Given non-line of sight(NLOS) time delay in signal transmission caused by facilities and equipment shielding in tunnels and TOA measurement errors in both LFP database data and real-time data, this paper puts forth a database data de-noising algorithm based on distance threshold limitation and modified mean filtering(MMF), as well as a real-time data suppression algorithm based on speed threshold limitation and MMF.On this basis, a nearest neighboring data matching algorithm based on historical location and the speed threshold limitation is used to estimate personnel location and realize accurate personnel positioning.The results from both simulation and the experiment suggest that: compared with the basic LFP positioning method and the method that only suppresses real-time data error, the tunnel personnel positioning methods based on TOA and modified LFP positioning permits effectively eliminating error in TOA measurement, making the measured data close to the true positional data, and dropping the positioning error:the maximal positioning error in measurements from experiment drops by 9 and 3 m, respectively, and the positioning accuracy of 3 m is achievable in the condition used in the experiment.展开更多

However, there is still a debate on its validity in empirical applications. Previous studies even doubt the significance of the gravity p-median model. Using a case study of tertiary hospitals in Shenzhen, China, this study re-examines the difference between the gravity p-median model with the p-median model, by decomposing the difference between the two models into gravity rule and variant attraction. This study also proposes a modified gravity p-median model by incorporating a distance threshold. The empirical results support the validity of the gravity p-median model, and also reveal that only when the attractions of candidate facility locations are variable will the gravity p-median model lead to different results with the p-median model. The difference between the modified gravity p-median model and the gravity p-median model is also examined. Moreover, the impacts of the distance-decay parameter and distance threshold on solutions are investigated. Results indicate that a larger distance-decay parameter tends to result in a more dispersed distribution of optimal facilities and a smaller average travel time, and a smaller distance threshold can better promote the spatial equity of facilities. The proposed method can also be applied in studies of other types of facilities or in other areas.展开更多
