A probabilistic approach to calculate capacity of signalized intersections with a red light camera

In recent years, red light cameras (RLCs) have been installed at many signalized intersections. The main reason behind installing RLCs is to reduce intersection‐related accidents caused because of a driver's behavior to cross the intersection when the signal turns red. By nature, if the driver is aware of the presence of RLC his or her driving behavior is bound to change. This behavioral change, however, may be intentional or unintentional. This may influence the utilization of yellow intervals resulting in a possible increase in dilemma zone, which in turn, may reduce the service capacity of the intersection. To accurately capture this capacity reduction, we present a probabilistic approach to modify the saturation flow rate formula in the Highway Capacity Manual that is currently used to calculate the capacity of signalized intersections. We introduce a new factor in the saturation flow rate calculation called red light reduction factor, to account for the capacity reduction owing to RLCs. Using field data from Baltimore, Maryland, we establish a relationship for the red light reduction factor. We then show that capacity of RLC‐equipped intersections is generally lower than that without RLCs. Although the percentage reduction in capacity of a single intersection may not seem significant, the cumulative impact of such reduction in a heavily traveled road network may be quite significant, resulting in significant loss in travel time. In future works, the systemwide capacity reduction owing to the presence of RLCs can be studied in congested transportation networks. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

沥青路面裂纹的形成机理及扩展行为

沥青路面耐久性较差,容易出现低温开裂、疲劳开裂、车辙等问题,在外界荷载作用下,沥青路面微观裂纹逐渐发展为宏观裂纹.裂纹扩展会导致沥青路面服务能力变差,路面使用性能下降.以邢台邢清公路为例,在分析沥青路面裂纹破损类型的基础上,对沥青路面裂纹形成机理进行研究,应用模拟程序APCPPS2D进行了沥青路面裂纹扩展路径研究.     

南京地铁鸡鸣寺站地下连续墙深层水平位移特性研究

根据南京地铁鸡鸣寺站深基坑工程监测数据,分析了地下连续墙变形性状,对基坑施工过程进行了数值模拟,进一步分析了第四道混凝土支撑及深层支撑竖向间距对地下连续墙水平位移的影响。研究表明,该工程地下连续墙水平位移成抛物线型位移,最大水平位移位置下降到21.5 m后不再因开挖加深而下降;仅改变最后一道支撑位置对地下连续墙最终变形影响不大;合理采用混凝土支撑以及增加一道支撑可以有效控制地下连续墙的水平位移。

大型建(构)筑物整体移位技术在高铁建设中的应用

建筑物移位是指通过一定的工程技术手段,在保持建筑物整体性的条件下,改变建筑物的空间位置,包括平移、旋转、抬升、迫降等单项移位或组合移位。建筑物整体移位技术20世纪80年代传入我国。近年来,随着我国城市建设的大规模开展,此项技术得到了迅速发展,尤其是近十年来,随着PLC同步控制技术的应用,发展至今已趋于成熟。将这一技术发展至大型梁体的整体移位,进而应用到高铁建设中,可缩短工期,降低成本。     

The implications of travel profiles for transportation investment: The Bronx Center Project

Investment in transportation infrastructure is generally regarded as an effective means for inducing economic growth and employment in a region. However, the ability of such investments to achieve these objectives, to a large extent, depends on the degree to which travel results from these investments support or conflict with present travel patterns and needs in this region. Using this view as a basis, this paper analyzes travel conditions and choices in the Bronx New York, where large scale transportation and other development projects (commonly called the Bronx Center Project) are presently taking place. Using a large data base, composed of census tract information on socio-economic and travel behavior, the paper first examines the travel profile of the Bronx population, by estimating travel choice elasticities. On the basis of these elasticities it then assesses the impact of the Bronx Center Project on travel patterns and trends.     

Effect of variable message signs on driver speed behavior on a section of expressway under adverse fog conditions—A driving simulator approach

Variable message signs (VMS) are used to provide dynamic information and one current application is to show different speed limits under different conditions. As speed is an important contributor to road accidents and also affects driver speed behavior, the present study focuses on how effective traffic advisory information is when helping drivers to divert from potentially dangerous conditions. Graphical representation of an Expressway section made it easy to isolate the effects of speed etc. by drivers with information provided through VMS under adverse fog conditions. Understanding and reacting to the VMS system by drivers is essential for its success. If drivers do not react by changing speed behavior then the VMS system will fail and further implementation may cease. In this paper an Analysis of Variance model, which is appropriate to the proposed experimental conditions, is used to study how subjects (drivers) will perceive provided information and also to find the effect of VMS on driver speed behavior on the simulated Expressway section.
