there are no delays due to customs on the borders when crossing the EU borders and borders of the Convention member states, contributing greatly to the acceleration of the transport of goods, reduction of waiting costs and paperwork, as well as influence on the schedule reliability.]]></description>

      <title>Managing Logistic Chains on the Adriatic-Baltic Route</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/878589</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Due to today’s globalization and driven needs of the competitive freight transport, as a result of the opening of new markets, the necessity for the introduction of a completely new service, such as a special container train from Koper to Gdynia, may arise unexpectedly. The adaptability of the railway operators to the needs of the customer (i.e. the user of the transport service) must be available. The core of the problem of the introduction of such a new service lies mainly in the confrontation between the needs and requirements of the users of the transportation services and their capabilities.]]></description>

      <title>Traffic on the Croatian Inland Waterways in the Context of the European Programme NAIADES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/878591</link>
      <description><![CDATA[On 17 January 2006, the European Commission accepted the Action Program NAIADES for the promotion of navigation on inland waterways on the European Union territory for the period 2006-2013. The program has been harmonized with White Paper guidelines and recommends joining of the countries who are currently not EU members, including Croatia. The NAIADES action program is based on 5 strategic, interdependent areas: market improvement of market conditions; fleet-fleet modernization; personnel policy-development of human resources; image-creation of a better image and infrastructure-realization of infrastructure preconditions. This paper analyzes the basic hypotheses of the NAIADES action program in order to shed light on the possible implementation of its guidelines regarding development and promotion of traffic on the Croatian inland waterways.]]></description>

      <title>Inland Ports in the Republic of Croatia: Approvals or Port Activities Instead of Concessions</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/878592</link>
      <description><![CDATA[According to the 1998 Act on Inland Ports, the right to perform all port activities within inland ports of the Republic of Croatia is given on the basis of concession, obtained through bidding. It has been noted in practice that modern business processes and traffic flows are more dynamic than before when classic concession relations were created. Also, types and amounts of cargo are changing every few years, which is followed by quick adjustments, instead of working according to rigid and long-term defined decisions and concession contracts. Furthermore, the practice has shown for some activities that the number of port providers (such as ship suppliers, port-agencies, and freight forwarders) should not be limited. This means that the system of a limited number of port providers is important only for the activities that require location within a port, as the port area is physically limited. Therefore, the new Act on Navigation and Inland Ports from 2007, whose framework has been completed by sub-law acts during 2008, has replaced the complex concession system for performing activities in inland ports by a more liberal approval system. On the basis of these, higher dynamics of work of port providers is enabled as well as easier adjustment to market conditions. In addition, the main limiting factor that determines the number of port users becomes the available physical space within a port, which provides undisturbed competition, along with larger offer of port services that do not require that space. It is also important to point out that the new Act specifically includes distribution and cargo logistics, processing and improvement of goods, and industrial activities including production that enable complete economic utilization of port capacities into the existing port activities, thus significantly changing the role of the port itself as a logistic center.]]></description>

      <title>Outsourcing Logistics at Petrol Stations in Slovenia</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/878590</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The environmental disburdening by means of outsourcing logistics (sorting, bundling, transport) is today significantly more present, since this has been regulated by the law provisions on environmental protection and the economic reasons. Outsourcing logistics in this field with its activities such as improvement in assembling separate fraction, introduction of new (i.e., additional boxes, usage of specific vehicles for collection and dispatch), reestablishment of information systems, and organization of a center for disburdening of the environment (sorting, bundling, and waste disposal) is contributing largely to a better accomplishment of the mission of logistics rationalization and adaptation to new law claims on environmental protection.]]></description>

      <title>A Simple Throw Model for Frontal Vehicle-Pedestrian Collisions</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/878588</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This paper discusses a simple theoretical throw model for frontal vehicle-pedestrian collisions. The model is based on the simple assumption that pedestrian movement after impact can be approximated by the movement of a mass point. Two methods of vehicle-pedestrian collision reconstruction are discussed: one knowing only the throw distance and the other when also impact to ground contact distance is known. The model is verified by field data available in the literature and by comportment with full scale numerical simulation.]]></description>

      <title>Credibility and Authenticity of Digitally Signed Videos in Traffic</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/878687</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This paper presents the possibilities of ensuring the credibility and authenticity of surveillance camera video by digital signing, using the public key infrastructure as part of an interoperable traffic and information system in future intelligent transport systems. The surveillance camera video is a sequence of individual frames and a unique digital print; hash value is calculated for each of these. By encryption of the hash values of the frames using private encryption key of the surveillance center, digital signatures are created and stored in the database. The surveillance center can issue a copy of the video to all the interested subjects for scientific and research work and investigation. Regardless of the scope, each subsequent manipulation of the video copy contents will change the hash value of all the frames. The procedure of determining the authenticity and credibility of videos is reduced to the comparison of the hash values of the frames stored in the database of the surveillance center with values obtained from interested subjects such as the traffic experts and investigators or surveillance-security services.]]></description>

