Estimating rebalancing activities and vehicle use for existing station-based bike share systems
Rebalancing is an important process in bike share system (BSS) operation. Due to the lack of data on the rebalancing operation, existing studies have to rely on strong assumptions for system sustainability evaluation and efficiency improvement. To address this gap, this study proposed a framework to estimate rebalancing activities and rebalancing vehicle-miles-traveled using public data. Applying the framework to BSSs in Chicago, Boston, and Los …
Do we trust humans or AI more? — Experimental evidence on individual and group trust behavior
Trust is a fundamental element of economic exchange, shaping interactions not only between individuals but also among groups. Prior literature shows that the dynamics of trust can vary systematically depending on whether decisions are made individually or collectively. In light of the increasing deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the question arises as to whether these patterns extend to interactions involving non-human agents. Our study…

Modality Bias Calibration Network via Information Disentanglement for Visible–Infrared Person Reidentification
Visible–infrared person reidentification (VI-ReID) in social surveillance systems involves analyzing social behavior using nonoverlapping cross-modality camera sets. It often has poor retrieval performance under modality gap. One way to alleviate such the modality discrepancy is to learn shared person features that are generalizable across different modalities. However, because of significant differences in color between the visible and infrared …

Application of Social Choice Theory to Modify the Value Measure of Health Systems
Confirmatory Factor Analysis of Ordinal Variables With Misspecified Models
Ordinal variables are common in many empirical investigations in the social and behavioral sciences. Researchers often apply the maximum likelihood method to fit structural equation models to ordinal data. This assumes that the observed measures have normal distributions, which is not the case when the variables are ordinal. A better approach is to use polychoric correlations and fit the models using methods such as unweighted least squares (ULS)…
