Context-dependent influence of road attributes and pricing policies on route choice behavior of truck drivers: results of a conjoint choice experiment

In this paper, we report the results of a stated choice experiment, which was conducted to examine truck drivers?? route choice behavior. Of particular interest are the questions (i) what is the relative importance of road accessibility considerations via-a-vis traditional factors influencing route choice behavior, (ii) what are the influences of particular personal and situational variables on the evaluation of route attributes, (iii) how sensitive are truck drivers for possible pricing policies, and (iv) is there a difference in impact if environmental concerns are framed as a bonus or as a pricing instrument. The main findings indicate that road accessibility characteristics have a substantial impact on route preferences which is of the same order of magnitude as variation in travel times. This suggests that provision of adequate travel information in itself can be an effective instrument to prevent negative externalities of good transport associated with shortest routes. Furthermore, the results indicate that truck drivers/route planners when choosing a route are relatively sensitive to road pricing schemes and rather insensitive to environmental bonuses.     

Tradeoffs among free-flow speed, capacity, cost, and environmental footprint in highway design

This paper investigates differentiated design standards as a source of capacity additions that are more affordable and have smaller aesthetic and environmental impacts than modern expressways. We consider several tradeoffs, including narrow versus wide lanes and shoulders on an expressway of a given total width, and high-speed expressway versus lower-speed arterial. We quantify the situations in which off-peak traffic is sufficiently great to make it worthwhile to spend more on construction, or to give up some capacity, in order to provide very high off-peak speeds even if peak speeds are limited by congestion. We also consider the implications of differing accident rates. The results support expanding the range of highway designs that are considered when adding capacity to ameliorate urban road congestion.

装配式码头灌浆连接节点压弯性能试验研究

对3组装配式码头灌浆连接节点试件进行压弯试验,研究不同灌浆长度和灌浆厚度下灌浆节点的压弯承载力、延性和破坏模式。结果表明,灌浆节点试件具有较好的延性和较高的承载力,灌浆节点受压弯荷载的破坏模式为钢管的压屈破坏;压弯构件的极限承载力随着灌浆长度的增大而增大;灌浆厚度的变化对构件的承载力影响不大,但灌浆厚度增大可以提高灌浆体底部的抗裂能力,建议实际应用时适当增大灌浆厚度。     

管棚超前支护在平顶直墙隧道中的优化设计

管棚法作为浅埋暗挖隧道的一种辅助工法在防止隧道塌方、控制地层位移方面发挥着重要作用.管棚设计需要确定两个基本参数--间距、截面尺寸.而管棚的设计理论还不够成熟.文章引入土拱原理可以计算管棚的最大间距;而对于截面尺寸.提出在弹性地基梁法的基础上,考虑隧道开挖影响并结合增量法进行计算较为合理.同时认为,两个基本参数的相互影响必须综合考虑,假定管棚直径进行间距设计,应根据管棚受力分析进行校核,通过多次循环假定、计算、校核以得到较为合理的管棚设计参数.     

不同碳材料对挥发性有机气体的吸附性能研究

本文以苯、正庚烷、1,2-二氯乙烷、氟利昂22(F22)作为VOCs代表物质,考察了不同碳材料对VOCs的吸附能力。试验结果表明:不同碳材料对苯、正庚烷、1,2-二氯乙烷的吸附呈现出相似规律。在相同的吸附条件下,吸附能力是球形活性炭>常规活性碳>改性活性碳纤维>活性炭纤维,同一种碳材料对三种代表物质的吸附能力为:正庚烷>苯>1,2-二氯乙烷。几种碳材料对F22的吸附能力很差。