      <title>On Transportation System With Deterministic Service Time</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/876709</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Most transportation systems behave as M/M/1 queuing type which is widely explored throughout the scientific literature. Conversely, there are a few actual examples of transportation systems with deterministic service time. In this paper the authors explore one such system and propose solution finding for tactical port operational problem by queuing model and heuristic method. A heuristic approach is developed as an alternative to a mathematical model solution. Between these 2 methods, good solutions of known quality are provided quickly. Through simple example of bulk loading terminal, defined as M/D/1 system, comparison of the heuristic solutions to the mathematical model indicates that the corresponding results match closely. On the basis of the experiment, it is assumed that the same heuristic with a slight modification would give acceptable solution for a real life M/D/S problem where search for feasible solution by mathematical model is a difficult and unacceptable task in practical use.]]></description>

      <title>Roundabout Arm Capacity Determined by Microsimulation and Discrete Functions Technique</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/876710</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This paper demonstrates the influence of multi-channel pedestrian flow on the actual capacity of a 1-lane roundabout, using microsimulation and discrete functions. The proposed model is based on the theory of the expected time gap between the units of pedestrian traffic flow, which have the priority when crossing the arm of the roundabout. The proposed model represents an upgrade of prior research in the field of modeling traffic flows in the 1-lane roundabout. Apart from the multi-channel pedestrian flow the disturbances caused by circular traffic flow of motorized vehicles at the roundabout are also considered. In this way the model can better illustrate the real conditions in traffic. A simulation analysis has been performed on the roundabout arm at Koroska Street in Maribor. The results of the analysis have indicated a relatively high reserve of the actual throughput capacity for the main motorized traffic flow in the analyzed roundabout arm. The presented model represents a practicable and adaptable tool for planning the roundabout capacity in practice and for the sensitivity analysis of individual variables on the throughput capacity of the roundabout.]]></description>

      <title>Planning and Decision-Making to Increase Productivity on a Maritime Container Terminal</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/876781</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This article describes orientations in optimization of operations on a maritime container terminal. With the application of an adequate model for forecasting, planning and simulating it is possible to increase the productivity and optimize the capacity of the terminal. The emphasis is mainly on setting up the decisionmaking model, in order to raise productivity in all subsystems of the maritime container terminal. Management of a maritime container terminal is a complex process, which includes a vast number of different decisions. Management must develop elements and strategies for checking the productivity and its rise, which can only be achieved through optimization of the entire system. With knowledge about new technologies, operational processes, forecast methods and simulation it is possible to achieve the easiest usage of different strategies for improving productivity. This is particularly valid for terminals, where physical extension of the terminal is almost impossible and further development of the system is possible only by searching internal sources. Therefore, management of a maritime container terminal must develop an appropriate decision support model, in order to make an adequate support to strategic decisions. These decisions relate basically to the assessment of the best development and optimization decisions and on application of proposed solutions in the infrastructure and suprastructure of the terminal.]]></description>

      <title>Transportation Cost Assessment by Means of a Monte Carlo Simulation in a Transshipment Model</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/876711</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The task of transport management is to organize the transport of goods from a number of sources to a number of destinations with minimum total costs. The basic transportation model assumes direct transport of goods from a source to a destination with constant unit transportation costs. In practice, however, goods are frequently transported through several transit points where they need to be transshipped. In such circumstances transport planning and organization become increasingly complex. This is especially noticeable in water transport. Most of the issues are directly connected to port operations, as they are the transshipment hubs. Since transportation is under a number of influences, in today’s turbulent operating conditions the assumption on fixed unit transportation costs cannot be taken as realistic. In order to improve decisionmaking in the transportation domain, this paper will present a stochastic transshipment model in which cost estimate is based on Monte Carlo simulation. Simulated values of unit costs are used to devise an adequate linear programming model, the solving of which determines the values of total minimum transportation costs. After repeating the simulation for a sufficient number of times, the distribution of total minimum costs can be formed, which is the basis for the pertinent confidence interval estimation. It follows that the design, testing, and application of the presented model requires a combination of quantitative optimization methods, simulation, and elements of inferential statistics, all with the support of computer and adequate software.]]></description>
