    This Research seeks some sort of possibility that urban railways would become well known and popular by the citizen in developing countries. The research has been designed to measure how people in South-East Asian countries could be interested in urban railway journals, which are very popular in Japan and England. The research group has published two editions of urban railway journals focusing only on South-East Asian countries. After the publication, another surveys were conducted again in Thailand. The analysis results of the two surveys show us that unknown brand-new travel modes and Japanese ones could attract more people. In addition, attitudes to public transportation was found generally quite high. Therefore, the research concludes that these journals could be very informative and impressive for various age strata. This kind of activities could enhance the modal shift especially from private modes to public transport mode.

    During the term of this grant, the researchers develop the survey methods for designing strategic mobility management measures in developing countries where current and potential private car/motorcycle owners are increasing and modal shift to MRT(Mass Rapid Transit) and BRT(Bus Rapid Transit) is strongly required. Based on the surveys in Manila (in 2012) , Ho Chi Minh City (in 2013 and 2014) and Lahore (2013 and 2014), researchers finally make a standardized questionnaire format to grasp intentions of using both public transport and private transport rationally focusing the service level of transport and images of each mode.

    In this fiscal year, the following two types of studies were conducted. (1)Comparative analysis of group discrete choice models in case of household vehicle type choice : Five operational models related to group discrete choice are dealt with : Multi-linear Model, Autocracy Model, Max-Min Model, Max-Max Model, and Minimum Endorsement Model. Based on a revealed preference data collected with respect to household car ownership and use in Hiroshima metropolitan area in 2004, it was confirmed that the model accuracies are all sufficiently high, but the differences are not significantly large. This suggests that there might exist several decision-making rules in this case study. It is also made clear that the sensitivity of vehicle body price in the multi-linear model is the lowest than that in other models, and the price sensitivity differs across vehicles. Therefore, in the application to policy analysis, one needs to carefully select the appropriate models. (2)Analysis of household residential choice based on a web-based stated preference survey : This study conducts a web-based stated preference survey to investigate households' preferences for moving to the assumed residential areas along the Astramline, a transit system in Hiroshima City in 2005. The respondents were asked to first report their actual group decision-making methods with respect to some major choice situations within their households. They were further asked to first separately, and then jointly choose the most preferred residential area and the commuting travel mode from a choice set, which also includes "not-move" as an alternative. It is found that joint decisions lead to the changes of members' preferences in about 40% of the household. It is also concluded that high-rising housing close to the Astramline could attract more people to live in and consequently contribute to the effective use of the transit system.

    This research project aims to develop evaluation methods of transportation project based on subjective values In 2002, this project aims to monetarily evaluate customers' subjective values including satisfaction with Low-Floor Light Rail Vehicle (LRV) by applying Contingent Valuation Method (CVM). Original surveys were conducted in Hiroshima targeted on tram users and residents along the tram route, A new method correcting the biases inherent in willingness-to-pay responses is proposed. As a result, it is found that the customer satisfaction for getting on and off the LRT would be improved by the introduction of the LRV. Moreover, a new method proposed in this study has capability to correct biases caused by survey design and to indicate the interval of the true subjective values In 2003, this project attempts to explore the sources of respondents' uncertainty regarding their willingness to pay (WTP) in CVM (Contingent Valuation Method). To capture the uncertainty in respondents' responses, the concept of certainty level for dichotomous choice response is introduced in CVM survey proposed in the previous year. Furthermore, an alternative approach based on fuzzy logic (i.e, fuzzy-CVM approach) is newly developed to incorporate the uncertainty into the WTP estimates. The approach can tackle the irreversible effects of WTP and WNTP (willingness not to pay). Moreover this paper addresses how to estimate the upper and lower values of WTP. Throughout an empirical analysis in Japan, it is shown that the respondents' WNTP is more sensitive to both bid amount and confidence level than the WTP. It is concluded that the Fuzzy-CVM can improve the reliability of the conventional CVM

    This research is aimed at put an evaluation system to practical use, which can measure the effect of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) as a proper travel demand inductive policy in local towns by applying our recent theoretical studies to practical road networks. For that purpose, the following studies have been done ; 1)to develop travel behavior models which can rationally consider the effects of ITS service use, 2)to develop micro-simulation methods, 3)to evaluate advanced transportation information system and 4)to develop the evaluation system. In the concrete, SP surveys were carried out concerning offering of various ITS user service and information. Based on the collected data, mode choice models were developed considering information acquisition behavior (i.e. information instrument choice and information acquisitive intention models). These models were derived from r-NL model which is a discrete choice model based on relative utility maximization theory. They have advantages which can estimate the effect of multi-modal information offer. That is, these models can estimate information acquisition behavior by different information offered, utility effects on mode choice and influence on mode choice by obtained information. Using these models, the effects of different offered service on mode choice was examined by simulation analysis. As a result, it was confirmed that incremental effects by recognized information is different over obtained information types and that shares of public transport increase by obtaining multi-modal information. Accordingly, it is concluded that this system can estimate individual travel behavior after offering information and the evaluation for advanced information system as a TDM policy can be properly measured.

