EVALUATING HIERARCHICAL DIVERSITY AND SUSTAINABILITY OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT: FROM METROPOLIS TO A WEAK TRANSPORT DEMAND AREA IN WESTERN JAPAN

Evaluating Hierarchical Diversity and Sustainability of Public Transport: From Metropolis to a Weak Transport Demand Area in Western Japan

A variety of transport options must be utilized to enhance public transportation sustainability.Previous studies have rarely developed quantitative methods for evaluating the performance of transport diversity.Thus, this study proposes measurement indicators to evaluate transport diversity on the basis of biodiversity indicators.For the hierarchy o

Structural layer applicability of semi-flexible material for rutting resistance: A coupled temperature-mechanical approach.

Semi-flexible material (SFM) is produced by pouring cement grouting material into the asphalt concrete skeleton.It exhibits both characteristics of cement and asphalt, increasing structural stiffness and reducing rutting.Extensive studies have shown that the temperature load coupling effect is one of the leading causes of road rutting.However, few
