A stated preference examination of time of travel choice for a recreational trip: An addendum

A paper was published in the immediately previous issue of this journal describing a stated preference experiment examining how people are influenced in the selection of a departure time for a hypothetical trip to see a movie. The title was ‘A stated preference examination of time of travel choice for a recreational trip’, Volume 30(3):17–44. Numbers were used to indicate references in the text of the paper and in Table 1 accompanying the text, but these numbers were omitted from the list of references at the end of the paper - making it very difficult to identify specific citations. The list of references from the paper is reprinted below with the reference numbers included. This provides a listing that can be used in conjunction with the text of the paper and Table 1 as published to identify specific citations as intended.     

Active Roll Control for Passenger Cars

The development of a mathematical model of a limited bandwidth hydro-pneumatic suspension that is incorporated into a vehicle handling model is described. The combined model is used to evaluate a suitable control strategy for eliminating body roll during a cornering manoeuvre. The philosophy behind the roll control strategy has been to use feedback measurements of the body motions which do not compromise the ride control. A study of the influence of the position of the body motion feedback transducer on the effectiveness of the system to reduce the body roll is presented. Non-linear modelling of the suspension components for a 0.8g cornering manoeuvre has revealed performance limitations. Conclusions are drawn as to the effectiveness of the control scheme.     

The potential for real-time passenger information as part of an integrated bus-control/information system

This paper is concerned with the effect of linking innovative bus-control systems with real-time passenger information, with the overall aim of improving conditions for bus operation and passengers in central urban corridors. The first section presents a concise review of bus passenger information systems (particularly their application at bus stops). Then the concept of real-time passenger information is explored. The case for and against real-time information is argued and two British case-studies follow. In the second section it is argued that the provision of real-time information, as part of an integrated bus-control/information system, offers new possibilities for meeting the identified needs of public transport users. Finally, in the third section, some comments are made on the evaluation of different combinations of bus-control and passenger information tested using a simulation method and a series of subjective response surveys. General relationships governing the degree of bus-control required and the extent of information needed are of special interest.

Evasive manoeuvres with a steering robot

In the pursuit of an objective rating on vehicle stability performance, it is always desirable to reduce disturbances and inconsistencies during experimental evaluations, especially the ones introduced by human drivers. This paper presents the development of a steering robot designed for closed-loop steering tasks during evasive manoeuvres. It describes the controller structure and discusses experimental results, in addition to simulation/vehicle model verifications and theoretical control analysis.     

烟大铁路轮渡及其渡船的结构与性能

铁路轮渡是沿河(海)岸线或跨海的长距离"水(海)铁路"运输,在海岸线长、沿海水域辽阔的国家,利用"海上铁路"轮渡开展跨海、跨国的国际联运。烟大铁路轮渡项目集铁路、港口、海上安监、渡船四项工程于一体,是具有多专业技术的系统工程。通过国内外广泛调查研究,其操作性能为安全航行提供可靠保障。烟大铁路轮渡完善了路网结构,开辟了东北地区到山东省及东部沿海地区的最短径路,形成一条新的铁路入关通道。     

人工神经网络在基坑变形性状研究中的应用

基坑工程不仅要保证维护结构本身的安全,而且要保证周围建(构)筑物的安全和正常使用。开展基坑工程变形性状研究具有重要意义。影响基坑变形的因素很复杂,传统的计算方法已无法准确预测基坑的变形。人工神经网络(ANN)有很强的解决非线性问题的能力。近些年来基于ANN的方法在岩土工程中得到了广泛的应用。本文对ANN在基坑工程中的应用研究进行了综述,并对其发展方向进行了分析。     

施工图设计-施工总承包模式在铁路建设中的应用研究

工程总承包是目前国际上流行的项目管理模式。铁路建设推行施工图设计-施工总承包模式,实现业主与总承包商签订施工图设计和施工合同,施工图设计和施工同时进行,统筹安排和优化,总体控制项目造价。推进铁路建设施工图设计-施工总承包模式,国家及铁道部应建立和完善有关的法律法规与规章,借鉴国内外经验,使工程总承包模式更加规范化、标准化、多样化。     

新建铁路路基改良土动力学试验研究

针对新建铁路基床底层填筑中黏土是否需要进行改良以及改良深度的问题,采用现场动载激振试验的研究方法,对基床底层未改良、部分改良、全部改良的基床结构进行动应力、动变形、塑性变形等项目的测试。通过对不同基床底层结构形式的动载模拟试验研究和测试结果的对比分析,得出路基的弹塑性变形、动刚度随激振次数的变化趋势。
