淤泥土细观渗透固结实验研究

吹填淤泥粘粒含量高,细观结构的高孔隙比却表现为宏观的小渗透系数两个矛盾的组合.为了研究吹填土固结问题,对其细观结构及细观渗流本质进行试验研究.以深圳大铲湾吹填淤泥为样本进行了微观试验研究,研究指出:吹填淤泥土为明显絮状结构,孔隙率大,孔洞较多,颗粒边界强结合水水膜明显;地基处理后的淤泥大孔径孔隙明显减少,小孔隙也被堵塞,结构变得更致密;而渗透试验的结果表明其渗透系数在10-7～10-8量级,渗透系数极低,因此不能认为众多贯通孔隙即为渗流通道;通过电场作用下淤泥土的渗透系数试验发现渗透系数随着电压的变化而变化,进而验证淤泥渗透系数受结合水含量和有效孔径控制.

无信控路段人行横道处行人过街建模与仿真

为精细化描述无信控路段人行横道处行人过街决策及微观运动行为,本文在行人过街行为分析的基础上,基于战术层-操作层构建行人过街双层模型。其中,在战术层面,针对行人分步决策特性,利用二元Logistic回归模型构建路侧和路中行人过街决策模型;在操作层面,针对传统社会力模型在描述行人过街时表现出的局限性,引入行人主动避让力和人行横道对行人的作用力,构建行人过街微观运动模型。最后,通过AnyLogic仿真平台实现行人过街双层模型仿真,并根据实际数据和仿真结果分析模型有效性。结果表明：相较于路侧决策模型,行人性别、停车视距内的车辆数和行人距潜在冲突点的距离这3个因素对行人路中决策结果影响更显著,引入行人主动避让力和人行横道对行人作用力的改进社会力模型,能更好地反映无信控路段行人过街时的行为特征。无信控路段人行横道处行人过街行为仿真模型的有效建立,能为后续行人过街安全改善方案提供决策支持。     

行人过街风格多参数融合识别

行人作为城市慢行交通系统中的弱势群体,探究其过街行为特征,对减少人车冲突,提升行人过街的本质安全具有重要的现实意义。本文针对特定交叉口,设计自由过街及心理临界过街两种场景状态下的行人过街试验。分析过街速度、心理临界时窗及视觉特性等参数之间的耦合关系,选取风险感知因子与临界安全系数作为心理临界过街状态下行人风格的表征指标,构建过街风格识别模型,透析不同风格行人过街行为可靠性。结果表明：年龄对过街速度和心理临界时窗有显著影响;心理临界时窗与过街速度和信号灯区域注视概率呈负相关关系,与车行区域注视概率呈正相关;心理临界过街状态下,依据风格识别结果,男性谨慎程度高于女性,冒险型行人过街失败率为65.22%;冒险型老年人对自身运动机能的评估能力以及视觉搜索特征存在重要缺憾。研究结果可为交叉口基础设施设计与优化,行人过街教育与培训等提供参考。     

Why do some motorbike riders wear a helmet and others don’t? Evidence from Delhi,India

Road traffic accident fatalities lead to important private and social costs in the metropolitan areas of most low and middle income countries. An important share of these fatalities is due to injuries to the head and the neck. Helmets can provide efficient protection, but many drivers do not use them. We focus on helmet use behavior among motorbike users in Delhi. We use a detailed data set collected for the purpose of the study. To guide our empirical analysis, we rely on a model in which drivers decide on self-protection and self-insurance. The empirical findings suggest that risk-averse drivers are more likely to wear a helmet and that this has no systematic effect on speed. Helmet use also increases with education. Drivers who show a higher awareness of road risks seem to be both more likely to wear a helmet and to speed less. Controlling for risk awareness, we observe that drivers tend to compensate between speed and helmet use. The results can provide a basis for awareness-raising policies. They also show that improvements to the road infrastructure risk leading to risk-compensating behavior.     

Forecasting travel behavior using Markov Chains-based approaches

Recent advances in agent-based micro-simulation modeling have further highlighted the importance of a thorough full synthetic population procedure for guaranteeing the correct characterization of real-world populations and underlying travel demands. In this regard, we propose an integrated approach including Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation and profiling-based methods to capture the behavioral complexity and the great heterogeneity of agents of the true population through representative micro-samples. The population synthesis method is capable of building the joint distribution of a given population with its corresponding marginal distributions using either full or partial conditional probabilities or both of them simultaneously. In particular, the estimation of socio-demographic or transport-related variables and the characterization of daily activity-travel patterns are included within the framework. The fully probabilistic structure based on Markov Chains characterizing this framework makes it innovative compared to standard activity-based models. Moreover, data stemming from the 2010 Belgian Household Daily Travel Survey (BELDAM) are used to calibrate the modeling framework. We illustrate that this framework effectively captures the behavioral heterogeneity of travelers. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the proposed framework is adequately adapted to meeting the demand for large-scale micro-simulation scenarios of transportation and urban systems.     

Classification of Livebus arrivals user behavior

With the increasing use of Intelligent Transport Systems, large amounts of data are created. Innovative information services are introduced and new forms of data are available, which could be used to understand the behavior of travelers and the dynamics of people flows. This work analyzes the requests for real-time arrivals of bus routes at stops in London made by travelers using Transport for London's LiveBus Arrivals system. The available dataset consists of about one million requests for real-time arrivals for each of the 28 days under observation. These data are analyzed for different purposes. LiveBus Arrivals users are classified based on a set of features and using K-Means, Expectation Maximization, Logistic regression, One-level decision tree, Decision Tree, Random Forest, and Support Vector Machine (SVM) by Sequential Minimal Optimization (SMO). The results of the study indicate that the LiveBus Arrivals requests can be classified into six main behaviors. It was found that the classification-based approaches produce better results than the clustering-based ones. The most accurate results were obtained with the SVM-SMO methodology (Precision of 97%). Furthermore, the behavior within the six classes of users is analyzed to better understand how users take advantage of the LiveBus Arrivals service. It was found that the 37% of users can be classified as interchange users. This classification could form the basis of a more personalized LiveBus Arrivals application in future, which could support management and planning by revealing how public transport and related services are actually used or update information on commuters.
