Competitiveness of container terminal operating companies in South Korea and the industry–university–government network

Burgeoning container port facilities have fostered intensified competition among container terminal operating companies (CTOCs). However, despite research into their survival strategies which identified antecedents of competitiveness including hard factors such as facilities, available cargo and cargo processing ability, softer factors spanning human resource management, networks and strategic alliances with universities and government agencies in industry–university–government (I–U–G) networks have been overlooked. This study aims to examine both hard and softer antecedents of competitiveness as perceived by 152 professionals in South Korean CTOCs; empirical relationships among these antecedents, I–U–G networks, and competitiveness itself; and the significance of the I–U–G network in establishing and improving competitiveness. Posited antecedents of competitiveness included human resources, facilities, service quality, customer orientation, reputation, and government support policy as independent variables; the I–U–G network as a moderating variable; and competitiveness as a dependent variable. Empirical structural relationships revealed that excepting government support policy, each variable significantly affected CTOC competitiveness. Further, the I–U–G network moderated the relationships between the antecedents of competitiveness and competitiveness. Because an effective I–U–G network was pivotal in controlling CTOC competitiveness, improved competitiveness requires not only differentiation of human resources, facilities, service quality, customer orientation, and reputation factors but also I–U–G network developments.

A framework for travel time variability analysis using urban traffic incident data

This study aims to develop a framework to estimate travel time variability caused by traffic incidents using integrated traffic, road geometry, incident, and weather data. We develop a series of robust regression models based on the data from a stretch in California's highway system during a two-year period. The models estimate highway clearance time and percent changes in speed for both downstream and upstream sections of the incident bottleneck. The results indicate that highway shoulder and lane width factor adversely impact downstream highway clearance time. Next, travel time variability is estimated based on the proposed speed change models. The results of the split-sample validation show the effectiveness of the proposed models in estimating the travel time variability. Application of the model is examined using a micro-simulation, which demonstrates that equipping travelers with the estimated travel time variability in case of an incident can improve the total travel time by almost 60%. The contribution of this research is to bring several datasets together, which can be advantageous to Traffic Incident Management.

软弱围岩隧道开挖后自稳能力差,易发生大的变形、钢架扭曲等现象。为降低安全风险,依托郑万高铁高家坪隧道进口机械化全断面爆破施工,对支护体系下的围岩压力、钢架应力、初喷混凝土应力、锚杆轴力、围岩内部位移、掌子面挤出变形等进行系统试验研究。试验结果表明： 围岩压力、钢架应力、初喷混凝土应力受岩性条件、施工扰动等因素影响显著,随时间推移均呈现“急剧增大、缓慢增大、波动变化、稳定收敛”的变化规律; 通过锚杆轴力峰值位置可以初步判定围岩塑性区范围约为距洞壁3.0 m。基于现场试验监测,通过数值模拟分析了初期支护结构压应力、轴力和弯矩的分布情况,与现场量测数据相符,较好地反映了初期支护受力特征。本次试验的相关方法、手段和结论对隧道机械化大断面施工软弱围岩变形与支护体系受力研究具有借鉴作用,同时也为建立科学合理的支护结构体系提供了参考。     

地铁车站超宽深基坑内既有高架桥梁桩基托换关键技术研究

佛山地铁2号线换乘车站张槎站基坑宽50.3 m,深16.9 m,局部位于既有禅西大道桥下（净高仅7 m）。为解决低矮空间下超宽深基坑支护、既有高架桥桩基托换等难题,提出如下技术措施： 1)采用高桩承台桩基托换技术对位于车站中央桥桩进行托换,托换承台高于车站基坑面,基坑内支撑穿过新旧桩基形成对撑,内支撑与新旧桩相对独立; 2)地下连续墙幅宽调整为4 m,采用小型钻机成槽,以改善桥下施工工艺; 3)地下连续墙与两侧既有桩之间增加防塌孔措施; 4)基坑内支撑均采用混凝土支撑并加临时立柱以增加内支撑稳定性。以上措施解决了托换体系与车站基坑相互影响的问题,确保了低矮空间下超宽深基坑施工安全及既有桩基的安全。经数值计算论证、现场施工验证,提出的超宽深基坑内既有高架桥梁桩基托换关键技术是合理、安全、可行的。
