Research on the Market Economic Theories in Transportation Areas WANG Qing- yun 2003, 3(2): 4-7 .  Abstract ( )   PDF (441KB) ( )   The theories and methods of developing transportation during the planned economy system were played a role in the particular time and economic environment, but the market economy system is very different from the planned economy system. It is necessary to develop the new theories to make the guide to deal with the transport and economic development after entering into th e market economy. It is very important for set up the theories system of transport science according to market economy theories. The applied theories of the transport field should be set up on the substantial phenomenon of transportation, to give the hypothesis using the economic theory，and then will suppose to explain the transport areas, forming the transport theories in order to guide and establish the theories system of the transport in China.

A Study of Route Choice Behavior of Drivers Based on the Evolutionary Game under the Condition of Traffic Flow Guidance LI Zhen-long 2003, 3(2): 23-27 .  Abstract ( )   PDF (444KB) ( )   The traffic flow guidance is a game process, during which every driver is continually ameliorating his strategy in order to get more benefit. Accordingly, the self-organization happens between marco-structure of the traffic flow guidance and the micro-activity of drivers. The evolutionary process of trffic flow guidance is analyzed using evolutionary game and the evolutionary model of route choice behavior of drivers is proposed and analyzed in order to provide theoretic support for guidance strategy in this paper.

Theoretical Analysis of Congestion Princing Based on Maximizing Social Surplus CHENG Lin, WANG Wei, SHAO Yun-hong 2003, 3(2): 47-50 .  Abstract ( )   PDF (487KB) ( )   On the theory of optimizing the social surplus, congestion pricing equals to the social marginal cost of the corresponding link over urban road network. The strategy of congestion pricing might trade off the effect of external diseconomy caused by network congestion, and the price of congestion is tantamount to the difference between social and private marginal costs. The implementation of congestion pricing brings to the maximization of social surplus, but leads the loss of users’surplus and causes the problems in social equity.

On Calibration of the Gravity Model During Traffic Forecast CHU Qin, CHEN Shao-kuan 2003, 3(2): 51-56 .  Abstract ( )   PDF (478KB) ( )   Gravity model has been widely used in traffic forecast due to its simple framework and maneuverability. Generally, a calibration process is necessary before any gravity model is to be applied in practice. This paper reviews the calibration methods of gravity models, such as the least-square regression and trial-and-trial method, and their tests such as the T-test. Through case studies with various methods, the author identifies the differeces among calibration methods and their applicability as well. Based on analysis to the traffic situation of China and the characteristics of the models, the paper advances some measurements for their improvements in practice and finally concludes the application of the gravity model.

On the Relationship Between the Transportation Industry and Economic Growth ZHAO Jian, YANG Yi 2003, 3(2): 65-71 .  Abstract ( )   PDF (690KB) ( )   This paper tries to explain the relationship between the transportation industry and economic growth. In fact this research is a part of the issue related with division of labor in economics, and is a fundamental problem of economics. There is no deep research in the interaction mechanism between division of labor among industries and market scale until now, in the mechanism of how institutional arrangement push the development of transportation industry, and in further problem about increasing return. In tradition economics, there is no theoretical frame for analyzing the internal mechanisms among economic growth, transportation infrastructure, and institutional arrangement. This paper based on the facts of American economic growth in the 19 century, which are the institutional arrangement induce the development of transportation industry, then which industry induce economic growth, and economic growth further benefit the development of the transportation industry, to probe the above theoretical problems.
