轻轨车辆噪声评价标准初探

根据轻轨车辆噪声的现状及特点,本文认为轻轨车辆的噪声仍以A声级评价为宜,但需规定容许的倍频程带声压值,以抑制低频噪声对人体的影响,同时提出了轻轨车辆噪声的控制标准。最后还指出了A声级评价总体的缺陷,建议应以人体工程学为基础,综合考虑噪声对人体的多方面危害,以制定出更完善的轻轨车辆噪声评价标准。

Allocation of funds to public transport investment and operating support

This paper reviews the present levels of operating support to, and public investment in, public transport systems in Western Europe. All internal bus, tram and rail services are included, and estimates made for total support in Britain, Sweden, West Germany, the Netherlands and France. To make comparison meaningful, these are shown in relation to GDP and traffic carried. Support levels in Britain are below average, but by no means the lowest as sometimes assumed. Reasons for providing support are considered, including existence of financial burdens arising historically, assistance to particular groups of users, problems in price discrimination and inability of other modes' charges to reflect costs. The extent to which support payments may merely subsidise inefficiency is outlined. A distinction is drawn between productive efficiency, i.e. the resources used to provide a specified level of service and fare, and allocative efficiency, i.e. the extent to which resources are allocated so as to maximise traffic, etc. The extent for reducing support yet retaining the present general level of service and fare is considered.Means of raising finance for support are outlined, including relative roles of central and local government. The scope of local taxes being raised to meet local objectives is considered, notably in the French versement transport: In conclusion, it is suggested that trunk inter-city services should cover all costs from fares, by a discriminatory pricing policy, but central government provide a basic support level for rural areas. In urban areas, practical limits exist to price discrimination, and the best policy may be collective purchase of facilities through a local tax.     

Traffic planning of Kejetia: The piccadilly circus of Kumasi,Ghana

This article derives from a study concerned with the traffic implications of a proposed redevelopment of the Central Market in Ghana's second largest city, Kumasi, which is situated almost in the geographic centre of the country. The market adjoins a big roundabout which is located at the point of intersection not only of north-south national routes but also at a point on which most of the city's main roads carrying cross-town traffic converge. The problem of traffic in terms of accessibility and environment is described in relation to the functions of the market. This is compared with a similar situation in London's Piccadilly Circus. Based on the results of traffic surveys and an analysis of the urban structure, alternative solutions to the problem in Kumasi are examined and tested using traffic assignment techniques. Consequently, on the basis of accessibility and environmental requirements, proposals are made as to the best line of action to take. The article ends with some lessons of the study.     

Active Roll Control of Articulated Vehicles

This paper describes an investigation into active roll control of articulated vehicles. The objective is to minimise lateral load transfer using anti-roll bars incorporating low bandwidth hydraulic actuators. Results from handling tests performed on an articulated vehicle are used to validate a nonlinear yaw/roll model of the vehicle. The methodology used to design lateral acceleration controllers for vehicles equipped with active anti-roll bars is developed using a simplified linear articulated vehicle model. The hardware limitations and power consumption requirements of the active elements are studied. The controller is then implemented in the validated articulated vehicle model to evaluate the performance of an articulated lorry with active anti-roll bars. The simulation results demonstrate the possibility of a significant improvement in transient roll performance of the vehicle, using a relatively low power system (10 kW), with low bandwidth actuators (5 Hz).     

Optimal Control of a Vehicle Suspension Incorporating the Time Delay between Front and Rear Wheel Inputs

An optimal control law for a vehicle suspension is developed using a discrete linear quadratic regulator framework. The time delay between the disturbance due to the road at the front and rear wheels is incorporated into the model, and it is shown that the optimal control law requires information gathered at the front wheels. A comparison is made between the optimal control law and a suboptimal one which does not incorporate front wheel road information.     

Roadway Elevation Profile Generation for Vehicle Simulation

With a simplified approach for creating road surface elevation information for simulation of vehicle vertical response to roadway unevenness, roadways for single and parallel track simulations and averaged roads for variable velocity simulation are developed. Sets of correctly chosen random roadway slopes are averaged appropriately for the variable velocity simulation. The procedure generates approximately “white” slope spectral density roadways in the frequency ranges of interest, and the elevation profiles are representative of average road profiles. The method is simple in practice yet suffices for many parameter studies of suspensions and vehicle dynamics.     

The Steering Characteristics of Multiple Axle Bogie Systems

Legislation limits the load that may be transferred to the roadway by the axies of a commercial vehicle and this has resulted in the development of multi axle bogies for both the tractor and trailer units of articulated vehicles and at the rear of rigid vehicles, some of these bogies contain self steering or articulation steered axles

Experience shows that the tyre wear characteristics of multi axle bogies may be unsatisfactory. The paper analyses the role of such bogies in the context of vehicle handling and shows how the lateral tyre forces vary between the axles. An hypotheses relating the forces in a steady state turn to wear is given. The analysis may also be applied to the general case of vehicle handling.     

Research on the Mechanical Properties of Transparent Sand Based on Triaxial TestEI北大核心

Research purposes: Transparent sand is a new type of geotechnical engineering material, which is made of fused silica sand and porous liquid with the same refractive index. In order to understand its mechanical properties, the CU and CD tests of fused silica sand with a particle size of 0.5~1.0 mm and 1.0~3.0 mm are carried out by triaxial apparatus, and the stress-strain curves, pore water pressure changes and effective stress ratio of the two are compared and analyzed. In addition, E-μ model parameters of coarse and fine sand are calculated respectively, which provide corresponding parameters for further numerical calculations. Research conclusions:(1) The loose sample's stress-strain curve shows hardening characteristics. (2) The coarse particle specimen with steeper stress-strain curve comes to the peak at faster velocity than fine particle specimen. (3)The pore pressure value of the coarse particle specimen is greater than the fine particle, the pore water pressure coefficient of the two shows a decreasing trend with the increase of the confining pressure. (4) Transparent sand can be used to simulate natural sand and the change of diameter can represent different soils. (5) The research results can provide reference for model tests based on transparent soil technique. © 2018, Editorial Department of Journal of Railway Engineering Society. All right reserved.
