Behaviour Modelling Summer School 2018

2018年9月17日

(M1 students) Mr. Kawai, Mr. Ogawa, Mr. Muro and Mr. Shiroma participated in the Behaviour Modelling Summer School (@Univ. of Tokyo). We constructed an activity-based model that represents an individual’s all-day behavior. It was a Nested Logit model consisting of activity pattern selection, activity time selection (morning, noon, and evening), destination selection, and transportation mode selection. The team received high marks for building a large-scale model system with a total of 10 nests, and was ranked fourth overall (out of 17 teams). We would like to thank the Hato Laboratory of the University of Tokyo for serving as the organizer of the competition.

We also received the Kozumi Prize, which is awarded to the team with the best mathematical modeling. The prize was a bottle of locally brewed sake from Kozumi, Tottori Prefecture. Below is a photo of us with a team from Kobe University, which won the same prize.

TSU Summer Seminar 2018

2018年8月29日

[2018/08/25~08/28]

TSU’s annual summer seminar, jointly organized by five TSU laboratories, was held at Sarugakyo Onsen in Minakami Town, Gunma Prefecture. This year, we had research presentations mainly by M2 students, lectures by professors, and interactive discussions. From our laboratory, (M2 students) Mr. Hirabayashi, Ms. Kaneko, Mr. Imaoka, Mr. Suzuki, and (M1 student) Ms. Salsabia presented their research. It was a valuable opportunity for us to listen to and discuss presentations by professors and students from other laboratories, and we believe that it provided a good stimulus for our future research activities.

Lab OB Party

2018年7月23日

[2018/07/21]

We held a reunion mainly for students who belonged to our laboratory from 2009 to 2014. Many alumni/alumnae attended the party and had a nostalgic time. It was a pleasure to hear their successes and experiences. We are looking forward to hearing more happy experiences when we hold the next meeting!

Symposium “Attractiveness of Railroads and Railroad Routes in Tokyo Area – Challenges and Future Prospects”

2018年7月21日

[2018/07/20]

We participated in the symposium, “Attractiveness of Railroads and Railroad Routes in the Tokyo Area – Challenges and Future Prospects”, held by the Transportation Research Institute (TRI).

The symposium included a lecture on the issue of declined population in the Tokyo area, introductions of initiatives by six railroad companies in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and a panel discussion with experts on these initiatives. The population of the Tokyo metropolitan area is expected to continue to increase at least until 2045, and the forecast has been updated to show that the problem of population decline is not expected to arrive anytime soon. I felt that the railroad companies should focus on something else (strengthening connections with other mobility?) rather than developing new businesses to prepare for the decline in population. A rescue center in the city in the event of a disaster, etc.).

I also thought it would be interesting to see what Mr. Hiroshi Naito (architect and professor emeritus at the University of Tokyo) would like to do with the “What do railroad operators want to do? I was impressed by Mr. Shuyo Ishikawa’s comment, “Stations are places that convey core contents, so I would like them to think more about how to build stations, without taking advantage of their potential.

Transportation and Traffic Management for Tokyo 2020 Games

2018年7月21日

[2018/07/19]

We participated in the 141st City Planning Roundtable “Transportation and Traffic Management for Tokyo 2020 Games”. The lecture was given by Mr. Masayuki Kanda, who is also a part-time lecturer at our college.

I was interested in TDM (Transportation Demand Management) and TSM (Transportation System Management), because I had been studying MFD, a theory to understand urban traffic conditions on a macro scale, but I was disappointed that I could not hear what specific measures would be taken. It seems that the goal of road traffic management is to reduce traffic by 15% on weekdays. I am looking forward to seeing how it will be realized. (Hirabayashi)
