智能移动系统中大规模分布式车辆路径规划问题研究

本文针对智能交通和主动交通管理提出了一种适用于大规模交通分配和路径规划的分布式计算方法。讨论了通过信息传递接口(MPI)在多中央处理器(CPU)上并行计算实现的一系列研究需求和实现挑战;将基于时空事件的车辆路径规划模型应用于大规模的城市路网仿真;将原始车辆路径规划模型分解为一系列计算效率较高的子问题,大幅减少了仿真耗时和通信开销。通过将子问题分发到单独的分布式CPU上,使CPU可以同时执行其任务,并保证较好的负载平衡。重点分析了将所提出的方法应用于北京路网大规模路径规划,以及该方法在不同CPU核数下的计算效率。结果表明:所提出的并行计算方法可以显著减少计算耗时,并在512个计算节点上实现200倍以上的加速比。

Severity of injury resulting from pedestrian–vehicle crashes: What can we learn from examining the built environment?

This paper examines the impact of personal and environmental characteristics on severity of injuries sustained in pedestrian–vehicle crashes using a generalized ordered probit model. The data covers 2000–2004 of pedestrian–vehicle crashes taken from police incident reports for Baltimore City and supplemented with local land use, urban form and transportation information specific to the individual crash locations. The results on personal and behavioral variables confirm previous findings. Women pedestrians involved in crashes tend to be injured less frequently than their male counterparts; children have an increased likelihood of sustaining injuries and older persons are more likely to be fatally injured. Pedestrians who cross against the traffic signal, are not in a crosswalk and are involved in a crash after dark are associated with greater injury risk. Of the built environment policy variables of interest, transit access and greater pedestrian connectivity, such as central city areas, are significant and negatively associated with injury severity. These results suggest that the environmental conditions should be given more scrutiny and be an important consideration when evaluating and planning for pedestrian safety.

一体化网络中支持寻呼的移动性管理机制

一体化网络是一种基于身份信息和位置信息分离的网络体系结构,能够有效支持主机的移动性.但随着用户数量的增多,信令开销可能成为制约网络发展的瓶颈之一.为了有效地减少移动过程中的信令开销,本文在一体化网络体系结构的基础上,提出了一种支持寻呼的移动性管理机制.此外,本文还建立了解析模型,导出了信令开销的计算公式,并分析了不同系统参数对信令花费的影响.性能分析结果表明,寻呼机制能够减少信令开销,从而增强了网络的性能.

Performance comparison between pedestrian push-button and pre-timed pedestrian crossings at midblock: a Korean case study

Walking has been highlighted as an independent transportation mode as well as an access/egress mode to/from public transit to encourage the use of more sustainable transport systems. However, walking does not seem to have priority over other transportation modes, especially in areas where various modes of movement are in conflict. The pedestrian push-button system seems to be a solution to distribute the right of way. The focus of this study is on the performance issue of the pedestrian push-button. Specifically, this study deals with issues related to mid-block crossings and attempts to answer two questions: whose waiting time is longer at pre-timed and push-button crossings, pedestrians, or vehicles? and which system – pre-timed or push-button – is better in terms of total waiting time? According to our simulation analyses, if the pedestrian flow rate is less than 120, 85, and 70 ped/h for two-, three-, and four-lane roads, respectively, the push-button system is recommended.     

Transport and society1

In 1963, the Buchanan Report in the UK advocated a combination of new road capacity, improved public transport and traffic restraint as a means to tackle congestion. Forty years on, and the advice from many transport experts remains the same. However, the scale and complexity of the problems associated with a mobility‐dependent society have grown. The need for politicians to make tough but realistic policy decisions on transport is now becoming unavoidable. They must confront the realities of living with the car as must the general public. Policymakers now also have social well‐being and sustainable development moving higher on their agendas alongside transport. Against such a backdrop, the paper makes the case for transport research, policy and practice to acknowledge more fully the inherent links between transport and society. It argues that greater recognition and understanding of such links is crucial to confronting the present realities. Transport does not merely serve society: it shapes society, as in turn society shapes transport. The future of each is dependent on the other, and this fact must be recognized. The paper advocates in turn that the transport profession must move from its heartlands in engineering and economics also to embrace more fully such disciplines as sociology and psychology. A factual picture of the many facets of present‐day society is presented and the implications for travel demand are discussed. Through considering phenomena such as social norms and habitual behaviour, it is then argued that the travel choices and behaviour of individuals are not simply a matter of economic optimization. This points to the need for decision‐makers to be furnished with better evidence about the transport problems faced and the potential efficacy of measures that might be taken. Discussion of public attitudes and the role of the media are included in the context of assessing how politicians can be encouraged and supported in their implementation of realistic but unpopular policies. Evidence and experience within the paper are UK based, although many of the issues and arguments apply world wide.
