A hybrid approach based on SERVQUAL and fuzzy TOPSIS for evaluating transportation service quality

Managing service quality is vital to retain customer satisfaction and augment revenues for any business organization. Often it is difficult to assess service quality due to lack of quantifiable measures and limited data. In this paper, we present a hybrid approach based on SERVQUAL and fuzzy TOPSIS for evaluating service quality of urban transportation systems. The proposed approach consists of three steps. The first step involves development of a SERVQUAL based questionnaire to collect data for measuring transportation service quality. The participants provide linguistic assessments to rate the service quality criteria and the alternatives. In step 2, the linguistic ratings are combined through fuzzy TOPSIS to generate an overall performance score for each alternative. The alternative with the highest score is finally chosen. In step 3, sensitivity analysis is conducted to evaluate the influence of criteria weights on the decision making process.The strength of the proposed approach is its practical applicability and ability to provide solution under partial or lack of quantitative information. An application of the proposed approach for evaluation of service quality of metro in Montreal is provided.

A MEMS affinity glucose sensor using a biocompatible glucose-responsive polymer

We present a MEMS affinity sensor that can potentially allow long-term continuous monitoring of glucose in subcutaneous tissue for diabetes management. The sensing principle is based on detection of viscosity changes due to affinity binding between glucose and poly(acrylamide-ran-3-acrylamidophenylboronic acid) (PAA-ran-PAAPBA), a biocompatible, glucose-specific polymer. The device uses a magnetically driven vibrating microcantilever as a sensing element, which is fabricated from Parylene and situated in a microchamber. A solution of PAA-ran-PAAPBA fills the microchamber, which is separated from the surroundings by a semi-permeable membrane. Glucose permeates through the membrane and binds reversibly to the phenylboronic acid moiety of the polymer. This results in a viscosity change of the sensing solution, which is obtained by measuring the damped cantilever vibration using an optical lever setup, allowing determination of the glucose concentration. Experimental results demonstrate that the device is capable of detecting glucose at physiologically relevant concentrations from 27 mg/dL to 324 mg/dL. The glucose response time constant of the sensor is approximately 3 min, which can be further improved with device design optimization. Excellent reversibility and stability are observed in sensor responses, as highly desired for long-term, stable continuous glucose monitoring.     

Gold nanowire array electrode for non-enzymatic voltammetric and amperometric glucose detection

The non-enzymatic voltammetric and amperometric detection of glucose using a gold nanowire array electrode is described. The voltammetric detection of glucose was performed by cyclic and differential-pulse voltammetry. The detection of glucose by partial and direct oxidation of glucose during the anodic and cathodic potential sweeps was shown in cyclic voltammetry. An unusual decrease in overpotential for partial oxidation of glucose on a Au NW array electrode was observed. A linear differential-pulse voltammetric response for partial oxidation of glucose was observed up to a glucose concentration of at least 20 mM with a sensitivity of 41.9 μA mM⁻¹ cm⁻² and detection limit below 30 μM (signal-to-noise ratio of 3) for glucose oxidation at low potentials, where the influence of possible intermediates can be avoided. The amperometric response was also linear up to a glucose concentration of 10 mM with a sensitivity of 309.0 μA mM⁻¹ cm⁻². The wide dynamic range and high sensitivity, selectivity and stability, as well as good biocompatibility of the Au NW electrode make it promising for the fabrication of non-enzymatic glucose sensors.

Visualizing Waypoints‐Constrained Origin‐Destination Patterns for Massive Transportation Data

Origin‐destination (OD) pattern is a highly useful means for transportation research since it summarizes urban dynamics and human mobility. However, existing visual analytics are insufficient for certain OD analytical tasks needed in transport research. For example, transport researchers are interested in path‐related movements across congested roads, besides global patterns over the entire domain. Driven by this need, we propose waypoints‐constrained OD visual analytics, a new approach for exploring path‐related OD patterns in an urban transportation network. First, we use hashing‐based query to support interactive filtering of trajectories through user‐specified waypoints. Second, we elaborate a set of design principles and rules, and derive a novel unified visual representation called the waypoints‐constrained OD view by carefully considering the OD flow presentation, the temporal variation, spatial layout and user interaction. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our interface with two case studies and expert interviews with five transportation experts.
