The promotion of the use of public transportation is a means of solving traffic and environmental problems. In European countries, trams are a common means of public transportation. There are also some areas in Japan where new installations of trams or the extension of existing tram lines has been considered, but these plans cannot be implemented because their effects cannot be predicted. This study uses the traffic simulator MATES, which employs a multiagent model, to do a virtual social experiment on an Okayama City tram railway extension issue actually under discussion in Okayama Prefecture. It assesses the effect of a modal shift from cars to trams caused by the increase in convenience that the changes in the road structure and the extension in the railway would bring about.

Promotion Planning

The global warming problem due to greenhouse gas emission has become very serious. Moreover, in the transportation section, the construction of a sustainable transportation system in the environment has been an important subject. Not only improvement of service level of modes, except those of private vehicles, but also consciousness for the environmental problem of an individual trip maker is important for eco-commuting promotion. Eco-consciousness can be changed under the influence of other people. The multi-agent simulation system for planning of ecocommuting promotion is developed using a social interaction model for eco-consciousness in this study. Modal shift is modeled by considering the result of a transport social experiment for eco-commuting promotion as reference. Influence of the promotion plan such as improvement of service level of public transport, promotion of individual eco-consciousness, and strengthening the interaction of individuals can be analyzed using the proposed model. Finally, it is concluded that the proposed multi-agent simulation with social interaction for eco-consciousness is useful for the planning of eco-commuting promotion.

The Impact

This research proposes an innovative approach to evaluate modal shift from the road-only to the combined sea-road transport in order to implement new policies and introduce a Decision Support System (DSS) for the transportation planner’s decision. The impact of these is carried out by using an innovative simulation tool which has the capability to simulate the real choice process of all stakeholders involved, specifically modelling the freight forwarder’s point of view. The model runs as a single-agent based simulation which uses a multimodal network with detailed zoning. The simulation tool, capable of simulating the assignment of the whole network simultaneously, consists of a path choice model and a mode choice model for each o/d pair considered, establishing o/d pairs suitable and not suitable for modal shift. Three policies have been designed and tested through the simulation tool with an application in the Italian context: (1) internalization of the external costs of heavy vehicles; (2) introduction of a bonus for shipping companies; (3) design of new Ro-Ro services. The most affecting policy concerns an increase of speed of some Ro-Ro services to 22 kn, proposing a good balance between the navigation costs and the potential demand attracted.

Transit stations are generally well known as nodes of spaces where percentage of people walking are relatively high. The issue is do more planning is actually given to create walkability. Creating walking led transit stations involves planning of walking distance, providing facilities like pathways, toilets, seating and lighting. On the other hand, creating walking led transit station for women uncover a new epitome. Walking becomes one of the most important forms of mobility for women in developing countries nowadays. Encouraging women to use public transportation is not just about another effort to promote the use of public transportation but also another great endeavour to reduce numbers of traffic on the road. This also means, creating an effort to control accidents rate, reducing carbon emission, improving health and eventually, developing the quality of life. Hence, in this paper, we sought first to find out the factors that motivate women to walk at transit stations in Malaysia. A questionnaire survey with 562 female user of Light Railway Transit (LRT) was conducted at LRT stations along Kelana Jaya Line. Both built and non-built environment characteristics, particularly distance, safety and facilities were found as factors that are consistently associated with women walkability. With these findings, the paper highlights the criteria  which are needed to create and make betterment of transit stations not just for women but also for walkability in general.

Phishing is a malicious and deliberate act of sending counterfeit messages or mimicking a webpage. The goal is either to steal sensitive credentials like login information and credit card details or to install malware on a victim’s machine. Browser-based cyber threats have become one of the biggest concerns in networked architectures. The most prolific form of browser attack is tabnabbing which happens in inactive browser tabs. In a tabnabbing attack, a fake page disguises itself as a genuine page to steal data. This paper presents a multi agent based tabnabbing detection technique. The method detects heuristic changes in a webpage when a tabnabbing attack happens and give a warning to the user. Experimental results show that the method performs better when compared with state of the art tabnabbing detection techniques.
