Research on Passenger Flow Assignment of High-Speed Trains Based on Personalized Itinerary Choice

Under the condition that ticket fare for high-speed train could fluctuate around a benchmark price in China, aimed at predicting how the passengers will distribute among different trains given a ticket fare, the passenger flow assignment method for high-speed trains is studied. Different from the classical researches on the passenger flow assignment, by introducing a variable that represents the value of time, this research allows passengers to make their personalized choice between the principles of time minimization and expense minimization, so as to demonstrate how the passengers holding different time values respond to each ticket fare scheme. An equilibrium passenger flow assignment model based on personalized choice is built and an improved Monte-Carlo random simulation algorithm is designed for solving the model. The actual ticket sale data for Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway are used to verify the feasibility of the proposed model and algorithm. The passenger flow assignment results under various fare schemes show how the distribution of passenger flow changes with the adjustment of ticket fare.

Analysis of Supply and Demand to Enhance Educational Tourism Experience in The Smart Park of Yogyakarta, Indonesia

The Smart Park (well-known as Taman Pintar) as a major educational tourism destination in Jogjakarta offers a variety of tourism attractions that are very interesting for tourists. The main purpose of tourists visiting Smart Park is to get an educational tourism experience. A subjective experience raises a specific challenge for Smart Park toward the status of competitive destination. The purpose of this study is to analyze the aspects of educational tourism experience that are affected by tourism demand and supply. Data were collected by survey technique to 150 respondents and analyzed using path analysis. The results of analysis show that tourism demand and supply contributed to the variation of tourism activities by 45.1%, while the remaining was explained by other variables, such as National Budget, Local Budget, ticket sale, and cooperation with some stakeholders. Tourism supply had a higher effect than tourism demand. Tourism demand did not partially affect tourism experience. However, the results of the path analysis indicate that tourism supply had direct and indirect effects on tourism experience through the variation of tourism activities with indirect effect being dominant. In the management of Smart Park, there is still a gap between tourism demand and supply, so that the environment of tourism experience has not been created maximally.

Exploration and Implementation of Electronic Lottery Distribution System Based on Struts Framework

The amount of fixed telephone service usage is becoming much bigger, and the using of the fixed-line to buy lottery tickets is more convenient. So exports have achieved a management platform of fixed-line ticket sale system branch in the Struts framework implements. The system based on B/S architecture and uses MVC (model-view-controller) design pattern. The system can realize the user for personal lottery ticket purchase information query and management. It’s helpful for the administrator to unified payment platform of integrated information management. Under B/S architecture, the system uses the Struts framework design technology, which makes the system have good scalability, portability and maintainability. Users can use fixed-line ticket sale system in a more convenient and safe environment.

Interoperability between Distributed Systems and Web-Services Composition

An information system is a multi-axis system characterized by a “data” axis, a “behavioral” axis, and a “communication” axis. The data axis corresponds to the structural and schematic technologies used to store data into the system. The behavioral axis represents management and production processes carried out by the system and corresponding technologies. The processes can interact with the data to extract, generate, and store data. The communication axis relates to the network used to exchange data and activate processes between geographically distant users or machines. Nowadays, technologies required for interoperability are extended to deal with the semantic aspect of the information systems. The aim of the semantic axis is to take into account new aspects of the sharing of the data and the processes, such as the understanding of the data and the processes, the access security, and owner rights (OWL Services Coalition, 2006). Information system interoperation has emerged as a central design issue in Web-based information systems to allow data and service sharing among heterogeneous systems. Data heterogeneity stemming from the diversity of data formats or models used to represent and store information in the Web is a major obstacle to information systems interoperability. These data models range from the structured data models (network, relational, OO) found in traditional databases to flat files and emerging Web oriented semi-structured models. Information system interoperability aims at supporting the amalgamation autonomous heterogeneous systems to create integrated virtual environments or architectures in which information from multiple disparate sources can be accessed in a transparent and efficient manner. As an example of such integrated virtual systems, consider an airline reservation system based on the integration of a group of airlines reservation and ticket sale information systems. The specific airline systems provide various types of fares and special discount trips. That can be searched and compared to respond to user queries for finding the best available prices for specified flights.