    本研究では、生産工学、輸送工学、交通工学、地域計画の分野から見たリサイクル物流の問題点を議論し、相互の関連性の共通理解を踏まえて今後の研究課題を抽出・整理することを第1の目的とした。その際、自動車、家電、建設産業などの先進的な企業等へのヒアリングや実務者の講演を実施し、実際的な議論を行うことができた。以上の議論を踏まえ、消費者や小売業のリサイクル行動および企業内における物流、在庫、生産の機能を統合化した概念モデルを構築と、それらの主要な関連関係を数量的に考察するためのシミュレーションモデルの構築を第2の目的とした。しかし消費者のリサイクル行動に関するデータの蓄積はなく、数量的な検討を行うことが困難であることがわかり、概念モデルに関する検討を行うにとどまっている。第3の目的は、リサイクルの進展が物流拠点・生産拠点の配置に及ぼす影響を明らかにすることであり、在庫コストを考慮した物流ネットワークの配置計画モデルのレビューを行い、日本国内の交通網データ、立地コストデータを当てはめて、立地行動のシミュレーションを行うことができた。第4の目的として、物流と生産の協調方策を提案してその効果を分析することとしていたが、システム全体の数量的な検討は困難であることから、再資源の生産活動への導入を考えた場合の企業の在庫管理モデルを集中的に開発した。 以上の研究の結果、対象とする製品によってリサイクルの形態が大きく異なるため、一般的なモデルを提案することは困難であるが、代表的な製品を取り上げた定量的な検討が必要であることがわかった。また、回収品と製品の荷姿や発生頻度が大きく異なることから、同一のトラックを用いた往復輸送は実際的でないため、拠点配置の問題も、既存の立地モデルに静脈側の物流コストを足しこむことによりある程度分析できることがわかった。

    (1)「社会的圧力最小化投資行動」の検証昨年度に構築した「サービス-コストサブモデル」を用いて、東京圏、関西圏の大手民鉄事業者9社を対象に、各社の1967年以降の5カ年ごとの設備投資実績を表現することで、以下のことを明らかにした。・事業者は、単位サービス改善に対する限界費用が5円/分前後の水準で設備投資を行ってきた。・どの事業者も同様程度の限界費用で設備投資をしていることから、事業者は、利用者の時間価値がこの値前後であると認知して設備投資を行ってきたと考えられる。・ただしこの値は、他の交通モードにおける時間価値に比べて費用に低い値である。(2)「社会的圧力最小化投資行動モデル」から導かれる鉄道政策に対する提言鉄道事業者が設備投資を決定しそれを実行できるときとは以下のときであると言える。「当該事業者内の利用者間での内部補助が、利用者の感覚、制度の運用面の2点から見て容認されやすいとき(なぜなら、設備投資資金の回収が、基本的に、当該事業者の利用者間での内部補助(路線(区間)間/時間帯間/時代間)に依存しているため)」。またそれらの事業実施の結果としてサービスが向上(混雑率が低下)するのは、a)減価償却費の範囲内でサービス改善が可能な場合b)需要の伸びによる収益増加分(平均運営費用低減分も含む)を財源にして需要の伸び以上の容量増加投資が行える場合、などごく限定された場合に限られる。従って、鉄道事業者にとっての設備投資の実施可能性の高さと、鉄道利用者にとっての事業の必要性・逼迫性(=プロジェクトの有効性)とは、必ずしも一致しない。従って、必要性の高い事業が実施可能となるような制度が必要である。

    In case of break down of water supply system by earthquake, use of ground water for drinking and utilities strongly helps emergent water distribution work, especially in the medium-size cities where huge investment for earth-quake proof water pipe line is not affordable. Ground water, however, can be contaminated by the break of sewage system, and its quality must be checked before use for drinking. In this study, we have studied two points concerning on emergent water supply: Ground water quality simulation system to increase the usability of it as drinking water, and water distribiition planning system. For the first viewpoints, this study proposes a procedure to select small number of test wells in order to diagnose the ground water quality of other wells in the region economically, based on the correlation among the wells. The procedure simulates transfer of contamination under every possible destruction pattern and evaluates expected water distnbution cost for the people around the risky wells. For the second purpose, we formulate the emergent water supply problem as a compound problem of a facility location problem to determine water supplying points, and a vehicle routing problem. The former is a problem. The former is a problem minimizes the number of supplying water points with the condition of covering of all residence places within the limit distance for water carrying. The latter is a problem which makes minimizes the total vehicle distance to distribute water to all water supplying points detemined above the facility location problem. Using heuristic methods, a calculation procedure to propose efficient water supply work in an emergency is established We apply this procedure to the Saijo area in Higashi-Hiroshima City. The influence of the destructions of water storages and bridges on the water supply work is calculated, and the effects of the pre-disaster earthquake-proof countermeasures for these facilities are analyzed.

    The objective of this study is to develop dynamic models based on stated preference (SP) panel data. After three years study, the following research results are obtained. 1. Development of SP dynamic models The seven period panel data including SP data in 1987, 88, 90, 93 and 94 before the opening of the new light railway in Hiroshima, and RP data in 1994 and 97 are used in this analysis. It was clarified that the prediction accuracy and problems of SP models. 2. Time Series Analysis of Influence of TDM Measures The changes in participants and non-participants travel behaviors after introducing time spreading TDM measures, such as flexible time system and staggered working hours. It was found that there exist the adjusting and stable processes of travel behavior. The delay of drivers' responses against TDM measures appeared in traffic congestion.
