Conflict-free arrival and departure trajectory planning for parallel runway with advanced point-merge system

In this paper, an efficient trajectory planning system is proposed to solve the integration of arrivals and departures on parallel runways with a novel route network system. Our first effort is made in designing an advanced Point Merge (PM) route network named Multi-Level Point Merge (ML-PM) to meet the requirements of parallel runway operations. Then, more efforts are paid on finding a complete and efficient framework capable of dynamically modelling the integration of arrival and departure trajectories on parallel runways, modelling the conflict detection and resolution in presence of curved trajectory and radius-to-fix merging process. After that, a suitable mathematical optimization formulation is built up. Receding Horizon Control (RHC) and Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithms are proposed to search the near-optimal solution for the large scale trajectories in routine dense operations. Taking Beijing Capital International Airport (BCIA) as a study case, the experimental results show that our system shows good performances on the management of arrivals and departures. It can automatically solve all the potential conflicts in presence of dense traffic flows. With its unique ML-PM route network, it can realize a shorter flying time and a near-Continuous Descent Approach (CDA) descent for arrival aircraft, an economical climbing for departure aircraft, an easier runway allocation together with trajectory control solutions. It shows a good and dynamic sequencing efficiency in Terminal Manoeuvring Area (TMA). In mixed ML-PM mode, under tested conditions, our proposed system can increase throughput at BCIA around 26%, compared with baseline. The methodology defined here could be easily applied to airports worldwide.     

Influential vectors in fuel consumption by an urban bus operator: Bus route,driver behavior or vehicle type?

Energy costs account for an important share of the total costs of urban and suburban bus operators. The purpose of this paper is to expand empirical research on bus transit operation costs and identify the key factors that influence bus energy efficiency of the overall bus fleet of one operator and aid to the management of its resources.We estimate a set of multivariate regression models, using cross-section dataset of 488 bus drivers operating over 92 days in 2010, in 87 routes with different bus typologies, of a transit company operating in the Lisbon’s Metropolitan Area (LMA), Rodoviária de Lisboa, S.A.Our results confirm the existence of influential variables regarding energy efficiency and these are mainly: vehicle type, commercial speed, road grades over 5% and bus routes; and to a lesser extent driving events such as: sudden longitudinal decelerations and excessive engine rotation. The methodology proved to be useful for the bus operator as a decision-support tool for efficiency optimization purpose at the company level.     

大丰港海域挟沙力关系式分析及应用

基于大丰港附近海域实测水文泥沙资料,对目前国内应用较为广泛的5种挟沙力关系式在大丰港附近海域进行应用计算,在此基础上,采用集中系数法和偏离系数法对计算结果进行对比分析。结果表明:河口水流挟沙力公式能较好地反映大丰港海域的水流挟沙情况,并拟合得到适用于大丰港海域的挟沙力关系式,将该公式应用于大丰港实际围垦工程中,通过建立二维水动力泥沙数学模型,计算得到的围垦后垦区海域年冲淤变化趋势,与数值模拟结果基本相同,表明该公式在大丰港海域具有良好的适用性。

长江下游福南水道港航功能调整及涉港水域平面布置

福姜沙河段是长江下游唯一的两级分汊、三汊(福南、福中和福北)并存且通航的河段,目前右汊即福南水道为主航道所在,且其右岸也是中国最大内河港苏州港张家港港区的主要作业区所在。根据长江南京以下河段12.5 m深水航道建设方案以及福南水道上口、转弯段水深不足或通航水域宽度不足的情况,结合福南水道内的港口岸线利用及泊位分布现状及其规划,本文分区段论证实际将成为专用进港航道的福南水道的航道等级及航道尺度,并对水道内港作业水域重新进行了平面布置。最后,采用数学模型对调整后的水域布置进行回淤研究,并提出初步的减淤措施。
